Bulkhead Slots

  

Rigs are permanent ship modifications that fit into the rigging slots of a ship. Once fit, in most ships they must be destroyed in order to be removed (unlike regular modules). The exceptions are T3 Strategic Cruisers which feature removable rigs. Most rigs have some other drawback associated with them; these penalties are reduced by training more levels in the associated rigging skill: the amount of speed reduction caused by armor rigs, for example, is lessened (though never completely eliminated) by your Armor Rigging skill. However, if you're willing to face the full downside, you can fit any rig with no skills whatsoever.

Rigs don't have powergrid or CPU fitting requirements, but instead require calibration, a rig-specific fitting resource. All ships have 400 calibration points, except for pirate faction ships which have 350. A Tech 1 rig requires between 50 and 250 calibration points, with Tech 2 variants requiring 50% more calibration than their Tech 1 equivalents.

Ho slot cars - Tyco ho slot cars - over 150 different styles-competitively priced. 440X2 Bulkhead (440X2) $4.30: CH01. 440X2 Bulkhead WITH BUSHINGS(440X2) $10.00. If you have failed tabbing on an otherwise sound bulkhead, assuming you have access, you can improve the situation by cutting slots in the bulkhead above the original tabbing edge, and lay in biaxial glass or epoxy as shown below. This creates a much more powerful bond with the hull and 'locks' the bulkhead in place without relying solely on the 'sheer resistance' of the normal parallel. Put some glue inside the slot of a bulkhead and inside the corresponding slot of the false keel. Place the bulkhead which is going to lean on the strip 3. Fit the position of the bulkhead with the square. For bulkheads A, B, O, P and Q, put a scrap of veneer in the bottom of the false keel slots, to raise these bulkheads a little.

Rigs fit into rig slots, and, just like modules, each rig takes up one rig slot. Tech 1 ships have 3 rig slots, Tech 2 ships have 2, and a few ships (notably Freighters, Jump Freighters, Corvettes, and Shuttles) have none.

Rigs come in four sizes:

  • Small, for Frigates and Destroyers
  • Medium, for Cruisers, Battlecruisers, Industrials, and Mining Barges
  • Large, for Battleships
  • Capital, for Capital Ships

Unlike for modules, it's not possible to fit a 'wrong-sized' rig on a ship. Nearly all rigs come in all four sizes, with identical stats for each size.

Rigs are manufactured by players, using salvaged material.
