Editing Damage type (space)

:''This article is about damage in Space combat. For damage in Ground combat, see [[Damage type (ground)]]''

There are three major damage categories in [[Star Trek Online]]:
* '''[[#Energy damage|Energy damage]]''' is the set of the 8 main types of damage dealt by direct fire ranged energy weapons in space, as well as two other less-common types.
* '''[[#Kinetic damage|Kinetic damage]]''' is dealt by deployed or self-propelled explosive devices, and also by certain abilities in space.
* '''[[#Exotic damage|Exotic damage]]''' is a category of damage from sources other than weapons, such as from bridge officer abilities or console abilities. Exotic damage can be the same type as non-exotic damage; see its section below for details.

==Overview==
Damage in Star Trek Online exists in multiple, overlapping categories.
The first distinction is the '''source''' of the damage:
*  '''Weapon damage''' is caused by [[Ship weapon]]s. All weapon damage is boosted by {{skill|Starship Weapon Training}}, which you gain automatically as you level up.
** '''[[#Energy damage|Energy damage]]''' is a subset of weapon damage, caused by directed energy weapons including all Beams and Cannons. All energy damage is boosted by {{skill|Energy Weapon Training}}.
*** '''Beam damage''' is a subset of energy damage, caused by Beam Arrays, Dual Beam Banks, and Omni-Directional Beam Arrays. All beam damage is boosted by {{con|tac|Directed Energy Distribution Manifold}}s and the {{trait|Beam Training}} trait.
*** '''Cannon damage''' is a subset of energy damage, caused by Single Cannons, Dual Cannons, Quad Cannons, Dual Heavy Cannons, and Turrets. All cannon damage is boosted by {{con|tac|Prefire Chamber}}s and the {{trait|Cannon Training}} trait.
*** Several abilities and consoles cause non-beam, non-cannon energy damage, such as {{ability|Point Defense System}}.
** '''[[#Projectile damage|Projectile damage]]''' is a subset of weapon damage, caused by Torpedo and Mine weapons. All projectile damage is boosted by {{skill|Projectile Weapon Training}} and the {{trait|Projectile Training}} trait.
*** '''Torpedo damage''' is a subset of projectile damage, caused by Torpedo Launchers. All torpedo damage is boosted by {{con|tac|Warhead Yield Chamber}}s.
*** '''Mine damage''' is a subset of projectile damage, caused by Mine Launchers. All mine damage is boosted by {{con|tac|Variable Geometry Detonators}}.
*** Several abilities and consoles cause non-torpedo, non-mine projectile damage, such as {{ability|Torpedo Point Defense System}}.
* '''[[#Exotic damage|Exotic damage]]''' is that caused by most non-weapon sources, including Bridge Officer abilities, and abilities from set bonuses. All exotic damage is boosted by {{skill|Exotic Particle Generator}}.

Second, damage can be divided into multiple different attribute modifiers, or '''types'''<ref group="main">[https://www.reddit.com/r/sto/comments/4kb91n/powers_performance_update_may_16/ Attribute Set discussion on Reddit.]</ref> or "elements": [[#Phaser|Phaser]], [[#Disruptor|Disruptor]], [[#Plasma|Plasma]], [[#Tetryon|Tetryon]], [[#Polaron|Polaron]], [[#Antiproton|Antiproton]], [[#Proton|Proton]], [[#Electrical|Electrical]], [[#Kinetic|Kinetic]], [[#Physical|Physical]], [[#Radiation|Radiation]], [[#Fire|Fire]], [[#Cold|Cold]] and [[#Psionic|Psionic]]. Toxic damage can only be dealt in ground combat at this time.

Damage resistance ratings against a specific type will always reduce damage from that type, regardless of whether the source of that damage is a directed energy weapon, an ability, or even an exotic damage ability.

