 The mode ('b') key can set auto, preset, target distance, heat or manual Sapper modes. In auto mode Sapper switches back to Sniper either if the weapon is too hot or the active target is too far for the Sapper. It is activated again if cooled down (needs only a few seconds) or you run near to the target. Sappers revert to Sniper Guns when the alert condition changes to green or docked.

-Sapper is a Sniper Gun in overdrive mode: deliver 5x more damage at point blank range than at max. range but use 5x energy and make double heat. The 5x hit is within 500m, 2x at 2km, 1x at 20km.

 === Anti-Sapper Equipment ===
-Limit the point-blank damage caused by Sapper weapons to 2x instead of 5x but get damaged 10 times more than other equipments and need a TL14 planet or [[Repair Bots]] to fix. SG ship variants (like Asp SG) usually hold one by default so you should not use your Sapper against these at all, Sniper Gun is equally effective while use less energy and make much less heat.
