If left alone, the far bomber large ship will end up ripping your ship apart. Deciding which of these pests to remove first can be tricky. The smaller ships are annoying pests, they tend to circle about behind the player and stay on them like Vultures. These ships on occasion will also Ram the player – a knack for doing so if you are lining up a kill shot to save a teammate on their side. The next largest ships tend to try to Joust or play Chicken with the Player. Some will go beyond 1000 M to shed lock before turning back. The largest and most armed of the vessels tends to be the one who will fly out to about 1000 M away then turn back and let lose a long volley of missiles and a raining of gunfire. The AI itself is programmed to try various tactics in a Squad style effect. Often 500-700 M is solid for distances as if they slow down or boost forward you get time to adjust also without losing your lock on time so far. Keep your speed in check with the enemy you chase. Very much like driving on a road, keep aware of your surroundings – try to keep mental tabs on where the other enemies are. If you chase too fast you will often be too close to get a missile lock on the ship, as well you may end up ramming them and taking unwanted collision damage with them. The Combat and AI Section will cover the ins and outs of Combat vs the AI in the game.įirst to consider, distances between you and the ship ahead, speeds of both are needed to be considered. Missiles require careful checking on the ship distance in front of you, you need to remain with the Range sweet spot of distance from the enemy to get Missile Lock on the target.įurther information about Combat Ranges and tactics will be covered in the Combat and AI area. AI has been designed to be flighty when fired at, some faster ships can do hairpin turns to evade missiles fired in volleys – though not always. Overall, Missiles are the bread and butter of major damage in Void Warfare. Range: 225 M -1000 M (Any Closer than 225M No lock starts, Further than 1k Lock stops.).Different bays can lock at different times – more bays need a hair of delay for multi-lock on confirmation Cons: Takes some time to reload, will not reload bay unless empty.Pros: Heat Seeks, Aim Locking, can be fired in volleys of 5 Missiles per Bay on ship.If you have a harder time keeping the sights aimed at the target, Beam weapons often are easier to keep on target. If they like to tailgate, having the Projectile Weapons might do more damage consistently. Guns can be mixed and used as the player sees fit based on their play style. Cons: Drains weapon power significantly faster than other Gun weapons.Pros: Easiest to aim, great damage when held on target.Cons: Damage pulses, can take longer to down an enemy.Pros: Easier aim, decent damage for power draw.Pros: Quick and constant Damage, uses less power to keep active.Guns are divided into 3 sub-types Projectile, Pulse Beam and Beam. Weapons in Void Warfare are divided into two types, Guns and Missiles. The Ogin Seeker is far superior to the Ascik Seeker, this allows for those who find the challenge of the better Ogin/Ralloz ships too easy to back off to a less potent ship and test their skills. Ascik is the slowest and least weaponized of the Ship Lines, followed in order rising in power by Ertin, Zela, Ralloz, and Ogin. Small Ships often avoid damage much easier but can take far less before dying. In General, Smaller Ships are faster and more maneuverable than larger ships. +0 is the base rate any ship can normally change direction. Rotation Allowance – How quickly compared to other Ships this vessel can turn to change direction.Max Boost – How fast the Ship can travel at Max Boost Forwards.Max Speed – How fast the Ship can travel at Max Throttle forwards.Missile Bays – How many Missile bays each ship has.

Primary Guns – How many Guns can be used with the ship.Shields – Deflection Shielding – can recharge and takes damage before Hull.Hull – Ship Armor – if it reaches 0 your ship explodes and you die.Information about each will be detailed as well as weapon counts. This Section will cover the different ships in each of their Lines.
