Star Survivor Lexicon

By BlackjackGT

Quick glossary explaining key words and terminology in Star Survivor. Arranged in alphabetical order.

If descriptions are based on a dev or player explaining something on the Discord channel, I've included attribution in parentheses.

Only a few entries to start with. Will add more as I scrounge up more information. I created this for the Prologue demo, and have copied over the little bit of content to here on the full game's community guides page.

Gunships (exclusive to Hornet/fleet carrier ship)

Standard fighters carry an auto turret; the gunships that come from the carrier has a burst turret instead (from dev Cmdr Ken on Discord). You get 3 gunships at the start of your run or campaign.

Hate (rating on each hex/map in Campaign)

Increased difficulty (+enemy hp) caused by killing alien bugs (from dev Cmdr Ken on Discord)
Red bar is "hate meter", if you defeat enough enemies of a wave to fill it up then you get the % credit bonus and future enemies get more HP (from Kirtash22 on DIscord)

Ion Explosions

[per gbfiremoth Dec 21, 2023, in comments section of this guide :-)]
The in game tutorial page 7/9

"Ion weapons slows/stuns enemies"

"Burn weapons damages enemies over time and can spread."

"Combined burned and stunned enemies violently explode."

^ that's an ion explosion

Tags/Tagging (enabled by ship equipment)

Serves as trigger for other weapons and can be used to make destroying tagged enemies earn more xp (from Kirtash22 on Discord).

Triggers (ship equipment Upgrade)

Triggers have a chance to activate when the required condition occurs. It is independent from the normal fire rate. There can only occur 4 triggers in a second for each equipment (from Kirtash22 on Discord)

What is overload? I've only seen it once. Does it just damage the ship or is there something else to it?

Thanks, game needs to do a better job to explain things...
Now what is considered an ion explosion?

"There can only occur 4 triggers in a second for each equipment..."

Curious, so what happens when you have two equipment cards and with eight triggers? I'm guessing the stack is comprised of all triggers in the deck, only using 4 triggers at a time.

...Still...good information for min/max ideas, I think.
