Do pilums have ammo?
« on: June 17, 2023, 04:26:09 PM »

I tried search before making another thread but couldn't find a clear answer. I've played for years and it occurred to me i still don't know how they work haha. I'm making a venture/apogee fleet to go exploring and i've been using pilums but i was looking at the description and it says max ammo 30? I normally had abuncha officers with missile spec to improve my ammo count but i want to run different load outs mostly reducing the cool down on fast missile racks and missile autoforge since they're more friendly for moving officers to other ships.

I'm worried that my infinite ammo pilum spam might run out of ammo during long drawn out engagements especially if i have officers spamming fast missile racks on ventures. I'd rather find this out before i spend millions on outfitting my fleet haha.

They have ammo, but the ammo regenerates. They never fully run out but their rate of fire slows down once they use up their stored charges.
