Elite - - Destroy 20 enemies
Destroyer - - Land a final hit on Cruiser (or better)
SQUAD LEADER:
He/she has special duties to perform.
Squad Leader has to browse the reserves roster and compose the flight roster for the next mission.
Also, he/she is in charge of requesting armaments, new fighters and modules, making Squad Leader an essential part of the team.
TERRAIN:
Debris: +1 MOV cost, +10 Eva
Asteroid: Impassable
Large Debris: Impassable but Destructible, turns into Debris on hit
Red Gas: +20 Eva
Teal Gas: Units on this tile get x1.5DMG from Energy Weapons
Green Gas: +2 MOV cost
Cargo Unit: Impassable but Destructible, might contain Weapons or Modules. If Pilot grabs it (like Escape Pod) and survives the mission, items are added to mothership's cargo hold
STATUSES:
Plasma Fire:
Places counter (20) on a ship; at start of new turn, deals 1-5dmg and lowers counter by amount of damage dealt. When counter goes to 0 or lower, Plasma Fire ends.
Disable:
Weapons cannot be used.
BOARDING MISSIONS:
Sometimes you will land your fighters in a capital ship and fight to gain control over it or maybe destroy some important installation.
When playing as 'Marine', you can have 4 items, of which 2 can be weapons. There's no Rank dependency on the items a pilot can take and use. Every Marine have 5 'hearts', when those get to 0, the pilot dies. MOV of every character is 5.
Hit, Eva and AS are calculated as if in space combat; there's no Critical mechanic for Marine missions. Laser/Gunner/Rocketry training is not included for combat calculations.
Actions and item usage as if in Fire Emblem. Instead of moving, you can 'take cover'; this increases your Evasion by 40, but you will be able to attack only once (even if your AS is higher than your target's).