Third, damage can be divided into activated and attached. And fourthly, damage can be divided into direct damage, DoTs, and hazards.<ref group="main">[https://www.reddit.com/r/sto/comments/4o2g26/star_trek_online_temporal_bridge_officers/d497mzs?context=1 Discussion on Reddit with Borticus-Cryptic]</ref><ref group="main">[https://www.arcgames.com/en/forums/startrekonline/#/discussion/comment/12969246 Official Feedback Thread for Temporal Defense Initiative Reputation]</ref>
{{Nu|details=Elaboration on how DoTs are effected by the Temporal specialization tree, and making the Hazard page}}

As a large example, "Plasma" damage can refer to:
* Plasma weapon damage
** Plasma energy weapon damage, boosted by {{con|tac|Plasma Infuser}}s.
*** Plasma beam damage, caused by eg. [[Plasma Beam Array]]s.
*** Plasma cannon damage, caused by eg. [[Plasma Turret]]s.
*** Other Plasma energy damage, caused by eg. {{ability|Heavy Plasma Lance}} and {{ability|Plasma Wave}}.
** Plasma projectile damage (not to be confused with Kinetic damage caused by plasma projectiles!)
*** Plasma torpedo damage, caused by the proc on a [[Plasma Torpedo Launcher]]s.
*** Plasma mine damage, caused by the proc on [[Plasma Mine Launcher]]s.
*** Other Plasma projectile damage, caused eg. by the [[DoT]] on {{ability|Destabilized Plasma Torpedo}}
* [[#Plasma-based|Plasma-based exotic damage]]

Assorted equipment boosts damage of specific categories. [[Tactical Consoles]], Fleet [[Advanced Tactical Vulnerability Consoles]] and numerous universal consoles boost damage in various categories. A few examples
* {{con|uni|Sustained Radiant Field}} boosts all weapon damage.
* {{con|uni|Enhanced Dominion Coordination Protocol}} boosts all energy weapon damage.
* {{con|uni|Ambush Gateway Generator}} boosts all cannon weapon damage.
* {{con|uni|Plasma Warhead Module}} boosts all torpedo weapon damage.
* {{con|uni|Rule 62 Multipurpose Combat Console}} boosts all torpedo and mine damage, but not Projectile weapon damage in general.
Console descriptions and tooltips must be read carefully to determine which categories of damage they affect.

Additionally, [[Endeavor System#Perks|Endeavor Perks]] provide damage resistances based on type:
* Damage Resist Alpha: Plasma, Phaser, Proton, Psionic and Cold damage.
* Damage Resist Beta: Disruptor, Polaron, Physical, Radiation and Fire damage.
* Damage Resist Gamma: Antiproton, Tetryon, Kinetic, Electric and Toxic damage.

==Energy damage==
===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 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
{{clear}}

<br />
====Disruptor====
[[File:Romulan Disruptor.jpg|thumb|left|{{color|#5ffa32|Disruptor Energy Damage}}]]
'''{{color|#5ffa32|Disruptors}}''' are a type of directed energy used in weapons, and are green or dark green in color. Disruptors cause damage to the target by breaking, or "disrupting", the bonds of atoms. Player-acquired [[starship]]s for the Klingon Defense Force by default come with Disruptor energy weapons.

'''Proc''': 2.5% chance: -10% Damage Resistance [[Debuff]]

Note:
* {{icon2|Nausicaan Energy Torpedo Launcher||very rare|24px}} [[Nausicaan Energy Torpedo Launcher]] is boosted by Disruptor-specific consoles and {{skill|Projectile Weapon Training}} rather than energy skills.{{clear}}

====Plasma====
[[File:Plasma_damage.jpg|thumb|left|{{color|#6EFBF3|Plasma Energy Damage}}]]
'''{{color|#6EFBF3|Plasma}}''' energy beams are green/cyan in color. Player-acquired [[starship]]s for the Romulan Republic by default come with Plasma energy weapons.

'''Proc''': 2.5% chance: Applies a non-stacking [[DoT]]

====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
{{clear}}
Player abilities that deal Tetryon energy weapon damage:

* {{ability2|Antichroniton Infused Tetryon Discharge}} ([[Krenim Temporal Manipulation]] 3-piece set bonus)

====Polaron====
[[File:Comradecomo Polaron_damage.jpg|thumb|left|{{color|#990099|Polaron Energy Damage}}]]
'''{{color|#990099|Polaron}}''' are pink/purple in color. These weapons were heavily utilized by the [[Jem'Hadar]] during the {{mAlpha|Dominion War}}. Some Jem'Hadar Polaron ground weaponry can have bonus effects based on the Nanoenergy cell used.

