Rigs: Difference between revisions

'''Rigs''' are permanent ship modifications that fit into the rigging slots of a ship. Once fit, they must be destroyed in order to be removed (unlike regular [[modules]]). Most rigs have some other drawback associated with them; these penalties are reduced by training more levels in the associated [[Skills:Rigging|rigging skill]]: the amount of speed reduction caused by armor rigs, for example, is lessened (though never completely eliminated) by your {{sk|Armor Rigging|icon=yes}} skill. However if you're willing to face the full downside, you can fit any rig with no skills whatsoever, despite the "skill requirements" of the rig.

Rigs don't have powergrid or CPU fitting requirements, but instead require ''calibration'', a rig-specific fitting resource. All ships have 400 calibration points, except for pirate faction ships which have 350. A Tech 1 rig requires between 50 and 250 calibration points, with Tech 2 variants requiring 50% more calibration than their Tech 1 equivalents.  

The downsides of armor rigs can be mitigated by training {{sk|Armor Rigging}}.

The downsides of astronautic rigs can be mitigated by training {{sk|Astronautics Rigging}}.

The downsides of drone rigs can be mitigated by training {{sk|Drones Rigging}}.

The downsides of electronic superiority rigs can be mitigated by training {{sk|Electronic Superiority Rigging}}.

The downsides of missile launcher rigs can be mitigated by training {{sk|Launcher Rigging}}.

The downsides of shield rigs can be mitigated by training {{sk|Shield Rigging}}.

The downsides of targeting rigs can be mitigated by training {{sk|Electronic Superiority Rigging}}.

Each of the three turret types (energy, hybrid, and projectile) have a separate set of rigs. The downside of turret weapon rigs can be reduced by training {{sk|Energy Weapon Rigging}}, {{sk|Hybrid Weapon Rigging}}, or {{sk|Projectile Weapon Rigging}}, as appropriate.
