Skillchips

Skillchips

Skillchips are chips that enable a specific skill while implanted into the user's head. There are chips that provide mechanical advantages, and there are "just-for-fun" chips (takes 1 slot).

The skillchips that provide mechanical advantages have some limitations:

• You cannot ever have more than one active at the same time.
• You can change mid-round from one to another with the help from a skill station, but there’s a cooldown.

They are intended to provide balance-affecting advantages to performing the role they are associated to. Implanting a chip requires free chip slots, depending on complexity. You start with 3 complexity slots. Job skills require 2 slots. You can have at most 5 chips, even if they would need 0 slots.

List of job related chips:

• Cyborg C1-RCU-1T skillchip - Roboticists start with them - Allows you to see cyborg wire assignments as if you are holding a blueprint.
• Engineering C1-RCU-1T skillchip - Station engineers start with them - Allows you to see airlock and APC wire assignments as if you are holding a blueprint.