'''Proc''': 2.5% chance: -25 power to all Subsystems

{{clear}}
Player abilities that deal Polaron energy weapon damage:
* {{ability2|Boarding Party}} (Dominion players w/ special [[Specialization: Assault Squad Officer#Boarding Party variant|Boarding Party Assault Squad Officer]])

* {{ability2|Polaron Cannon Barrage}} is boosted by Polaron-specific consoles and Projectile Weapon Training rather than energy skills.
* {{ability2|Temporal Fluctuation}} is an NPC-exclusive Polaron damage ability.


Note:

*{{icon2|Morphogenic Polaron Energy Torpedo Launcher||very rare|24px}} [[Morphogenic Polaron Energy Torpedo Launcher]] is boosted by Polaron-specific consoles and {{skill|Projectile Weapon Training}} rather than energy skills.{{clear}}

====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.

'''Proc''': +20% Critical Severity 

{{clear}}
Abilities that deal Antiproton energy weapon Damage:

* {{ability2|Chroniton Lance}} ([[Krenim Annorax Science Dreadnought]])
*{{Ability2|Aligned Shielding}} / {{Ability2|Alliance Lance}} ([[Khitomer Alliance Battlecruiser]])
*{{Ability2|Aligned Bombardment}} ([[Temer Alliance Raider]])

Note:
* {{icon2|Crystalline Energy Torpedo Launcher||rare|24px}} [[Crystalline Energy Torpedo Launcher]] is boosted by Antiproton-specific consoles and Projectile Weapon Training rather than energy skills.{{clear}}

====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:

abilities:

* [[Nukara Crystalline Resilient Shields]] 1% Chance for 140% Reflect (+50% Shield Pen)
* [[Solanae Resilient Shield Array]] 1% Chance for 33% Reflect
* [[Terran Task Force Covariant Shield Array]] 2.5% Chance for 33% Reflect (Disruptor)
* [[Ability: Distributed Targeting]] 15% -30%  Reflect
* [[Ability: Feedback Pulse]] 50- 100% Reflect (+50% Shield Pen)
* [[Ability: Haywire]] 5% Chance for 50% Reflect (Pre-Resist +100% Shield Pen)
* [[Captain Specialization#Strategist (secondary only)|Specialization: Strategist]] skill: [[Captain Specialization/Strategist skills|Counter-Offensive]] 10k Electrical damage (+50% Shield Pen)
* [[Specialization:_Deflector_Officer#Polarize_Hull_variant|Polarize Hull Doff variant]] 2%-5% Chance for 10% to 50% Reflect (+50% Shield Pen)
* [[Trait: Nanoprobe Feedback]]  10% Chance for 125% Reflect (Rank 2)
* [[Console - Universal - Advanced Engagement System]]
* [[Console - Universal - Multidimensional Wave-Function Analysis Module]] 100%- 600% Reflect (+50% Shield Pen, Kinetic only)* Due to Aux and Epg Scaling
* [[Console - Universal - Rebounding Resonant Frequencies]] (up to) 125% Reflect (+50% Shield Pen) * Due to Aux and Epg Scaling
* {{trait2|Shall We Not Revenge}} 10% to 50% Reflect (Pre-Resist,+50% Shield Pen, Disruptor)

===Protection against energy damage===
In space, Ship Shields, Engineering Consoles and the [[Skill: Starship Hull Plating|Starship Hull Plating]] Commander rank skill provide [[damage resistance|resistance]] against Energy Damage.

[[Ship Shields]] may come with one or more damage resistance modifiers, each giving 20% resistance against the damage type indicated by the suffix(es) in the item name: [Pha], [Dis], [Pla], [Pol], [Tet], [Ap].

