AI War:Ammunition Types

This page is up to date for game version 5.033 and should still be correct.

The Ammunition Type a ship fires is the type of weapon a ship is armed with.
The Ammunition Type does not factor into the damage taken by a ship when it is hit, although a ship can be Immune to a specific ammunition type in which case that ship simply can not be fired on.
The Ammunition Type is found on the first white line of the ship description box as "Ammo: Laser" for a ship armed with laser weaponry.
Any ship abilities are not tied to the Ammunition Type and can be found on the Abilities page.

There are some Ammunition Types that have special behavior:

Energy Bomb (AOE):	Several ships are equipped with a exploding version of the Energy Bomb that can strike multiple targets. The attack strikes the initial target and then explodes striking other targets in a small range. If a ship has the 'AOE' Immunity it takes no damage from the secondary AOE explosion, however it if is the initial ship targeted it takes damage as normal.
Energy Bomb (Plasma Siege Starship):	The Plasma Siege Starship is equipped with a unique version of the Energy Bomb that also does significant engine damage on both the inital strike as well as the secondary AOE explosion. Additionally, if the Energy Bomb strikes a Force Field, 25 units underneath that Force Field take damage equal to 6.25% damage done to the force field. If a ship has the 'AOE' Immunity it takes no damage from the secondary AOE explosion, however it if is the initial ship targeted it takes damage as normal.
Major Electric:	Major Electric is an AOE attack that strikes many targets that comes in two forms. When used by a unit that immolates itself when it attacks, such as the Lightning Missile, the attack hits all targets in range that do not have the 'AOE' Immunity. When used by a unit that does not destroy itself upon attacking, a Major Electric attack can hit up to 200 targets per salvo. If there are fewer then 200 units in range, they start taking multiple hits from the attack, up to a maximum of 5. If there are fewer then 40 targets in range, some of the power of that salvo is wasted.
