Hacking Kit

You acquire and train in the use of a Hacking Kit that only you can use. Add this to your Pilot Inventory. This has a basic suite of hacking transmitters and tools that can be utilised by programming hacks into it.

When you acquire the Hacking Kit you may program a single Ability with the Hacking Trait from any System, Module, or Mech Chassis Ability you have access to into your Hacking Kit. The Hacking Kit can store a number of Abilities equal to the Tech Level of your Union Crawler, additional Abilities can be added during Downtime.

Once programmed, you can use the Abilities stored on your Hacking Kit as your Pilot, and can spend AP instead of EP when using them.

In addition, any Pilot Ability you have with the Hacking Trait may be performed from your Mech. You can spend EP for this Ability instead of AP.

If your Hacking Kit is misplaced or destroyed you can acquire a new one during Downtime, it still has all your stored abilities backed up.