3 types of [[Engineering Consoles#Damage resistance consoles|Armor Consoles]] provide resistance against all, or a specific subset of Energy Damage:
* '''Platings''' provide '''high''' resistance against 2 energy damage types
* '''Armors''' provide '''moderate''' resistance against 4 energy damage types
* '''Alloys''' provide '''low''' resistance against all damage types, including non-energy damage
There are also specialty Engineering consoles, such as {{con|eng|Energy Signature Dampener}}s which provide the same effect, but at a smaller magnitude.

These personal space traits will also provide some energy damage resistance:
* {{trait2|Molecular Defense Specialist}} - +10% resistance to Phaser, Disruptor and Plasma damage.
* {{trait2|Particle Defense Specialist}} - +10% resistance to Tetryon, Polaron and Antiproton damage.

====Energy types by faction & armor recommendations====
The various [[Faction]]s deal damage types specific to them both in space and ground combat. Since defensive equipment may provide resistance against only a subset of all damage types, knowing in advance what damage to expect from a given foe and using the right equipment to counter it can increase the chances of survival.

==Kinetic damage==
Kinetic damage is dealt by explosive devices of various kinds, including torpedoes launched from [[Torpedo Launcher]]s and deployable [[Deployable Devices (Space)#List of Torpedo Platforms|Torpedo Platforms]], and Mines deployed from [[Mine Launcher]]s, as well as various spatial anomalies caused by certain abilities. In addition to the Kinetic Damage, projectile weapons often have secondary effects, in some cases dealing additional Energy Damage or Exotic Damage to the target in a single hit or as a <span title="Damage over Time" style="cursor: help; border-bottom: 1px dotted #09c;">DoT</span> or <span title="Area of Effect" style="cursor: help; border-bottom: 1px dotted #09c;">AoE</span>.

The following [[Experimental Weapon]]s deal Kinetic Damage:
* {{icon2|Experimental Dual Warhead Launchers||very rare|24px|nofloat=1}} [[Experimental Dual Warhead Launchers]]
* {{icon2|Experimental Flak Shot Artillery||very rare|24px|nofloat=1}} [[Experimental Flak Shot Artillery]]
* {{icon2|Experimental Protomatter-Laced Sheller||very rare|24px|nofloat=1}} [[Experimental Protomatter-Laced Sheller]] (50% Kinetic, 50% Radiation)
* {{icon2|Experimental Railgun||very rare|24px|nofloat=1}} [[Experimental Railgun]] (has [[Console - Universal - Railgun Destabilizer Module|matching console]])
* {{icon2|Slamshot Magnetic Artillery||very rare|24px|nofloat=1}} [[Slamshot Magnetic Artillery]]

There are currently two ways to boost Kinetic damage directly, which would apply to all Kinetic Damage projectiles as well as any Kinetic Exotic Damage:
* {{icon2|Console - Universal - Deconstructive Resonance Emitter||epic|24px|nofloat=1}} [[Console - Universal - Deconstructive Resonance Emitter]]
* [[Gamma Team Synergies]] 3-piece set bonus.

Otherwise, boosting Kinetic damage would require using [[Tactical Consoles]] to boost the output of specific projectile weapons, or increasing your {{skill|Exotic Particle Generator}} skill for Kinetic Exotic Damage.

[[Engineering Consoles]] and the {{Skill|Hull Plating}} skill provide resistance against Kinetic Damage. 2 types of [[Engineering Consoles#Armor Consoles|Armor Consoles]] provide resistance against Kinetic Damage:
* '''Monotanium Alloy''' provides '''good''' resistance against Kinetic Damage but no resistance against any Energy Damage
* '''Neutronium Alloy''' provides '''medium''' resistance against Kinetic Damage and '''medium''' resistance against all Energy Damage. This is very useful when you don't know what energy damage types you will be facing. 
* The other '''Alloy''' types provide '''low''' resistance against Kinetic Damage, but also provide '''low''' resistance against all 6 Energy Damage types.

The personal space trait {{trait2|Impact Defense Specialist}} provides +10% resistance to Kinetic and Physical damage.

===Torpedo===
[[File:Photon torpedo.jpg|thumb|left|{{color|white|Photon Torpedo}}]]
[[Torpedo Launcher|Torpedoes]] are self-propelled, target tracking explosive devices (basically, homing missiles) delivering Kinetic Damage to the target, and depending on type applying other harmful effects.

