Description

A Chipset is 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 Chipset, target the slot on the far right side of the Cyber Warfare Suite.

  • These should not be confused with a Cartridge which is 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

The Chipset item is used in a Cyber Warfare Suite to drain firewalls of enemy ships, or boost/repair the firewalls of friendly ships.

Each Chipset requires 10 gold, 10 silicon and either 10 iridium for draining firewalls, or 10 platinum for repairing and boosting firewalls. All chipsets have a limited life and will "burn out" after the stated time.

A Chipset can have the following stats:

  • Red Circuit Board
    • Break Firewall: Applies a set drain rate on a firewall, eg: 1.03 / tick.
    • Break Firewall Percentage: Drains a percentage of the firewall per tick (faster when the firewall is stronger).
    • Break Firewall Pulse: Drains a fixed amount after a set amount of ticks, eg: 57 / each 83 ticks.
  • Green Circuit Board
    • Repair Firewall: Applies a set regeneration rate to a firewall, eg: 1.12 / tick.
    • Repair Firewall Percentage: Applies a percentage based regeneration rate on a firewall (faster when the firewall is stronger).
    • Repair Firewall Pulse: Restores a fixed amount after a set amount of ticks, eg: 93 / each 113 ticks.
  • Blue Circuit Board
    • Repair Hacked System: Applies a set regeneration rate to a hacked firewall, eg: 1.40 / tick.
