Editing Damage type (space) (section)

===Types===
Energy damage is a set of eight damage types&mdash;[[#Phaser|Phaser]], [[#Disruptor|Disruptor]], [[#Plasma|Plasma]], [[#Tetryon|Tetryon]], [[#Polaron|Polaron]], [[#Antiproton|Antiproton]], [[#Proton|Proton]] and [[#Electrical|Electrical]]&mdash;that are mostly commonly dealt by [[Ship Weapon|directed energy weapons]]. 

Each different energy damage type has a bonus effect, known as a ''[[proc]]''. Most weapons come with one of these bonuses, while some rarer weapons may contain multiple, or a special one replacing the standard proc.

Directed Energy Weapons, such as Beams and Cannons, use Energy Damage. Deployable [[Ship Device#Deployable devices|Ship Devices]] such as Satellite Turrets also deal Energy Damage based on the type of weapon it carries.

There are tactical advantages to using a single energy damage type primarily due to [[console]]s giving a greater bonus by energy type (e.g. phasers) than by weapon type (e.g. beam arrays). However, some players prefer to use a wide variety of damage types in the hopes of scoring multiple ''proc'' hits.

====Phaser====
[[File:Karamumishita Phaser_damage.jpg|thumb|left|{{color|orange|Phaser Energy Damage}}]]
'''{{color|orange|Phaser}}''' damage is displayed as orange in color, or sometimes pale yellow. The Andorian and TOS retro versions are a blue color. The term "phaser" is an acronym for '''Phas'''ed '''E'''nergy '''R'''ectification. A type of particle weapon, phasers damage targets with streams of nadions. Against living targets, this can be set to either lethal or non-lethal effect, depending on the power of the stream. Player-acquired [[starship]]s for the Federation by default come with Phaser energy weapons.

'''Proc''': 2.5% chance: Disable 1 Subsystem for 5 seconds

====Tetryon====
[[File:ComrademocoTetryon Damage.jpg|thumb|left|{{color|#2898f0|Tetryon Energy Damage}}]]
'''{{color|#2898f0|Tetryon}}''' energy beams are blue in color. Tetryons are subatomic particles that exist outside of normal space. When brought into normal space from subspace (artificially or naturally) they become highly unstable.

'''Proc''': 2.5% chance: additional damage to all shield facings

====Antiproton====
[[File:Comrademoco Antiproton damage.jpg|thumb|left|{{color|red|Antiproton Energy Damage}}]]
'''{{color|red|Antiprotons}}''', when confined into a beam, are normally crimson with a black void border. Up close, the energy looks a lot more unstable, similar to Plasma and Tetryon energy. [[Undine]] antiproton weapons are pale yellow in color.

====Proton====
[[File:Solanae Advanced Technologies Proton Destabiliser Module.jpg|thumb|left|{{color|#B0C4DE|Proton Energy Damage}}]]
'''{{color|#B0C4DE|Protons}}''', are whitish-blue in color. This rare and experimental weapon type fires a concentrated stream of proton particles at its target dealing moderate damage over time. This weapon is equally effective against starship shields and hull. Should a Proton Weapon land a critical hit, it has a 50/50 chance of dealing additional proton damage that completely bypasses the target's shields.

'''Proc''': 50% chance: on critical: Additional Proton Damage (Ignores Shields)
{{clear}}
See the [[#Proton-based|Proton-based exotic damage]] section below for player-usable exotic Proton sources. As for non-exotic sources:

Proton weapon damage, boosted by {{skill|Starship Weapons Training}}, includes:
* {{icon2|Experimental Proton Charge||very rare|24px|nofloat=1}} {{item|Experimental Proton Charge||very rare}}