There are several types of Torpedoes, which may vary in damage potential, flight speed, launch time, applicable modifiers and additional effects over the base Kinetic Damage, but regardless of type, all of them deal Kinetic Damage.
{{clear}}

====Torpedo types by faction & recommendations====
All the torpedo types below deal Kinetic damage, so refer to the above section on how to protect your ship against that. Otherwise, one must keep in mind the different attributes the torpedoes have:
* Photon torpedoes can fire more frequently than any others
* Quantum torpedoes do more damage per volley than photons
* Plasma torpedoes do less damage per volley than photons, but leave behind a plasma burn DoT; consider running {{ability|Hazard Emitters}} to cleanse it. High Yield Plasma torpedoes are destructible (excluding 23rd century ones); Consider {{ability|Beam Array: Fire at Will}}, {{ability|Cannon: Scatter Volley}}, {{ability|Tractor Beam Repulsors}}, or a {{ability|Point Defense System}} to counter them.
* Transphasic torpedoes will partially bypass your shields
* Chroniton torpedoes can reduce your flight speed and turn rate
* Tricobalt devices will temporarily disable you, but are always destructible.

<references group="P" />

===Mine===
[[Mine Launcher|Mines]] are stationary, proximity activated target tracking explosive devices delivering Kinetic Damage to the target, and depending on type applying other harmful effects. The main difference between Mines and Torpedoes is that while Torpedoes actively pursue the designated target from the moment of launch, Mines sit still until a hostile ship comes within 4km proximity, then they pursue the target and detonate on impact.

Mines come in the same types as Torpedoes, with the same effects in addition to the Kinetic Damage they all deal.

==Other damage types==
The following damage types are not considered Energy or belong to any other category. They may act as [[#Exotic damage|Exotic damage]] depending on the source of the damage.
===Fire===
Previously only available in ground combat, there are now several sources of Fire damage in space:
* {{icon2|Console - Tactical - Fek'ihri Torment Engine||rare|24px|nofloat=1}} {{item|Console - Tactical - Fek'ihri Torment Engine||rare}} increases Fire damage.
* {{icon2|Phlogiston Projector||very rare|24px|nofloat=1}} [[Phlogiston Projector]] is an [[Experimental Weapon]] that deals Fire damage in space.
* {{ability2|Chains of Fire}}, from the {{con|uni|Chains of Fire}} universal console, deals shield-ignoring exotic Fire damage. The console itself also boosts fire damage.
* {{ability2|Into the Maw}}, from the {{con|uni|Open the Maw of Grethor}} universal console, deals shield-ignoring exotic Fire damage. The console itself also boosts fire damage.
* {{ability2|Fiery Charge}}, from the {{con|uni|Fiery Charge}} universal console, deals shield-ignoring exotic Fire damage. The console itself also boosts fire damage.
* {{traiticon|Maw of Gre'thor|24px}} {{trait|Maw of Gre'thor}}, a starship trait, deals exotic Fire damage.
* {{traiticon|Fiery Entrance|24px}} {{trait|Fiery Entrance}}, a starship trait, deals exotic Fire damage.
* {{traiticon|Gre'thor's Fire|24px}} {{trait|Gre'thor's Fire}}, a starship trait, deals exotic Fire damage.
Aside from that, one must rely on All Damage boosts to increase your fire damage in space.

===Cold===
Another damage type previously only available in ground combat, the {{trait2|Out of Time}} is an [[Starship Trait]] that deals Cold damage to self in space. The only way to boost Cold damage in space directly is with:
* {{icon2|Console - Universal - Parasitic Ice Containment Vessel||very rare|24px|}} [[Console - Universal - Parasitic Ice Containment Vessel]] 

All other means must rely on All Damage boosts.

===Psionic===
Yet another damage type previously only available in ground combat, Psionic damage can now be dealt by [[Console - Universal - Rebounding Resonant Frequencies]] {{ability2|Rebounding Resonant Frequencies}}. This is a damage reflection ability, so the damage cannot be boosted or critically hit, but it nevertheless deals Psionic damage to the enemy.

