Defense Chit is a consumable product.
Summary[]
Defense Chit is a consumable product used to summon aid when your starship is engaged by pirates for a space battle.
Defense Chits are used when first beset by pirates. When used, a Chit summons sentinels to fight the pirates alongside you. It is worth noting that the sentinels are typically incapable of defeating the pirates for you. You need to assist them, or flee while the pirates are occupied. Additionally, you can fire upon sentinel starships, intentionally or otherwise, and add them to the number of ships you need to defeat or outrun.
Game Description[]
A token, entitling the bearer to support from the system authorities in dealing with pirate attacks.
Build[]
Defense Chits are not standard products; they cannot be built by players. Instead they are acquired through missions or trade. At the Mission Board, delivery type missions will put into your inventory whatever items you need to deliver plus one Defense Chit. This Chit will remain in your inventory until used, even after you have completed or abandoned the mission.
Additional information[]
Inventory[]
Defense Chits stack up to five in Exosuit They also stack up to five in Starship or Exosuit Cargo inventory slots, and up to ten in storage container or freighter inventory slots. You may use a Defense Chit if it is in your Exosuit or Starship inventories.
Use of Defence Chits[]
When first threatened by pirates you receive notice of "Emergency Comms Established" and a six-second clock will count down to zero. If you act within those seconds, then you move to a communication screen, otherwise the pirates open fire on you. To open the communication screen:
- PS4: - press down on the PS4 D-Pad and then press X.
- PC: - by default you must press the X key to open the quickbar, use Q and E to navigate the quickbar to the communications option and press F to answer.
The communication screen shows a threat from the pirates and four options:
- Refuse
- Bargain
- Comply
- Alert authorities
This last option will remove one Defense Chit from your inventory and summon the sentinels. Be aware that it takes time for the sentinels to appear, with the fastest response times being centred around the space station and freighter convoys.
