====== Spirit Ship ======
{{  unit_spirit_ship.png  }}

The Spirit Ship, through the use of its drone called the Spirit is able to deliver damage to any area in the level without limit. It can be used to deal supporting damage to creeper or to damage and cut digitalis paths.

===== Unit Stats =====
  * Requires 115.4 Energy to construct.
  * Fits in a box of 32 by 14 terrain pixels.
  * Equipped with:
    * 1x Spirit Launcher

===== Tutorial =====
Before the Spirit Ship can be used, the player must designate a path for the Spirit drone to travel along and deal damage in. To do this, hold the Use key (default: E) while the Spirit ship is selected, then using the mouse cursor, hold left click to drag a path. You can repeat this action to erase the previous path and draw another path.

The Spirit drone will launch as soon as the Spirit Ship's ammunition storage reaches maximum, and will automatically return to the ship when the Spirit's ammunition storage is depleted.

You can change the behavior of the Spirit drone using the UI panel in top left while the Spirit Ship is selected.\\

The BOMB setting has two modes:
  * Bounce - The Spirit drone will travel along the drawn path, then upon reaching the end of the path it will travel backwards along the drawn path until the beginning and then it will repeat this movement.
  * Loop - The Spirit drone will travel along the drawn path, then upon reaching the end of the path it will travel back to the beginning of the path using the shortest route and then it will repeat this movement.

The LAUNCH setting can be used to determine whether or not the Spirit drone should launch automatically when the ship's ammunition is full (AUTO), or if the drone is to be released manually by the player (MANUAL).

The RECALL button will force a currently deployed Spirit drone to go back to the ship.

The LAUNCH button will manually launch the drone, but only if the ship's ammunition is filled.

The small Cancel button in the bottom right will clear the currently drawn path, also forcing the Spirit ship to return if it is deployed.

===== Unit Usage =====
The Spirit Ship is an excellent supporting ship that can deal damage to the creeper from anywhere, and also fills a major supporting role in cutting off digitalis routes, if digitalis is present.
