TES
The abbreviation TES stands for Tactical, Engineering, Science. These are the three basic attributes that every object in the Outspace universe has – starting with the crew, through modules, weapons, monsters, and even space debris. The value is expressed as a large number and in most cases is added up. The value can also be negative.
Meaning
[T] (Tactical)
The Tactical modifier, marked in red, determines combat properties. It influences accuracy, inflicted damage, defense, the ability to dodge, or cover.
[E] (Engineering)
The Engineering value, marked in blue, determines the ability or difficulty of working with technical equipment. For example, production in a factory will require a high [E] value, as well as the ability to quickly reload a weapon. In the case of a ship module, a minimum [E] value may be set as a restriction for using the technology, as well as a maximum value that can be applied within the module.
[S] (Science)
The Science modifier, marked in green, applies mainly to research, medicine, or the operation of scientific equipment.
Usage
Example: the calculation of accuracy and damage on hit depends on the crew’s [T] Ship Weapons.
Ship modules have their TES values, and their sums determine certain properties of the ship.
