== Repairing Firewalls ==
+
==Description==
 +
Cartridges are created with a [[3D Printer]], and inserted into a [[Data Core Terminal]] to boost various ship systems, with a slight penalty to another system. They appear as a circuit board in a dark blue plastic case. To install a cartridge, target the slot in the center front of the Data Core Terminal and insert.
 +
* These should not be confused with [[Hacking Chipsets]] which are used in the [[Cyber Warfare Suite]] to drain, repair or boost firewalls, and appear as a red, green or blue circuit board with a plastic outer frame only.
  
* '''Repair firewall''' - applies a set regeneration rate to a firewall
+
==Uses==
** 10 [[Silicon]] ~ 10 [[Gold]] ~ 10 [[Platinum]]
+
Each cartridge will boost a particular system, but impose a small penalty to another system, so using them will always involve some trade off. Additionally, the cartridge burns out in about 200 or so minutes of use, but you can slow this by using the power toggle button on the [[Data Core Terminal]]'s display. Cartridges can be made in the following varieties with materials as listed:
* '''Repair firewall percentage''' - applies a percentage based regeneration rate on a firewall (faster when the firewall is stronger)
+
 
** 10 [[Silicon]] ~ 10 [[Gold]] ~ 10 [[Platinum]]
+
* Power (10 [[Silicon]], 10 [[Gold]] & 10 [[Iridium]])
* '''Repair firewall pulse''' - applies a set amount of firewall hitpoints after a set amount of ticks
+
* Engine (10 [[Silicon]], 10 [[Gold]] & 10 [[Platinum]])
** 10 [[Silicon]] ~ 10 [[Gold]] ~ 10 [[Platinum]]
+
* Combat (10 [[Silicon]], 10 [[Gold]] & 10 [[Osmium]])
* '''Repair hacked system''' - applies a set regeneration rate to a hacked firewall
+
* Mining & Resource (10 [[Silicon]], 10 [[Gold]] & 10 [[Silver]])
** 10 [[Silicon]] ~ 10 [[Gold]] ~ 10 [[Platinum]]
+
* Devices (10 [[Silicon]], 10 [[Gold]] & 10 [[Mercury]])
 +
 
 +
==Sample Cartridge Values==
 +
The five types may have different bonus and penalty values, as well as different affected systems. The amounts each and systems affected appear to be randomized at creation in the [[3D Printer]] (needs verification).
