Power Shield
Lowers damage but part of every hit's energy is transmitted into inner
heating.
|
 |
Nanomachines
They repair the ship automatically during the battle. They are sensitive
to the temperature, so the heat must be zero to make them work.
|
 |

useful protection against bullets and can be used to hit enemies, when
they got too close.
|
 |

Weapon Sets Controller
Device allows you to keep more than one set of weapons in your ship's slots.
Some bosses are hard to kill without a rear gun as they move around the screen
and do not allow you to fly in front of them. But when you install one of
your guns in a rear slot, you lose a lot of power for frontal attack –
which is crucial for the rest of the mission. You can solve this problem
by using W.S.C. You just define two different layouts for weapons.
You can switch them during the fight by pressing their numbers. You can
have up to 5 weapon sets changed by keys 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
With W.S.C. you will add a new indicator/button in the menu to show the
active set and to allow you to switch them with mouse (numbers in red hexes).
When you fly you see the active weapon set as a small number between the H.I.
and heat display on the top.

Rotary Cage
Sometimes it is useful to cover wide area in the battle or shoot targets on
the ground, and sometimes it's better to concentrate your whole firepower
on one spot. You can do this with Rotary Cage. You change the angle of
your upper and lower FRONT gun by pressing 'Z' and 'X' key. Middle
weapon fires forward all the time. Current angle is indicated by a circle
and small red arrows around the left heat display. Test it during the
shopping break. Watch as the indicator and weapon aiming changes when
you press 'Z' or 'X'.

RemCon
RemCon or Remote Controller is a special hacking device, that allows
you to get certain automatic machines on the battlefield under your
control. Hold SHIFT or 'N' to start the device to transmit it's
hacking signal. You have to aim the signal on a chosen target and
keep it under it's influence until the inner security of the target
is overridden. Targets suitable for hacking are marked by a yellow
locator with meter in the lower left corner. The meter shows, how
much longer you have to hack the target to activate it's functions.
|
 |
Boss Detector

It will inform you how much longer you have to fight the enemy to
destroy him.
|

Bounty Hunter Licence

enemies are detected as a wanted pirates and marked by a green detection
mark. When you kill them you get 5x higher score. There are also 9
champion villains spread around the game. You get them as an item in
your cargo, when you destroy their ships, you can extradite them for
great sums during shopping break.

Atarix
Atarix device is used for hacking locks of collected cargo containers.
Click the container and the hacking device will appear automatically.
You have to find the correct combination to break the lock. Type in
four numbers (by clicking the buttons or by number pad keys) and watch
colors as they appear in the result column. Numbers marked green are
correct, yellow ones are in the code but in a different position, red
ones are totally wrong. You have several attempts to find the code. Too many wrong
inputs destroy the content. If you do not want to risk that, you can
sell the container locked, but you get just a small price and you will
never discover the hidden item.
Atarix also improves itself with successful cracking. Do a few manual
cracks to raise its ability and then use much quicker autocracing option.

Camouflage
You can change camouflage for some ships for free.
