These Gadgets are non-combat devices used mostly by specialist ships. These devices are used to repair ships, build Planets and other work. All utility gadgets are used by all factions.

Mining Beam

Mining Beams are specialized beams equiped on Extractors, Engineering ships and command ships that are used to aquire resources from a planet. Beams are aimed at a planet or asteroid, and while active draw resource units into your cargo bay. Mining Beams are one of the most useful non-combat gadgets, and are vital to early game setup in the Scenario server.

  • Hotkey: G
  • Range: 300 + (Gadget Level * 20) Gu
  • Resource Extraction Rate:
    • Planet: 15 resources per second
    • Asteroid: 30 resources per Second
  • Energy Requirement: 0.2/s
  • Equipable by: Engineering ships(All faction), Command Dreadnought(UGTO,ICC), Command Station(UGTO), Sector Command Station(ICC), Extractor(All Factions), Colony(K'luth)

Swappable with: Tractor Beam

Build Drones

Build Drones are the most important part of the Engineering Ship, used to construct structures on the planet surface. To use the Build Drones, select a build slot on the planet surface and select a structure to build from the appering list. It is easiest to do this in the F3 display. Build Drones will automatically deploy from the vessel and begin construction. Build Drones can only construct one structure at a time.

Alternativly, Build Drones can be used to construct Platforms. To build a Platfrom, the builder must have the appropriate amount of resources in their cargo hold, and select a point in space. Select the desired Platfrom from the appearing list. Build Drones are not swappable with any other device.

  • Equipable by: Engineering ships(All factions), Command Dreadnought(UGTO,ICC), Command Station(UGTO), Sector Command Station(ICC), Colony(K'luth)


Tractor Beam

Tractor Beams are utility devices used to drag an object from one area to another. Ships, asteroids, and Platforms can be moved with the tractor beam.

  • Hotkey: G
  • Range: 150 + (Gadget Level * 20) Gu
  • Energy Requirement: 0.02/s
  • Equipable by: Engineering ships(All factions), Command Dreadnought(UGTO,ICC), Command Station(UGTO), Sector Command Station(ICC), Extractor(All Factions), Colony(K'luth)

Supply Drones

Supply Drones are carried by Supply ships and used to make repairs to the target ship. Supply Drones are an important part to any fleet and are useful as mobile depots, repairing and rearming fleets on the move. Only specialized ships carry Supply Drones, most o which are only lightly armored, and must be defended.

Beacons

With the advent of ECM and the discovery of the cloaking K'luth, the human factions needed to develop a device that could facilitate the detection of these hidden ships. The beacon was developed for this role. A projectile, a beacon is launched at an enemy, and if it successfully hits, raises it Signature significantly.
