Revision as of 16:24, 23 March 2013
This page is up to date for game version 6.013 and is probably outdated. |
Nearly-indestructible robotic courier. Forms convoys and travels between Train Stations causing various problems for the human forces depending on the type of trains in the convoy. Note that Astrotrains do not have a direct attack themselves, they cause problems in other ways.... Astrotrains are enabled individually for each AI under the AI Plots tab during game setup. The range varies from 0 (off) to 10 (nigh-impossible) with 4 being considered the default. |
Train Types (Minimum Intensity)
Train Station (1): | Waypoint for astro trains. Destroy to influence train routing. Causes 3 AIP on death. Note that the AI can build Train Stations once the game is under way by purchasing them from the Zenith Trader. Train stations bought this way do not incur any AIP on death. Stats |
Armor Booster (1): | Acts like the unit of the same name: boosts armor of all AI ships on the planet. |
Armor Inhibitor (7): | Acts like the unit of the same name: negates armor of all enemy-to-AI ships on the planet (also disables shields, like that unit does, though that may be changed in the future for both; it's a holdover from when the armor inhibitor was the shield inhibitor). |
Attack Booster (1): | Boosts the attack of all AI ships on the planet. |
Cargo Train (1): | Harmless in itself, but each "delivery" contributes towards a counter for that player, and when that fills up (you'll see an alert once it's past 50%) it spawns some surprises. The spawns are unpleasant but not massively so (unless you're on intensity 8 or higher, where you're asking for it). |
EMP Train (6): | Basically an EMP-guardian in train form. This is another one of the train types that's got way less hp and thus more feasible to destroy than others. If you have scouting on a planet with one of these, it shows up in the alert box. |
Forcefield Jammer (7): | Prevents human forcefields/shields from working on the planet it's on. |
Gravity Train (4): | Halves the speed of all enemy-to-AI ships on the planet. |
Gravity Jammer (6): | Prevents human gravity emitters from working on the planet it's on (the limited-range stuff, not planet-wide stuff like logistics stations or grav drills). |
Nuclear Train (10): | Kinda like an EMP guardian, but only triggers on non-destroyed planets with a human command station present. Oh, and it's a nuke instead of an EMP. Destroys itself when it goes off. This is one of the train types that's got way less hp and thus more feasible to destroy than others. If you have scouting on a planet with one of these, it shows up in the alert box. If destroyed by hostile fire the nuclear explosion does not go off. |
Radar Jammer (4): | Acts like the unit of the same name: halves attack range of everything on the planet. There's also a MkII variant that only halves enemy (to the AI) ranges. |
Regenerator Train (1): | Resurrects AI units that are destroyed on the same planet. Sacrifices its own health to do so and resurrected units are teleported to a nearby AI planet nearby. |
Repair Train (1): | Basically a super-MRS. |
Shield Train (2): | Basically a shieldbearer (the shield does not push enemy units). Has a lot less health than most of the other trains and is thus somewhat feasible to kill. |
Speed Booster (1): | Boosts the speed of all allied units. |
Tachyon Train (2): | Provides planet-wide tachyon coverage for the AI. |
Tachyon Jammer (3): | Prevents human tachyon emitters from working on the planet it's on. |
Tractor Train (2): | Has a bunch of tractor beams. |
Tractor Jammer (6): | Prevents human tractor beams from working on the planet it's on. |
Widow Train (4): | Has a bunch of paralyzing tractor beams. |
Note that the intensity as listed is the lowest intensity you will see that type of train. As the intensity setting goes above this minimum the more you will see that type of train, and higher Marks of trains for the types that have abilities that scale.
Train Station
Train stations simply act as waypoints for Astrotrains and have no abilities or attack of their own.
Ammo Type | Armor Type | Immunities | Damage Bonuses |
---|---|---|---|
Structural | Fusion Cutters, Attack Boosts, Armor Boosts, Gravity Effects, Attrition, Tractor Beams, Reclamation, Paralysis Attacks, Transport, Swallow, Being Insta-Killed, EMPs |
Damage | Attack Range | Reload | Health | Armor | Speed | Engine Health | Single Ship DPS | Abilities |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
0 | 0 | 0 sec | 50,000,000 | 0 | 0 | Inf | 0 dmg/sec |
High-Health Trains
Most Astrotrains are high-health trains with their own special ability. Note that all trains have the Tachyon Emission Ability that varies based on the specific train type.
Mark level for Astrotrains is in relation to the special ability only, none of the trains base stats change based on Mark.
Ammo Type | Armor Type | Immunities | Damage Bonuses |
---|---|---|---|
Command-Grade | Fusion Cutters, Black Hole Machines, Speed Boosts, Gravity Effects, Attrition, Tractor Beams, Reclamation, Paralysis Attacks, Transport, Swallow, Force Fields, Being Insta-Killed, Repair |
Damage | Attack Range | Reload | Health | Armor | Speed | Engine Health | Single Ship DPS | Abilities |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
0 | 0 | 0 sec | 400,000,000 | 10,000 | 80 | Inf | 0 dmg/sec | Tachyon Beam Emission (750 to 2250 Range) |
Special Abilities:
Armor Booster: | Doubles the armor of all enemy-to-AI ships on the planet. |
Armor Inhibitor: | Reduces the armor to 0 and disables all Force Fields and Shields on all enemy-to-AI units on the planet. |
Attack Booster: | Boosts the attack of all AI ships on the planet by 39/79/119% (Mk. I/II/III). |
Cargo Train: | No combat ability, but spawns a surprise after enough of these have delivered their cargo to its destination. |
Forcefield Jammer: | Disables all enemy force fields and shields on the same planet. |
Gravity Train: | Halves the speed of all enemy-to-AI ships on the planet. |
Gravity Jammer: | Prevents human gravity emitters from working on the planet it's on (the limited-range stuff, not planet-wide stuff like logistics stations or grav drills). |
Radar Jammer: | Mk. I: Halves the range of all units on planet. Mk. II: Halves the range of all enemy units on planet. |
Repair Train: | Mounts a powerful multiplex repair beam that repairs all nearby units. Repair Rate 40/80/120 (Mk. I/II/III). |
Speed Booster: | Boosts the speed of all allied units on the same planet. (Tests required on how much of a boost and if multiple boosts stack.) |
Tachyon Train: | Provides planet-wide tachyon coverage for the AI. |
Tachyon Jammer: | Prevents human tachyon emitters from working on the planet it's on. |
Tractor Train: | Mounts 100/200/300 tractor beams with a 4000/8000/12000 range (Mk. I/II/III) |
Tractor Jammer: | Prevents human tractor beams from working on the planet it's on. |
Widow Train: | Mounts 100/200/300 paralyzing tractor beams with a 4000/8000/12000 range (Mk. I/II/III) |
Medium Health Trains
More dangerous trains that have a relatively lower health that makes them feasible to destroy.
Ammo Type | Armor Type | Immunities | Damage Bonuses |
---|---|---|---|

Regenerator Train: | Resurrects AI units that are destroyed on the same planet. Sacrifices its own health to do so and resurrected units are teleported to a nearby AI planet nearby. |
Shield Train: | Projects a shield to protect nearby units. Shield health is the trains health. |

Really dangerous trains that have a low health so that they can be destroyed before they ruin your day.
Ammo Type | Armor Type | Immunities | Damage Bonuses |
---|---|---|---|
Command-Grade | Fusion Cutters, Black Hole Machines, Speed Boosts, Gravity Effects, Attrition, Tractor Beams, Reclamation, Paralysis Attacks, Transport, Swallow, Force Fields, Being Insta-Killed, Repair |
