[Updated to Alpha 5]
Special Features
Duranium Armor
All Core units and structures possess atleast rudimentary self repair ability, and their mobile construction units self repair at a doubled rate compared to the other factions. Furthermore, armor of some high-end Core units is capable of adapting to the enemy fire, reducing damage taken from consecutive hits. All this comes at a cost though; every damaged unit will automatically consume energy for repairs, even if they are in a situation where they could never hope to repair enough for it to make any difference.
Plasma Shields
Many high-end Core units and structures, including their Commander, are equipped with plasma shields. These generate an energized nanite mesh around the unit which can reliably block any occasional single projectiles time after time, significantly reducing the damage taken.
Laser Weapons
Large portion of Core units are equipped with powerful and highly focused laser weapons. Even the lightest of variants have notable armor piercing capability, which translates to basic Core units being very reliable in combat.

Unit Attributes
Cost – The total amount of metal and energy required to build the unit. The metal per second, energy per second, and time required by each constructor to build that unit are shown in parenthesis.
Durability – The total amount of damage the unit can withstand before destruction.
Armor Class – The level of armor the unit possesses, from 1-10. Armor reduces the damage taken from weapons of lower penetration rating.
Self Repair – The amount of damage on itself the unit can repair per second on average.
Shield Reactivation – The shield reactivation delay of the unit, measured in seconds. See "Plasma Shields In Detail" below.
Top Speed – The maximum speed of the unit, measured in pixels per tic.
Build Power – The speed at which the constructor can build or build-assist, relative to a T1 ground construction unit. Constructors with higher build power consume the same resource cost at a faster rate.
Sight – The line of sight radius of the unit, measured in pixels.
Radar – The radar coverage radius of the unit, measured in pixels.
Sonar – The sonar coverage radius of the unit, measured in pixels.
Weapon Attributes
Damage – The amount of base damage the weapon inflicts with each individual projectile, subject to various modifiers.
Reload – The reload time of a weapon, measured in seconds.
Range – The maximum range of a weapon, measured in pixels.
AoE (Area of Effect) – The diameter of damage area of each of the weapon's projectiles, measured in pixels. The damage inflicted at the outer edge of the area of effect is less than at the center.
Penetration – The penetration level of a weapon, from 1-10. A weapon does full damage to targets with armor class equal to or below its penetration level and progressively less damage to targets with higher armor classes.
Weapon Special Attributes
Rapid-Fire – These weapons are more effective against light units. They inflict +10% damage against targets with a lower armor class than the weapon's penetration or -10% damage if the armor class is higher than weapon penetration. In addition, they always inflict +15% damage against armor class 1 units, +10% against armor class 2 units, and +5% against armor class 3 units.
Siege – These weapons inflict +25% damage against buildings.
Anti-X – These weapons inflict varying amounts of extra damage against the specified category of units, usually +10% or +20% but in some cases as high as +50%.
Hyper-Sonance – Special ability of Core's pulse weapons. Inflicts +15% damage against armor class 1 units, +10% against armor class 2 units, and +5% against armor class 3 units.
Plasma Shields In Detail
Plasma shield reduces damage taken from a single weapon impact by 50% and will then have to recharge for what is typically 2 seconds before reactivation. Therefore plasma shields are not particularly useful against rapidly firing light weapons, but will reliably block any occasional hits from heavy weapons time after time.
Extended plasma shields of fixed Tier 2 shield generators work with the very same principle as the personal plasma shields of other Core units, but there are some differences. Since the projectiles are intercepted further away, the shield generator will take no damage at all. Weapons with a large area of effect can still potentially reach other units within the shield's perimeter. Shield generators require the perimeter of their shield to be clear of other units and will be unable to activate if any are in the way. They can also be troublesome to build on some maps due to their huge footprint size.
