Tech

A player with 2 tech found and locked in.

Tech are rare items often found in High-Tech Chests on planets. The item itself looks like a large green microchip with a symbol in the center. To equip, first "use" the item to learn the tech, then go to the tech computer on your ship to lock the tech into 1 of the 4 tech slots available.They can also be created at any crafting station using three tech drives.

High Tech Chest 2

High-Tech Chest (3D Printer)

Usage[]

Using Tech consumes the player's energy. Some Tech found might be race-specific. Some Tech are abilities, while other tech can be vehicles or special weapons. More advanced tech can be found in later sectors in the game.

Some tech is virtually useless until the player has equipped high tier armor, which generally provide higher amounts of energy. A notable example of this is the Gravity Neutraliser....
