Tech 3 Production: Difference between revisions

Line 9:

* Invent Tech 3 Hull and Subsystem BPC using Ancient Relics. This process is also sometimes called reverse engineering.

* Construct Tech 3 subsystems and hulls using the Hybrid Tech Components

The processes for manufacturing tactical destroyers and strategic cruisers differ only in the relic required for reverse-engineering, and in that tactical destroyers do not require Subsystems to be built. This page will otherwise discuss primarily strategic cruiser production.

The initial object required is an ancient relic, retrieved from Relic sites in w-space. Ancient relics look very much like BPOs, except with a yellow background instead of a blue one. Unlike a BPO, however, they will be consumed during the Invention process.

There are six different types ancient relics, each prefixed by a specific ~~flavour~~ (~~i.e.~~ Intact, Malfunctioning or Wrecked, see below):

There are six different types of ancient relics, each prefixed by a specific quality level (Intact, Malfunctioning or Wrecked, see below):

* Small Hull Section - used to invent a T3 destroyer BPC

* Hull Section - used to invent a T3 cruiser hull BPC

* Armor Nanobot - used to invent a Defensive Subsystem BPC

* Hull Section - used to invention a T3 cruiser hull BPC

* Power Cores - used to invent a Core Subsystem BPC

* Small Hull Section - used to invent a T3 destroyer BPC

* Thruster Sections - used to invent a Propulsion Subsystem BPC

* Weapon Subroutines - used to invent an Offensive Subsystem BPC

Each type of ancient relic comes in three different ~~flavours~~:

Each type of ancient relic comes in three different qualities, which determine the chances of success and the quality of the resulting BPC:

* Intact - highest chance of BPC invention (26% base chance of success, 20-run BPC)

* Malfunctioning - medium chance of BPC invention (21% base, 10-run BPC)

===Materials===

* Ancient Relics are gathered from Relic sites in w-space using an Relic Analyzer ({{sk|Archaeology}} skill). ~~Some~~ also ~~drop from~~ Data sites.

* Ancient Relics are gathered from Sleeper Relic sites in w-space using an Relic Analyzer ({{sk|Archaeology}} skill). They can also be found in the Derelict Talocan Battleship found in certain Sleeper Data sites (despite being found in a Data Site, this object also requires a Relic Analyzer). Be warned that these sites are also combat sites.

* Tech 3 Subsystem Datacores are obtained from Data sites in w-space using a Data Analyzer ({{sk|Hacking}} skill) and are required for invention of the various subsystems.

* Tech 3 Subsystem Datacores are obtained from Sleeper Data sites in w-space using a Data Analyzer ({{sk|Hacking}} skill) and are required for invention of the various subsystems. Be warned that these sites are also combat sites.

* Standard datacores are obtained from [[Factional Warfare]] LP stores, R & D agents, randomly from Data sites, or just the market and are required for both invention of the subsystems and of the T3 hulls.
