Appendix G2: Enemy Ships & Weaponry

Enemy Ships

With every wave cleared, Enemy Ship health increases by a factor of 0.005.

Unlike Phoenix 2, a wave can only contain one type of Enemy Ship. However, if the timer for the current wave expires, the next wave will arrive regardless, which may cause different Enemy Ship types to be on field at the same time.

Here is the probability matrix of the next wave of Enemy Ships based on the previous wave of Enemy Ships. Each row adds up to exactly 1, which fulfills the law that the probabilities of all possible mutually exclusive outcomes must add up to 1.

• For example, you can determine that the probability that a wave of a Brute appearing after a wave of Marauders is 0.15 based on the table below.

Enemy Bullets & Turrets

Bullets in Phoenix HD behave very differently.

• With the exception of bullets from Scouts , destroying a turret eliminates all bullets fired by the destroyed turret, which are converted into bonus score .
• Turrets in Phoenix HD have very different firing patterns.
• Enemy Ships do NOT have Doomsday Weapons (so no Super MIRVs too).
• Enemy Ships also don't have lasers.
