[hide]Hardwiring by affected skill area
Note that each table entry represents a series of hardwirings not just one specific implant, any series consists of different grades of that specific hardwiring giving a bonus of different height (most often 1%, 3%, 5%).
Gunnery
For hardwires that include "(all)", the bonus affects all types of turrets, not just the racial turret otherwise featured in that set.
| Racial specialization | Model name | Slot 6 | Slot 7 | Slot 8 | Slot 9 | Slot 10 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| projectile turret | 'Gunslinger' | SX: small damage | AX: tracking (all) | MX: medium damage | CX: damage (all) | LX: large damage |
| energy turret | 'Lancer' | Alpha: small damage | Beta: capacitor use (all) | Gamma: medium damage | Delta: rate of fire (all) | Epsilon: large damage |
| hybrid turret | 'Deadeye' beginning with "ZG" | ZGS: small damage | ZGC: falloff (all) | ZGM: medium damage | ZGA: optimal range (all) | ZGL: large damage |
| (non-racial) turret CPU | 'Gnome' (see rest of series below) | KZA: CPU need (all) |
Summary by Slot

Missiles
Missile hardwires include all 'Sharpshooter', all 'Snapshot', and 'Deadeye' beginning with "ZM" ('Deadeye' begining with "ZG" are hybrid turret hardwires, see above). They have 3-letter series ID's starting with "ZM".
| Missile type | Slot 6 | Slot 7 | Slot 8 | Slot 9 | Slot 10 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| torpedo/citadel torpedo | ZMT/ZMX: damage | ||||
| cruise | ZMU: damage | (*) | |||
| heavy/heavy assault | ZMH/ZME: damage | (*) | |||
| light/rocket | (*) | ZMN/ZMR: damage | |||
| defender | ZMD: velocity | ||||
| F.o.F. | ZMF: explosion radius | ||||
| all | ZMC or ZML: range (flight time or velocity) | ZMA: explosion radius (for sizes noted with (*) above) | ZMS: explosion velocity | ZMM: rate of fire |
Note that the "KTA" series in slot 6 saves launcher CPU, but "KMB" fits in the same slot and boosts overall CPU, which is preferable.
Summary
6: +dam for cruise or heavier, else use a utility hardwire.
7: +dam for heavies, else range.
8: -explosion radius for cruise or smaller, else +vel for defenders (but a utility hardwire is probably preferable over that)
9: +dam for lights or rockets, else +explosion velocity.
10: +rof unless you really love FoF.
Navigation hardwires are 'Rogue'. They have two-letter series ID's ending in Y.
| Slot 6 | Slot 7 | Slot 8 | Slot 9 |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY: velocity MY: afterburner/microwarpdrive speed bonus EY: afterburner duration FY: warp capacitor need, or HY: warp speed |
AY: agility | DY: afterburner capacitor need | GY: microwarpdrive capacitor need |
Mechanic
Mechanic hardwires are 'Noble' and 'Gentry', which have three-letter series ID's starting with ZET (for normal modules) and ZEX (for capital size modules), respectively. The number after the ZET/ZEX gives the slot, and the number of zeroes gives the strength.
| Model name | Slot 6 | Slot 7 | Slot 8 | Slot 9 | Slot 10 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 'Noble' | ZET-10: armor/hull repair duration | ZET-20: remote repair capacitor use | ZET-30: hull hitpoints | ZET-40: armor/hull repair amount | ZET-50: armor hitpoints |
| 'Gentry' | ZEX-10: capital armor/hull repair duration | ZEX-20: capital remote repair capacitor use |
Electronics
Electronics hardwires are 'Gypsy' and have three-letter model names beginning with K and ending in B. There are no electronics hardwires for implant slot 10.
| Slot 6 | Slot 7 | Slot 8 | Slot 9 |
|---|---|---|---|
| KLB: electronics upgrade CPU usage KMB: total CPU output |
KNB: scan resolution | KPB: targeting range KQB: propusion jammer capacitor need |
KOB: electronic warfare capacitor need KRB: sensor link capacitor need KSB: weapon disruptor capacitor need KTB: target painter capacitor need |
Engineering
Engineering hardwires are 'Squire', 'Sprite', and most 'Gnome' models. 'Sprite' and 'Gnome' models enhance shield skills and have three-letter ID's beginning with K and ending in A or, for capital ship skills, X. 'Squire' models enhance the rest of the engineering skills follow a name pattern with two letters followed by a 2, 4, or 8 for strength.
| Model name | Slot 6 | Slot 7 | Slot 8 | Slot 9 | Slot 10 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 'Squire' | CR: capacitor recharge rate PG: powergrid output |
EE: energy emission systems capacitor need GU: energy upgrade CPU need EP: energy pulse weapon (smart bomb) duration |
CC: total capacitor output | ||
| 'Gnome' | KTA: see #Missiles note KUA: shield upgrade power need |
KVA: shield capacity | KXA: shield emission capacitor need | KYA: shield recharge rate | KZA: see #Gunnery note |
| 'Sprite' | KXX: capital shield emission systems capacitor need |
Science
Science hardwires cover two different science skills, astrometrics ('Prospector', which have three-letter model names beginning with PP) and skill boosters (most of the 'Alchemist' line, which have two-letter model names ending in A).
| Model name | Slot 6 | Slot 7 | Slot 8 | Slot 9 | Slot 10 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 'Prospector' | PPF: max scan deviation | PPG: scan strength | PPH: scan duration | PPW (*): chance of archaeological find PPX (*): chance of data retrieval PPY (*): chance of salvage |
PPZ (*): salvage, hacking, and archaeology duration |
| 'Alchemist' | WA: booster duration | YA: booster side effect severity | XA: booster side effect chance |
(*) PPW, PPX, PPY, and PPZ only have one strength of implant available, requiring Cybernetics III.
Industry
Industry hardwires are 'Beancounter' for research and production, which have one-letter model names; and 'Highwall', 'Yeti', and one 'Alchemist' for mining.
| Model name | Slot 6 | Slot 7 | Slot 8 | Slot 9 | Slot 10 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 'Beancounter' | I: blueprint manufacturing time | J: material efficiency research time | F: manufacturing time H: refinery waste reduction K: blueprint copy time |
||
| 'Highwall', 'Yeti', and 'Alchemist' | ZA: gas cloud harvester duration | HX: mining yield HY: CPU penalty of mining upgrades BX: ice harvester duration |
