Another way to increase your character's attributes is through plugging [[Implants|implants]] into your head. The first five numbered slots on your character sheet's Augmentations window are for [[Implants#Attribute_Enhancers|attribute enhancers]], implants which each give a bonus (from +1 to +5) to one of your five attributes. Unfortunately, if your pod is destroyed all your implants in the clone piloting it are destroyed as well.

The +1/2/3 implants are relatively cheap and you only need to train [[Skills:Science#Cybernetics|Cybernetics]] I to use them, so it's worth investing in these as soon as you can as, even with the smaller bonuses, they reduce training time by a significant amount. Storyline missions sometimes offer an implant as a reward so if you're running missions you may find yourself collecting some implants. You can also take advantage of the Uni [[The_Implants_Program|Implant Program]] to buy significantly discounted +3 implants.

Do note that there are also slot 1-5 implants that also provide other bonuses, in addition to attribute increases. While these are usually more expensive, do check the markets carefully, as sometimes some "Low-Grade" ones, which are +2 to an attribute, are occasionally less expensive than the equivalent +2 implant ("Limited ''<type>'' - Beta").
