Class LowerEnergyScoopCommand

java.lang.Object

ihs.apcs.spacebattle.commands.ShipCommand

ihs.apcs.spacebattle.commands.LowerEnergyScoopCommand

public class LowerEnergyScoopCommand
extends ShipCommand

The LowerEnergyScoopCommand deploys an energy collector under your ship.

If flying through a celestial body (like a Sun or Nebula), this scoop will collect a massive amount of energy. It will additionally cause some drag.

If not in an energy source, this command will drain energy quickly.

It can be run for a 'short period' of 3 seconds or a 'long period' of 6 seconds. A long period will restore almost all energy from the initial requirements to start this command (4).

Scooping is a non-blocking operation.
