:'''Seed-chips''' are new modules with random parameters and random characteristics that improve weapons and damage abilities of the ship.
:The first Seed-chips appeared when access to the [[Artuga]] system was opened. Enclave pirates distribute their products to mercenaries using covert delivery routes.
:Studies in [[UMC]] laboratories have shown that Seed-chips change the key characteristics of ship modules in a special way. Each Seed-chip is unique and influences changes in its own way. The special technology of merging Seed-chips allows pilots to obtain Seed-chips with better characteristics.
:Sources and production technologies of Seed-chips are still not clear, therefore their use is allowed only in [[Skirmish (CO-OP)|battles against AI]], in [[Missions|PvE missions]] and [[Open Space]]. Pilots should install pirate technology at their own risk!

====Features====
*Seed-chips can be found in Open Space in containers, after the destruction of Pirate and Alien Destroyers and in trophy search after battles.
*Seed-chips have 4 classes, indicated both both the chip's icon background colour, and also the colour of the bullet points stating the effects of the chip in its tooltip.
** “Common” - grey background, 4 grey bullet points. Can be dismantled from a ship for {{CR}}
** “Balanced” - blue background, 1 blue and 3 grey bullet points. Can be dismantled from a ship for {{CR}}
** “Special” - gold background, 1 yellow and 3 grey bullet points. Can be dismantled from a ship for {{GS}}
** “Exceptional” - red background, 2 yellow and 3 grey bullet points. Can be dismantled from a ship for {{GS}}
*Each chip has a rank, and may only be installed on ships of the same or higher rank.
*All seed-chips give 4 random positive effects (5 for Exceptional class chips) to the ship on which they are installed, and all Balanced chips also give 1 negative effect, these will be shown in the chip's tooltip. The magnitudes of the effects are random, but the average magnitude increases with the rank of the chip.
*Seed-chips can be upgraded by combining them with other chips to get chips with better effects. This results in a chip of the same class but higher Mk, which is indicated by the coloured bar below the chip's icon: Mk. 1 (white), Mk. 2 (green), Mk. 3 (blue), Mk. 4 (purple).
*Up to five Seed-chips can be installed on a ship. The maximum number of chips that a ship can take depends on the ship's rank, starting with 1 slot in rank 4 ships.
*When removing a chip from a ship you may either destroy the chip for free or "dismantle" it if you want to receive the chip back in your storage. Dismantling costs an amount of {{CR}} or {{GS}} (shown in the tooltip of the chip and increases with the class of the chip).

====Storage====
Seed-chips are stored in a storage separate to all other items. Initially a player has room for 10 chips, but upgrade the storage capacity in batches of 10 slots with an increasing cost:
* 10 slots total: starting number of slots
* 20 slots total: 1m {{CR}}
* 30 slots total: 2m {{CR}}
* 40 slots total: 4m {{CR}}
* 50 slots total: 8m {{CR}}
* 60 slots total: 10m {{CR}}
* 70 slots total: 15m {{CR}}
* 80 slots total: 20m {{CR}}
* 90 slots total: 30m {{CR}}
* 100 slots total: 40m {{CR}}
