Description

Hacking Chipsets are created with a 3D Printer, and inserted into the Cyber Warfare Suite to drain, repair or boost firewalls of an enemy or your own ship. They appear as a Red (offensive), Green (defensive) or Blue (maintenance) colored circuit board with a plastic outer frame. To install a Hacking Chipset, target the slot on the far right side of the Cyber Warfare Suite.

• These should not be confused with Cartridges which are used in the Data Core Terminal to boost various ship systems, and appear as a circuit board completely enclosed in a dark blue case.

Uses

Hacking Chipsets are used in a Cyber Warfare Suite to drain other firewalls or boost/repair the firewalls of the own ship.

Chipsets require 10 gold, 10 silicon and either 10 iridium for draining firewalls or 10 platinum for repairing and boosting firewalls
