Surgical is one of the 8 Damage types inflicted by certain Weapons. It is a particularly effective damage type against ships such as the Kalthi ships and the AI ship Pax Astralogica. There is a wide range of weapons that do surgical damage including the Liposuction, Love Cylinder and the X-Surgical Laser.

Using surgical damage is tracked, and when something dies, the bonus is proportional to the percent of surgical damage used to kill up to 75%, so and last hit weighted 25%.
