General "formula" of a ship syntax:

Action,fleet(own or enemy),number of affected ships,class of affected ships,affected shiptypes,message shown in battle report,"n"/"p"

After you chose an action that should happen you have to give more details (only exception: if you use "f"(=fight)): Fleet: To chose the affected fleet you can use "self"(=your own fleet), "enemy"(=enemy fleet) or "both"(=both fleets)

Number of affected ships: Just type the number or "all"(=all ships)

Class of affected ships: You have to tell the class of the ships you want to affect. You can use "1"(=class 1), "2"(=class 2), "3"(=class 3), "4"(=class 4), "all"(=all classes), "this"(=the class your ship fights against)

Affected shiptype: Type in the name of the affected ships or type "all"(=any ship you fight against) or "itself"(=the fighting ship)

Message shown in battle report: The message will normally be shown in the battle report like this: "(your message) ... ships"

"n"/"p": At the end of each modifier there is a text that is shown in the battlereport. If there is a ",n" at the end then the text is NOT followed by the number of ships that were successfully affected (destroyed, shielded, reconstructed...). If there is a ",p" at the end then there follows a second text that is shown each time, also if there was no succsess. (there can also be ",pn" or ",np" which means both)

actions: If you have several actions, you have to seperate them with a | ("Alt Gr" + "<")

________________________________________________________________________
at the end of each modifier there is a text that is shown in the battlereport. if there is a ",n" at the end then the text is NOT followed by the number of ships that were successfully affected (destroyed, shielded, reconstructed...).
if there is a ",p" at the end then there follows a second text that is shown each time, also if there was no succsess.
(there can also be ",pn" or ",np" which means both)

the first element always states the action (f, create, steal...)
a modifier can have several statements which happen in the given order. here are some examples of the existing ships:

'mod'

modify ships AP and/or LP by either a multiplikation (*) or an addition (substraction) of the AP and LP. this can also destroy ships.

addition/subtraction: +,added ap,added lp
example: modifies following ships by (+2/-1)
syntax: ...,+,2,-1,...

multiplication: *,multiplied ap, multiplied lp
example: modifies following ships by (*2/*1)
syntax: ...,*,2,1,...

Example:

◈Cru▷ cruiser

f|mod,enemy,1,this,40,+,0,-10,torpedo-interception detected,n

fights
(battle engine syntax: f)
modifies AP/LP by 0/-10 of 1 torpedo in the enemy fleet in the same class
battlemessage: "torpedo-interception detected"
(battle engine syntax: mod,enemy,1,this,torpedo,+,0,-10,torpedo-interception detected,n)

50 ships use this modifyer

'create'

(=add)
creates one or more other ships (like missiles, battle drones but could also create fighters or sth. like that) and these ships appear in the specified class immediately with all their abilities

Example:

◈ClC▷ cluster-cruiser

add,self,10,this,15,cluster-cruiser deployes|sd

creates 10 battle-drones in your own fleet in the same class like this ship
battlemessage: "cluster-cruiser deployes ... ships"
(battle engine syntax: create,self,10,this,battle-drone,cluster-cruiser deployes)
self destructs!
(battle engine syntax: sd)

21 ships use this modifyer

'reconst'

Reconstructs a ship. Reconstuction is only possible if a ship has 0 LP left. the last number (1) could be more, then it would reconstruct ships that have so much less than 0 LP.

Example:

◈Dom▷ dominator

f|jam,enemy,2,this,dominator |reconst,enemy,10,2,all,10,time-anomaly causes the return of

fights
(battle engine syntax: f)
jams 2 ships in the enemy fleet in the class it fights with and you get back the initiative
battlemessage: "dominator jams ... ships"
(battle engine syntax: jam,enemy,2,this,dominator )
reconstructs 10 ships of any ship-type in the enemy fleet in class 2 (technical LP +10 to ships that have less than 1 LP)
battlemessage: "time-anomaly causes the return of ... ships"
(battle engine syntax: reconst,enemy,10,2,all,10,time-anomaly causes the return of )

7 ships use this modifyer

'shield'

moves the targetcounter of the enemy to your next ship (if all your ships are shielded or destroyed your shielded ships will not reappear for the next classbattle)