* Proton '''energy''' damage, boosted by {{skill|Energy Weapon Training}}, includes:
** {{icon2|Dyson Proton Weapon||very rare|24px|nofloat=1}} {{item|Dyson Proton Weapon||very rare}}
** {{icon2|Solanae Dual Heavy Proton Cannons||very rare|24px|nofloat=1}} {{item|Solanae Dual Heavy Proton Cannons||very rare}}
** {{icon2|Protonic Polaron Beam Array||very rare|24px|nofloat=1}} {{icon2|Dual Protonic Polaron Beam Bank||very rare|24px|nofloat=1}} {{icon2|Protonic Polaron Turret||very rare|24px|nofloat=1}} {{icon2|Protonic Polaron Cannon||very rare|24px|nofloat=1}} {{icon2|Protonic Polaron Dual Cannons||very rare|24px|nofloat=1}} {{icon2|Protonic Polaron Dual Heavy Cannons||very rare|24px|nofloat=1}} Protonic Polaron space weapons from the [[Dyson Joint Command Reputation Store]]
** {{ability2|Shield Inversion}} and {{ability2|Destabilized Proton Beam}} abilities from the [[Solanae Advanced Technologies]] set
** {{trait2|Point Defense Protocols}}, a starship [[trait]]
*Proton '''projectile''' damage, boosted by {{skill|Projectile Weapon Training}}, includes:
** {{ability2|Launch Proton Charges}}, a universal console ability

Lastly, these abilities deal Proton damage that scales with your Auxiliary Power, but isn't classified as weapon or exotic damage:
* {{ability2|Proton Barrage}}, an ability from the [[Dyson Joint Command Technologies]] three-piece set bonus

Things that affect '''non'''-exotic Proton damage:
* Proton damage from any source is boosted by {{iconlink|Console - Tactical - Auto Targeting Module Mk XII|24px|rare}} {{con|tac|Auto Targeting Module}}s and the {{iconlink|Console - Universal - Proton Particle Stabilizer|24px|very rare}} {{con|uni|Proton Particle Stabilizer}} from the Dyson Reputation System.
** The two-piece set bonus from the [[Solanae Advanced Technologies]] set also boosts Proton weapon damage (including {{ability|Launch Proton Charges}}), but ''not'' the damage caused by {{ability|Destabilized Proton Beam}}, {{ability|Proton Barrage}}, or {{ability|Shield Inversion}}.
* Proton resistance is provided by {{iconlink|Console - Engineering - Energy Signature Dampener Mk XII|24px|rare}} {{con|eng|Energy Signature Dampener}}s, while using the {{iconlink|Subspace Field Modulator|24px|rare}} {{item|Subspace Field Modulator||rare}} will give -400 Proton damage resistance, much like the [[Ophidian Cane]] on the ground. Since Proton is a form of energy damage, the most common protection against it is in the form of All Energy Damage resistance or All Damage resistance ratings, such as from {{con|eng|Neutronium Alloy}}. {{ability2|Protonic Shielding}} does '''''not''''' affect your Proton damage resistance.

Finally, damage reflected by the {{skill|Shield Reflection}} skill is dealt as Proton damage, though it cannot be boosted by any means. It is simply 20% of the reflected critical hit's damage.

====Electrical====
[[File:Isometric Dispersal Array Blast.png|thumb|left|{{color|#c4b0de|Electrical Energy Damage}}]]
Some weapons and abilities fire a stream of electricity at their target. There is not yet a consistent proc associated with Electrical damage, and indeed, the majority of it is dealt as [[#Electrical-based|Electrical-based Exotic Damage]].

Electrical '''energy''' damage, boosted by {{skill|Energy Weapon Training}}, include:
* {{icon2|Experimental Hyperexcited Ion Stream Projector||very rare|24px|nofloat=1}} {{item|Experimental Hyperexcited Ion Stream Projector||very rare}}, an [[Experimental Weapon]]
* {{icon2|Field-Distortion Overcharge Pulse||very rare|24px|nofloat=1}} {{item|Field-Distortion Overcharge Pulse||very rare}}, another Experimental Weapon
* {{icon2|Soliton Wave Impeller||very rare|24px|nofloat=1}} {{item|Soliton Wave Impeller||very rare}}

Protection against Electrical damage: Currently the only protection available is via All Energy Damage Resistance and All Energy Resistance ratings. No items provide specific electrical damage resistance. The Electrical self-damage caused by {{ability|Energy Weapons: Exceed Rated Limits}} cannot be resisted. {{clrl}}

====FeedbackPulse====
[[File:Feedback_pulse_beam.jpg|thumb|left|{{color|#C4B0DE|FeedbackPulse}}]]FeedbackPulse is an ability that is used to reflect Incoming damage. Below are various forms of Feedback abilities; they deal the same type of damage they are reflecting (unless otherwise specified). Feedback abilites Cannot Critically Hit:
