X-Factors
X-Factors are special unit abilities (or penalties) that modify the normal combat rules. Some come into play only for certain races . . . for instance, the Thirus All-Purpose Saucer fights better for Orn than for other races.
The displayed Firepower ratings do not take X-Factors into account.
X-Factors for each unit and race are listed as part of its description. An individual game may add, remove, or modify X-Factors - for instance, for a special scenario. Check the Game Info Page for this information.
