Summary

The Anti Craft Laser (AA) is a 2x2 defense room unlocked at level five. It's the only room available to players that can shoot and destroy enemy Crafts launched from the Hangar. As a result, it's also a massive target for Hangar users.

Usage

In Combat

The AA is a very high risk, high reward room. An AA by itself cannot defend against experienced Hangar users, and its 2 maximum power would just make it an easy target for hull damage. Thus, 4+ Armor is a necessity for the AA. Despite the risks, the AA is still the best counter to the Hangar.

When To Use

The AA should never be used by itself. It's too easily disabled and then focused fired for it to be worthwhile. Thus, players recommend waiting until level 8 where two AAs are available. With 2 AAs, even if one is EMP'd, the other one can continue to attack the swarming enemy Craft.

AI

Below is an AI command that automatically depowers the Anti Craft Laser when there are no enemy Crafts launched.

Enemy Has Active Craft -> Increase Power By 1

None -> Set Zero Power

Crew Interactions

The Anti Craft Laser is buffed with the Weapon stat on Crew. The reload reduction formula applied when the Anti Craft Laser is buffed can be found here.

 =='''Usage'''==
 ==='''In Combat'''===
-The Anti Craft Laser can be a very risky room to use. One Anti Craft Laser by itself usually can't defend against experienced Hangar users and the two maximum power can allow for easy hull damage. Thus, it is important to [[Armor]] this room well and situate it near repair crew. Despite the downsides, this room is by far one the best ways to counter the Hangar. The fast reload and decent damage can kill Crafts very quickly.
+The AA is a very high risk, high reward room. An AA by itself cannot defend against experienced Hangar users, and its 2 maximum power would just make it an easy target for hull damage. Thus, 4+ [[Armor]] is a necessity for the AA. Despite the risks, the AA is still the best counter to the Hangar.
 ==='''When To Use'''===
+The AA should never be used by itself. It's too easily disabled and then focused fired for it to be worthwhile. Thus, players recommend waiting until level 8 where two AAs are available. With 2 AAs, even if one is [[EMP Damage|EMP'd]], the other one can continue to attack the swarming enemy Craft.
-When to use the Anti Craft Laser usually depends on playstyle. [[Teleport]] ships can usually wait until level eight, while slow paced gunships might need the defensive capabilities of the room sooner. Usually, waiting until level eight when two AA rooms can be used is optimal, since two AAs make it far more difficult for the enemy to pile up Crafts.
 ==='''[[AI]]'''===
-Since the Anti Craft Laser can only attack Crafts, it doesn’t need power if the enemy doesn't have a Hangar. Below is an AI command that will automatically depower the Anti Craft Laser if the enemy doesn't have any craft deployed. Also, the Anti Craft Laser is counted as an "AntiCraft" in AI coding.
