Stealing outfits or cargo presents no risk (except for Marauder pirates, which sometimes self-destruct when boarded) and you can freely take as much as your cargo space allows. You can only board using your flagship.īoarding a friendly ship will repair the ship and give you a small reputation boost with that government, while boarding a hostile ship will allow you to plunder and potentially capture it. Disabled ships will show up as grey on the minimap and when you target them. Once a ship has been disabled, you can board it by targeting it and pressing the board key, B by default. There are three basic different types of weapons in Endless Sky: guns, turrets, and secondary weapons (mostly missiles). Weapons with blast radius will deal damage to all ships in range of the blast. Shield Disruption will decrease the shield generation and penetrates the hull of the targeted ship. Shield Piercing allows a percentage of the damage dealt to go straight through the shields and damage the hull. It will increase or decrease the fuel of the targeted ship. It will raise the heat of the targeted ship.įuel damage is an attribute which is not used by any weapons in the game but can be used by modders. Heat damage will be dealt by plasma weapons. It will decrease the energy generation of the targeted ship and can be a good way to disable ships.
Ion damage will damage the ships electrical systems and causes weapon failure. Many of these can only be found on alien ships. The types of special damage are ion, heat, shield piercing, fuel, shield disruption, and area of effect. Some weapons also have special damage types. Different weapons have different values for how much shield or hull damage they will deal. Firing weapons uses energy and produces heat. You can purchase weapons which will do damage against other ships.
There is no way to increase the amount of shields or hull a ship has. Regenerators will take energy and produce heat to function. You can purchase shield and hull regenerators which will repair those when you take damage. A ship will become disabled if its hull reaches 25%-10%, depending on the size of the ship. In Endless Sky, ships have both a shield value and a hull value.