===Radiation===
In space, much like Plasma and Proton damage, Radiation comes in both Exotic and non-Exotic types. Only Exotic Radiation is boosted by {{skill|Exotic Particle Generator}}s.
Specific Radiation Damage resistance in space can be found on:
* {{icon2|Console - Universal - Momentum Manipulator||epic|24px|nofloat=1}} {{item|Console - Universal - Momentum Manipulator||epic}}, equipable on [[Tzenkethi]] starships
* {{icon2|Lukari Restoration Initiative Deflector Array||very rare|24px|nofloat=1}} {{item|Lukari Restoration Initiative Deflector Array||very rare}}
* {{icon2|Nukara Crystalline Resilient Shields||very rare|24px|nofloat=1}} {{item|Nukara Crystalline Resilient Shields||very rare}}
* {{icon2|Dielectric Oscillation Resilient Shields||ultra rare|24px|nofloat=1}} {{item|Dielectric Oscillation Resilient Shields|[Rad]|ultra rare}} at {{ultra rare}} quality
* '''Enhanced Hull Plating''', a [[Starship Mastery]] passive found on [[Cruiser]]s, [[Battle Cruiser]]s, Dreadnought Cruisers, Warbird Battlecruisers, Flight-Deck Cruisers, and Engineering Carriers.
Other Radiation-related factors:
* {{trait2|Reconstructive Radiation}}, a space [[trait]] that repairs hull and removes Damage-over-time effects when receiving Radiation damage

==Exotic damage==
A specialty "catch all" term used to describe damage caused by certain '''non-weapon''' (i.e not caused by Beams, Cannons, Torpedoes or Mines) consoles/abilities or damage-causing Science bridge officer abilities. These are abilities boosted by {{Skill|Exotic Particle Generator}} skill, and their potency affected by the ship's [[Starship (Power and Subsystems)#Auxiliary|Auxiliary power]] level. A common feature of Exotic damage is (though not always) 50% - 100% shield penetrating Kinetic Damage. However, this form of non-weapon damage can be seen in Electrical as well as Physical and Proton damage in space.

These damage types may be inflicted by explosives or abilities during ground combat, or certain player of Bridge Officer abilities during space combat.

===Physical===
In space, the [[Kar'Fi Battle Carrier (Mob)|Kar'Fi Battleships]] of the [[Fek'Ihri Horde]] launch [[Tortured Soul (space)|Tortured Souls]] that do Physical damage, the [[Crystalline Entity]] spawns fragments which do Physical damage, and The Sphere Builders utilize Temporal abilities dealing Physical damage, making these the exceptions to the "only in ground combat" norm for this type of damage from NPCs. Most forms of Physical Damage are ''Shield Ignoring''

* {{trait2|Anti-Time Entanglement Singularity}}, a space reputation trait
* {{ability2|Causal Anchor}}, a universal console ability from the [[31st Century Temporal Technologies Set]]

===Antiproton-based===
* {{ability2|Temporal Distortion Field|Romulan}}

===Proton-based===
In space, Proton ''exotic'' damage is boosted by the {{skill|Exotic Particle Generator}} skill instead of weapon skills as usual, and is still also boosted by things that specifically boost Proton damage. As Proton is a form of Energy damage, it will also be boosted by and resisted by All Energy Damage [resistance] sources. There are currently three sources of exotic Proton damage:
* {{icon2|Console - Science - Shield Refrequencer||rare|24px|nofloat=1}}{{con|sci|Shield Refrequencer}}
* {{icon2|Console - Universal - Refracting Energy Shunt||epic|24px|nofloat=1}} {{ability2|Refracting Energy Shunt}}
* {{icon2|Console - Universal - Tholian Web Generator||epic|24px|nofloat=1}} {{ability2|Tholian Web}}, both colliding with the edge or being inside one when it collapses.

===Electrical-based===
Despite being a type of energy damage, the majority of Electrical damage-dealing abilities are classified as exotic damage. For the purposes of damage resistance/immunity, Electrical is nevertheless considered to be a form of energy damage. Sources of Electrical damage on the include:
* Bridge Officer abilities:
