Skill hardwirings are a type of implant. In general, weapons and ship enhancements are in sets of six, which give a bonus of 1-6% to a given skill or attribute, depending on the grade of the implant, whereas industry, science and processing hardwires are in sets of three and have varying bonuses. The bonuses are stacked separately from the actual corresponding skills, i.e. if a skill gives you 5% / level, and you have the 5% hardwiring, your total effect is 1.25 * 1.05 = 1.3125 for a positive bonus or 0.75 * 0.95 = 0.7125 for a negative bonus, not the 1.30 or 0.70 you would get by adding the 25% and the 5% for a 30% bonus.

Note that each table entry below represents a series of hardwirings, not just one specific implant. Any series consists of different grades that give a different bonus amount. Individual faction and officer hardwires are not listed below.

Table of Implants

Implant Acquisition

All hardwiring implants can be purchased at NPC stations through the LP store. This is usually the most cost-effective way but not always as the market is volatile and may offer cheaper implants off the market than the LP store. Ellatha LP Database hosts an LP database so implants and their LP store prices can be cross-checked with market prices.
