| System Damage | Crew Damage | Shield Damage |
Introduction
System Damage and Crew Damage are the most common form of Damage seen in Pixel Starships. System Damage is the type of damage that affects Room HP and Barriers. System Damage also has the unique ability to turn into Hull Damage once the targetted room is destroyed, making it the most common way people win battles.
System Damage Mechanics
As stated above, System Damage affects room HP and Barriers. A room's HP is determined by its maximum power consumption/production. So a room that consumes a maximum of 5 power will have 5 HP, regardless of its current power consumption. Let's say that room is hit with 2.1 System Damage. The room now has 2.9 HP and since decimals round down for power consumption, the room can now only consume a maximum of two power. Armor can be used to reduce the amount of System Damage taken.
When the target room is destroyed (0 HP), the leftover System Damage will become Hull Damage. Hull Damage is the type of damage that affects a Starship's HP AKA Hull. For example, let's say a room with a maximum of 3 power is hit with 4 System Damage. The room is destroyed, and the remaining 1 System Damage becomes 1 Hull Damage, dealing 1 damage to the ship's hull. Rooms that don't consume power like the Bedroom, will be considered destroyed, even if they haven't been damaged yet.
System Damage Counters
System Damage is never seen by itself and is accompanied by another type of damage, usually Crew Damage. Along with this, most Starship strategies involve overwhelming the enemy ship with System Damage to a point of which the System Damage counters cannot keep up with the damage. This is known as locking down rooms. Thus, it's important to have reliable ways of countering System Damage.
- Shield Generator. Nullifies all System Damage (Excluding Missiles) when the shield is up.
- Armor
- Small Beacon
- Barriers. Only a temporary counter.
- Urgent Repair
- Crew Repair Stat
