Summary
The Fusion Drive Engine is a 3x2 room that can only be obtained if the player goes onto www.pixelstarships.com and buys the Fashionably Late (Supporter Pack) for $45.00. The Fusion Drive Engine functions the same way the normal Engine does. It allows the player to dodge missiles, its dodge chance is altered by its power, and it doesn't need to reload.
Usage
In Combat
The Fusion Drive Engine is essentially just a level 6 Engine and should be treated as such. When the FDE is paired with two max level Engines, it brings the player's dodge chance to 64%. The already present 64% dodge chance makes achieving a 100% dodge chance much easier due to the amount of Engine stat needed to reach 100% dodge chance being significantly lower.
When To Use
The Fusion Drive Engine can be a great Engine substitute for players under level 5 due to ship level requirements that prevent the player from getting a second Engine or a level 6 Engine. After level 6, the FDE usually sees little use. Normal Engines surpass the effectiveness of the FDE at level 7 and running two Engines and one FDE requires a lot of power.
AI
Since the Fusion Drive Engine functions the same way the normal Engine does, its AI coding will also be the same. The below AI command will depower the Fusion Drive Engine if the enemy has no active Missile Launcher/Multi Missile Launcher. The Fusion Drive Engine is also categorized as an "Engine" in AI coding.
Enemy Missile Room HP > 0% -> Set Maximum Power
None -> Set Zero Power
Below is an AI Command that will depower the Fusion Drive Engine if the enemy has no active Missile Launcher/Multi Missile Launcher nor any Craft launched. The Craft section is to protect against Corsair Craft and Firehawk Craft, but it may waste power if the enemy is using a different type of Craft.
Enemy Has Active Craft -> Set Maximum Power
Enemy Missile Room HP > 0% -> Set Maximum Power
None -> Set Zero Power