Example:

◈SGn▷ shield generator

shield,1,shield generated
tries to generate a shield around one ship in your fleet in the same class it is fighting
battlemessage: "shield generated"
(battle engine syntax: shield,1,shield generated)
2 ships use this modifyer

'wreck'

(=destroy)
destroys a ship and leaves it with 0 LP. (it is still reconstructable this way)

(battle engine syntax: trigger_hit@repair,self,all,unit repaired,n@mod,self,1,this,all,+,0,-0.4,richochet destroy)

3 ships use this modifyer

'shuffle'

this function shuffles the battleorder of the selected class in the selected fleet, so the ships that did not shoot jet are organized in a new random order. Note: this is only useful, if you have created ships and you want to change the battle order that way, that they do not shoot all in one row. Or if this ship is modifying ships and you want to assure, that there is another ship modified every time and not only one ship all the time.

This also is a solution tor the problem, that ships always are created directly after the creating ship (or at the start of class 2), so without shuffle the new ships shoot next (for example the warcruiser creates a torpedo and the torpedo shoots next). Also the mine deployer needs this because otherwise all mines would explode in one row and just destroy each other. With shuffle it modifies a random ships each time

Example:

◈CCM▷ c-cannon-module

mod,self,1,3,17,+,70,0,c-cannon-module is mounted on|shuffle,self,3

modifies AP/LP by +70/0 of 1 c-cannon-platform in your own fleet in class 3
battlemessage: "c-cannon-module is mounted on ... ships"

this adds a trigger to the ship, that causes an action you can define later, that would happen right after the ship was modified (both + and -)

Example:

◈Eor▷ evaporator

f|trigger_plus@kill,enemy,1,this,all,evaporator destroys|trigger_destroy@kill,enemy,1,this,all,evaporator destroys

fights
(battle engine syntax: f)
if this ships LP or AP are increased or decreased it modifies LP by -5000 of 1 ship of any ship-type in the enemy fleet in the same class but some ships and buildings are immune against this effect
battlemessage: "evaporator destroys ... ships"
(battle engine syntax: trigger_plus@kill,enemy,1,this,all,evaporator destroys)
if this ship gets destroyed by a 'destroy' effect it modifies LP by -5000 of 1 ship of any ship-type in the enemy fleet in the same class but some ships and buildings are immune against this effect
battlemessage: "evaporator destroys ... ships"
(battle engine syntax: trigger_destroy@kill,enemy,1,this,all,evaporator destroys)

'trigger_multiply'

this adds a trigger to the ship, that causes an action you can define later, that would happen right after the ship was modified by any factor

fights
(battle engine syntax: f)
if this ships LP or AP are increased or decreased it jams 4 ships in the enemy fleet in class 3 and you get back the initiative

no ships use this modifyer

'event'

'select'
here is an example how the 'select' would work:

titanium destroyer:
this is a forgotten modified destroyer. built in the hotphase of the humans by the e-ray, it was used to defend their borders. it was given it a extra strong titan coating which gave the defender more endurance and made it impossible to jam in battle. sadly the coating gives the ship more weight which makes it an easy target for class 1 and class 3 ships.

f|select,shipclass,equal,2|destroy,self,500,2,itself

fights
(battle engine syntax: f)
battle engine syntax: select,shipclass,equal,2
reduces LP to 0 of itself in your own fleet in class 2 but some ships are immune against destruction
(battle engine syntax: destroy,self,500,2,itself)

additionally there is a trigger modifier:

triggered events:
These are actions that happen if another event happened, for example a ship that explodes if it is jammed, or it gets +1/+1 if it is reconstructed, or it destroys two enemy ships if it is destroyed.....

Possible events:
trigger_jam if this ship is jammed
trigger_rec if this ship is reconstructed
trigger_plus if this ships LP or AP are increased or decreased
trigger_blast if this ship is hit by a blast-ship
trigger_hit if this ship is hit
trigger_destruction if this ship gets destroyed
trigger_multiply if this ships LP or AP get multiplied

the triggered effects are added for example like this:
f|trigger_jam@mod,enemy,2,this,all,+,0,-1100
this ship would destroy two enemy ships if it gets jammed
