Detailed Combat Events

Many different types of combat events, such as point defence, ship to ship combat and damage, all fall under a single event type - Combat Summary. This limits flexibility for hiding a subset of those events or using different event colours. As an example, in a fighter-heavy campaign, this would allow you to prevent the event window being spammed by fighter point defence or hundreds of small attacks.

For v2.0, Combat Summary events have been split into eighteen different types:

  • Energy Point Defence. The result of a ship of more than 500 tons firing at missiles.

  • Fighter Point Defence. The result of a ship of 500 tons or less firing at missiles.

  • STO Point Defence. The result of an STO weapon firing at missiles.

  • AMM Point Defence. The result of AMMs from a specific ship intercepting missiles.

  • Ship Combat - Energy. The result of a ship of more than 500 tons using energy weapons in offensive mode

  • Fighter Combat - Energy. The result of a ship of 500 tons or less using energy weapons in offensive mode

  • Ship Combat - Missile. The result of missiles launched by a ship of more than 500 tons intercepting their target

  • Fighter Combat - Missile. The result of missiles launched by a ship of 500 tons or less intercepting their target

  • STO Combat. The result of a ground element with STO weapons attacking a target in offensive mode

  • Missile Vs Ship. The result of missiles without ship-based direction intercepting their target

  • Attacked By STO. Summary of hits and damage suffered as a result of attack by STO weapons

  • Attacked By Energy Weapon. Summary of hits and damage suffered as a result of an attack by ship-based energy weapons
