Experimentation Lines

These items have 4 lines of experimentation available.

1. Experimental Armor Hitpoints
2. Experimental Energy Maintenance
3. Experimental Hitpoints
4. Experimental Mass

The Experimental Armor Hitpoints line depends on 33% OQ 66% UT. Experimentation on this line will increase the Armor attribute on these items.

The Experimental Energy Maintenance line depends on 50% CD, 50%. Experimentation on this line will decrease the Reactor Energy Drain attribute in these items.

The Experimental Hitpoints line depends on 33% OQ 66% UT. Experimentation on this line will increase the Hitpoints attribute on these items.

The Experimental Mass line depends on 33% OQ 66% UT. Experimentation on this line will decrease the Mass attribute on these items.

Item Attributes

Variation Of:

This attribute spawns on any item that has had its base type name changed. For player crafted items this type change occurs when the player renames the item from the default given one. The name change can occur automatically as the player chooses a particular style for the item during the customization process or by manually renaming the item in the name field. After changing the name the item now indicates that it is a variation of the specific type that it originated as.

For more information about the Variation Of attribute, see General Item Mechanics

Certified

This attribute is a category listing.

Level 1 Ship Equipment Certification:

This attribute appears on Mark I items and indicates the level of the component. It also serves to indicate to the player whether or not they meet the level requirement set in order to be able to use the item. Available values are "Yes" and "No". If a player does not meet the requirement then they are not able to install the item into their vessel.

Level 3 Ship Equipment Certification:

This attribute appears on Mark II items and indicates the level of the component. It also serves to indicate to the player whether or not they meet the level requirement set in order to be able to use the item. Available values are "Yes" and "No". If a player does not meet the requirement then they are not able to install the item into their vessel.

Level 5 Ship Equipment Certification:

This attribute appears on Mark III items and indicates the level of the component. It also serves to indicate to the player whether or not they meet the level requirement set in order to be able to use the item. Available values are "Yes" and "No". If a player does not meet the requirement then they are not able to install the item into their vessel.

Level 7 Ship Equipment Certification:

This attribute appears on Mark IV items and indicates the level of the component. It also serves to indicate to the player whether or not they meet the level requirement set in order to be able to use the item. Available values are "Yes" and "No". If a player does not meet the requirement then they are not able to install the item into their vessel.

Level 9 Ship Equipment Certification:

This attribute appears on Mark V items and indicates the level of the component. It also serves to indicate to the player whether or not they meet the level requirement set in order to be able to use the item. Available values are "Yes" and "No". If a player does not meet the requirement then they are not able to install the item into their vessel.

Volumn:

Represents the current container contents of the Item.

For more information about volumn counts, see Inventory Mechanics

Object Creator:

This attribute appears only on crafted items or looted components. The crafter's name is listed here.

Serial Number:

This attribute only appears on crafted items. This represents the alphanumeric code given to the item.

See General Item Mechanics, Using Schematics and General Crafting Mechanics for more information about Serial numbers

Ship Component

This attribute is a category listing.

Armor:

This value represents the amount of damage that the component will take before passing any further damage on to be subtracted from the Hitpoints attribute.

Hitpoints:

This value represents the amount of damage that the component will take before being disabled and ceasing to function. The Hitpoints on these components are not affected until the value in the Armor attribute has been depleted.

Reactor Energy Drain:

This attribute represents the amount added to the energy requirements of the starship if this component is added in.

Mass:

This attribute represents the amount of weight or mass that will be added onto the ship chassis when this component is included in the starship.

Booster Energy:

• The booster has a finite amount of energy it can devote to boosting. When this energy is depleted, the booster ceases to function and must recharge. The value listed here is the maximum amount of energy that the booster can store to be used when it is operational.

Booster Recharge Rate:

• The rate at which the booster recharges. Each point represents one unit of recharge rate per second. So a recharge rate of 50 means 50 units of energy regenerated per second.
• Note: Boosters do not recharge while in use.

Booster Energy Consumption Rate:

• The rate at which the booster drains its energy supply. Each unit in this value represents one unit of energy that is consumed for every second of use that the booster is operating at. A Lower value indicates lower energy use per second.

Acceleration:

• The rate at which the booster accelerates the ship from its current speed to its maximum boosted speed.

Top Booster Speed:

• The amount of extra speed the booster applies to the engine.
• Note: When a booster is engaged, it applies this value to the current engine speed, not the maximum speed.
