## List of Auxiliaries

### Missiles

#### Concussion Missile

The Concussion Missile is a default auxiliary for Fighter-class ships. It is a standard Missile with no special features.

#### Quick-Lock Missile

The Quick-Lock Missile, or Anti-Starfighter Missile, is a default auxiliary for Interceptor-class ships. It locks on quickly, but does less damage.

#### Ion Missile

The Ion Missile deals high damage to shields and subsystems on capital ships, and disables enemy starfighters. However, it deals very little hull damage.

#### Multi-Lock Missile

The Multi-Lock Missile automatically locks on to up to 4 targets in your field of view, and fires Missiles at each of them. Only available to Bomber-class starfighters.

#### Goliath Missile

The Goliath Missile creates a massive explosion on impact, such that it can damage ships that deploy countermeasures. Only available to Bomber-class starfighters.

#### Cluster Missile

The Cluster Missile fires up to 4 Missiles at a single target, making it harder to effectively counter. Only available to Interceptor-class starfighters.

### Torpedoes

#### Proton Torpedo

The Proton Torpedo deals massive damage, but cannot be dumb-fired like Missiles and has a long lock-on time. It also has a minimum range, meaning it cannot be fired within a certain distance of the target.

#### Ion Torpedo

The Ion Torpedo is very similar to the Proton Torpedo, but deals ion damage. As such, it deals high damage to shields and flagship subsystems, but low hull damage.

#### Piercing Torpedo

The Piercing Torpedo is a torpedo that can pass through the shields of capital ships and damage the hull without disabling the shields first. However, it deals only half the damage of the Proton Torpedo.

### Bombs

#### Proton Bomb

The Proton Bomb is powerful ordinace available for Bomber-class ships only. It drops from the bottom of the ship, dealing sigificant damage to anything it hits. However, it has a short range.

#### Ion Bomb

The Ion Bomb is very similar to the Proton Bomb, but deals ion damage. As such, it deals high damage to shields and flagship subsystems, but low hull damage.

### Rockets

#### Rockets

Rockets, or Barrage Rockets, are dumb-fired, relatively low damage projectiles with a high rate of fire and ammo count.

#### Ion Rockets

The Ion Rockets is very similar to the standard Rockets, but deals ion damage. As such, it deals high damage to shields and flagship subsystems, but low hull damage.

### Support-based

#### Supply Droid

The Supply Droid locks on to allied starfighters, repairing their hull and resupplying their auxiliaries and countermeasures.

#### Tactical Shield

The Tactical Shield gives an overshield to freindly ships targeted.

#### Turret Mine

The Turret Mine deploys behind your starfighter and targets enemy ships within range until it is destroyed.

#### Squadron Mask

Squadron Mask makes allied starfighters disappear from enemy sensors when they are close to you.

#### Targeting Beacons

Targeting Beacons mark enemy starfighters, making them vulnerable to damage, easier to lock on to, and unable to use countermeasures.

#### Rocket Turret

The Rocket Turret is similar to the Turret Mine, but it targets enemy capital ships, Missiles, and turrets. It cannot fire on starfighters.

#### Tractor Beam

The Tractor Beam freezes targeted enemy starfighters, much like the tractor beam on Capital Ships.

### Other

The Repair Droid patches up your ship's hull, restoring a certain amount of your ship's health.

#### Repair Kit

The Repair Kit patches up your ship's hull, restoring a certain amount of your ship's health.

#### Assault Shield

The Assault Shield creates an impervious but limited shield in front of the starfighter, protecting from all incoming fire. However, it limits maneuverability and leaves the rear exposed.

#### Boost Extension Kit

The Boost Extension Kit instantly grants full boost upon activation.

#### Beam Cannon

The Beam Cannon fires a sustained, high-damage laser that needs to be charged up before firing and severly limits maneuverability while firing.

#### Seeker Mine

The Seeker Mine is a mine that is released from your starfighter and homes in on enemy starfighters that enter it's range.

#### Targeting Jammer

The Targeting Jammer removes your starfighter from enemy radar for a short time. Only available for Interceptors.

### Ship-exclusive

#### Automatic Ion Cannon

The Automatic Ion Cannon targets nearby ships when activated, disabling shields and starfighters with ionized lasers. Exclusive to the Y-wing.

#### Gyro/Aux Control Module

The Gyro/Aux Control Module is exclusive to the B-wing, and allows the player to use the ship's gyroscopic cockpit to rotate the ship's body. It also doubles the ammo count of the other auxiliary.

#### Composite Ion Beam

The Composite Ion Beam is very similar to the standard Beam Cannon, except it does massive ion damage. Exclusive to the B-wing.

#### Advanced Power System

The Advanced Power System grants overcharge to the ship system with max power. If power is equalized, all systems get a lesser overcharge. Exclusive to the TIE Defender.
