Plasma Capsule

Plasma Capsule is a late-game anti-space ammunition used by Icarus and Plasma Turret. It is unlocked near the end of the tech progression and serves as a more advanced alternative to Missile Set, trading the same general role for higher damage at a lower cost. Because of that efficiency, it is worth establishing production and stockpiles before enemy pressure grows beyond what missiles can comfortably handle.

In practice, Plasma Capsule is the standard ammo for dealing with large-scale aerial and spaceborne threats. Its combination of strong firepower and favorable material cost makes it better suited than Missile Set for sustained defense against heavier raids. Once available, it should be incorporated into your supply chain so that both personal armaments and turret defenses can be kept supplied without relying on missiles as the main solution.

It can also be fitted to SR Plasma Turret for ground defense, although this use case offers little advantage compared with its primary applications. For detailed performance values, the Plasma Turret and Icarus ammo slot entries provide the relevant firing and capacity information.

• Unlocked late in the game as anti-space ammunition.
• Cheaper and stronger than Missile Set.
• Best prepared in advance, before raids become too large for missiles alone.
• Usable in SR Plasma Turret for ground defense, but this is generally not the most efficient use.
