A broken data chip here, a fried circuit there, the useless remnants of a destroyed ship everywhere else, with the introduction of Kali, we are now able to salvage broken components from the wrecks of destroyed ships and construct rigs, a hodge-podge of circuits that we can strap onto our ships to provide that little extra Mabinogi Gold boost we all find useful.
In part one of this guide, we'll leave aside the construction of these handy devices and concentrate instead on how best to utilise them.
We'll start off with a little basic info on rigs. With the Kali patch, every ship in EVE has now been equipped with some new module slots called Rig Slots and a new fitting stat called Calibration.
While normal modules fit in high, mid and low power slots and use up power grid and CPU, rigs similarly fit into the new rig slots but consume only calibration points.
So what's the catch? Likened more to implants than modules, rigs cannot be unplugged without destroying them. Also, a lot of rigs have drawbacks to balance out their benefits, making them useful on only very specialized ships.
Drawbacks can be reduced by training the appropriate skill, Armour Rigging, for example, reduces the drawback for armour rigs by 10% per level.
