Unstable shields block no damage until they recharge to their Minimum Integrity, which varies from shield to shield. Shields that are brought to 0 in combat become "unstable" and are represented in red on the shield bar. Shields can protect from both physical and energy attacks and many shields have bonuses against one of damage types. my main tip here is to experiment.Īs for the other settings while they do have a large importance at the defaults your bot will be a good engineer, boarding and such will be covered later.Shield generators are essential part of ships defenses. but some ships such as the roland need that power. if you manage to get super engines that are more than you need there is no reason not to lower it's power, however if you are playing with a live pilot he may be a little mad if you have a bot lower his power :). depending on the ship, equipped engines, and play style. also depending on play style you can severly limit science lab power when at red alert as it is almost impossible to not see someone when they are firing on you, however it needs to be raised if you give the order for a quick escape.Įngineering power settings are extremely variable. and when they are needed they are of extreme importance. then you install thrusters that use 6 times the power and have to add a limit.Ī general suggestion is to always have shields and weapons maxed since they only use power when needed. or as happened to me recently you set everthing to max power to take advantage of your new super reactor. then you get a better reactor and change that limit. for instance you start with a stock reactor that can't power everything. this is also the area that needs to be checked most often. if you know how to play as an engineer you should have little difficulty. also worth noting at the default "reactor saftey" level i have never seen the stability go down.Īll the other settings are play style specific. that is a sure fire way to overheat the reactor. word of warning never have minimize consumption on 0 and keep coolant at 5. The task becomes difficult when the total reactor output is smaller than all of the systems combined, and when the reactor temperature overheats the. The Engineer's job is to maximize the potential power output for each of the four systems connected to the reactor. you would want to change this if doing a stealth run however. Engineer is one of the many classes in PULSAR: Lost Colony. that way when no special conditions are met there is no limit to total usage. i highly sugest for all play styles to set the base priority of "minimize power usage" to zero. Whenever he is manning his station the power levels listed there are the exact percentage of power he limits the system to. this is where most engineer specific settings need changed. one of the unique things with engineer settings is that under behavior tweaks it does not change what he does but how. If you play solo you may notice that your engineer never uses coolant, and more importantly never uses the full power of your reactor! the first thing i suggest is change this. Lets start with the AI i feel needs the most attention. also if one of the default commands dosen't seem to fit your goal you can create several custom ones. use that so battle settings are set quicker. first when ever you fire or are fired on you automaticly go to red alert. it is simple when you have the defaults however it gets complicated when you start meddeling. you need to always know what you are telling your crew to do. The first person you need to set up is the captain :). also note that i am a total noob at making guides so i will listen to any advise given please give it generously i need it :) i will start with class specific advise and move forward to case specific. instead i will be guiding you to find settings that work for your ship and your playstyle. as such i will not be listing any exact settings. The first thing you need to know is that no 2 captains will have the same settings, unless they are the default ones :), and quite often you will need to change the settings just because you got a new reactor.
