Re: Space station and passenger ability discussion
In this discussion, I will only cover the Space Station and Space Cadet Passenger abilities. The regular Space Cadet abilities are in the other discussion post!
Now, the abilities:
Space Force: Only the Space Station has this ability. Guess what? You can use the force from space to recharge the abilites of you and any connected Space Cadets much more quickly than normal, as well as giving you and connected Space Cadets a movement and attack speed boost for a short time. This effect will apply even if you are a Space Station without Space Cadet Passengers. Now is that cool or what? If you can communicate with your squad and determine when your squad will get the most use out of this ability, this ability can be much more effective. Who knew space could be so useful, cool and powerful? I'm going to use my abilities, then use my abilities again!
Crater Maker: Only the Space Station has this ability. Do you ever wish that you had a laser that will exterminate any enemies that dare get close to it? Well, unfortunately for the enemies, you do indeed have a laser that is so powerful, it even makes craters as you go, wow! When you use this ability, you will hover in the air and summon a huge laser that fires below you and deals very significant damage to all enemies that are hit by this laser. The only issue is that enemies can generally escape this ability quite easily as you are fairly slow, so activate it when you are close to enemies. You cannot attack during it, but connected Space Cadets can, and you cannot cancel this ability, so be mindful of when you activate this ability and you can start exterminating.
Asteroid Shield: Only a Space Cadet Passenger will have this ability. Shielding is caring, right? Absolutely correct there! Using this ability will deploy a shield which will cover part of the Space Station squad that you can use to block attacks. You can turn the shield around to block attacks from a particular direction, so you can turn it to protect the station from places where it is taking significant damage. The shield has 125 health and you can attack with the shield deployed. This ability cannot be cancelled and will not start a cooldown until destroyed, so if you want to cancel it, jump off the Space Station and then get straight back on again. Block those attacks like never before and be the hero of the station while providing cover fire!
Hands-On Torpedo: Only a Space Cadet Passenger will have this ability. Have you ever wanted to control a torpedo? I bet you have not, but it does not matter as you can now. When you use this ability, you will be able to control your own torpedo, which you can use to chase down enemies on low health or to pursuit groups of enemies. It will do up to about 100 damage for a direct hit. While you are controlling the torpedo, the Space Station can still move and you can still have your shield deployed, however you will not really be able to control the shield and you cannot use your primary weapons. Careful of the health of the Space Station when you use this as the ability will be immediately cancelled if the Space Station is vanquished. Torpedo ahoy!
That is all!
