Skill hardwirings are a type of implant. Hardwiring gives a bonus equivalent to improving your trained level of a given skill. Often the top of the line in a given hardwiring is equivalent to training another level in that skill, though only for the bonus granted by the skill, not for satisfying prerequisites, and stacking separately (i.e. if a skill gives you 5%/level, and you have the 5% hardwiring, your total effect is 1.25*1.05=1.3125 for a positive bonus or .75*.95=.7125 for a negative bonus, not the 1.30 or .70 you would get by adding the 25% and the 5% for a 30% bonus).
Note that each table entry below represents a series of hardwirings, not just one specific implant. Any series consists of different grades of that specific hardwiring giving a different bonus amount (most often 1%, 3%, 5%).
Contents
[hide]Hardwiring by affected skill area
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
Out of slots 6, 8, and 10 you probably have 1 obvious choice you care about, i.e. your favorite racial turret in your favorite size.
6: +dam for racial small turret, else use a utility hardwire.
7: +tracking, -cap, or +falloff.
8: +dam for racial medium turret, else use a utility hardwire.
9: +dam, +rof, or +optimal.
10: +dam for racial large turret, else save CPU.
Summary by Skill
- Controlled Bursts: 'Lancer' Beta
- Motion Prediction: 'Gunslinger' AX
- Rapid Firing (and also Gunnery, which has the same type of bonus): 'Lancer' Delta
- Sharpshooter: 'Deadeye' ZGA
- Small/Medium/Large Energy Turret: 'Lancer' Alpha/Gamma/Epsilon
- Small/Medium/Large Hybrid Turret: 'Deadeye' ZGS/M/L
- Small/Medium/Large Projectile Turret: 'Gunslinger' SX/MX/LX
- Surgical Strike: 'Gunslinger' CX
- Trajectory Analysis: 'Deadeye' ZGC
- Weapon Upgrades: 'Gnome' KZA
Missiles
Missile hardwires include 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 | ZMT: damage | ||||
| cruise | ZMU: damage | (*) | |||
| heavy assault | ZME: damage | ||||
| heavy | ZMH: damage | (*) | |||
| rocket | ZMR: damage | ||||
| light | (*) | ZMN: damage | |||
| defender | ZMD: velocity | ||||
| F.o.F. | ZMF: explosion radius | ||||
| all | ZMC or ZML: range (flight time or velocity) | ZMA: explosion radius (for guided missiles, types noted with (*) above) | ZMS: explosion velocity | ZMM: rate of fire |
The 'Sharpshooter' ZMX series in the database for citadel torpedos does not appear to exist in-game.
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 by Slot
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.
