Ship abilities
Ships can have special abilities, such as Cloak or Gravitonic.
PCC2 uses the PHost 4 ship abilities internally. Even when you're using a game not hosted by PHost 4, ships will have Tow when they can tow, or Full Weaponry when they belong to the Feds.
Abilities available to all ships are considered racial abilities. Those are not shown on the normal specification sheet, but listed on the ability list. The ability list uses various icons to tell you about an ability's status:
- [U] is a universal ability, which every player has on every ship.
- [R] is a racial ability, which some players have on each of their ships.
- [G] is a general class ability, which every ship of this type has for every player.
- [C] is a class ability, every ship of this type has for some players.
- [S] is a ship ability, which this individual ship has, no matter who owns it.
In addition, a symbol tells you whether you have this ability:
- ▶ you have it
- + you need more experience
- - your experience is too high (maybe you now have a better ability)
- (blank) this ability is only available to other players
