Energy
What they cost
Each ability is a toggle: press once to turn it on, again to turn it off. While on they drain energy continuously. If you run out they switch off automatically. Your abilities depend on the ship you choose and the game type's ship settings.
Stealth
Disappear on radar
Press Home to enable stealth. Enemies stop seeing you on their radar. It never hides you from your own team.
Cloak
Vanish from their screens
Press Shift + Home to enable cloak. Your ship is now invisible to enemies, but your radar dot is still visible unless you are also running stealth. Teammates see you either way. Firing switches cloak off, as does using a repel, burst, thor or decoy, and you have to turn it back on yourself.
X-radar
Reveal enemies
Press End to enable X-radar. Cancels out the effects of enemy ships using cloak or stealth.
Antiwarp
Trap nearby enemies
Press Shift + End to enable antiwarp. Enemies near you cannot warp, drop or use a portal, or attach to a teammate.
