Empath Details
>> ab empath grid
Your abilities while using an empathic grid are such that all operations you enact upon it shall be
faster than non-empaths. This skill is automatic.
>> ab empath analyze
Syntax: GRID ANALYZE SHIP
        GRID ANALYZE CREATURE
Module: Empathic Grid
You can scan ships and creatures on the aetherways to gain information about their current state.
>> ab empath distribution
Syntax: GRID DISTRIBUTE FROM TO
Module: Empathic Grid
You can transfer power from one module to another. Bring a module below 100% power will make it
behave as if it has suffered physical damage. Conversely, giving it extra power can compensate for
damage taken. Furthermore, boosting a module over 100% power can actually make it perform better
than normal if it has not taken much damage. For example, a command chair will pilot the ship
faster, a battle turret will do more damage, and an empathic grid will have superior healing. You
can distribute power between all three of those types of modules and also a shield module.
>> ab empath channel
Syntax: GRID HAIL
        GRID CHANNEL OPEN
        GRID CHANNEL TALK
        GRID CHANNEL CLOSE
Module: Empathic Grid
Hailing a ship inidcates you wish to talk with that ship. You can open a communication channel with
any ship that has hailed you with the OPEN syntax. Once the channel is open, you can use the TALK
syntax to talk with the other ship's empath.
>> ab empath covey
Syntax: GRID COVEY
Module: Empathic Grid
By forming a covey, everyone on your ship's crew will be able to maintain ship channel communication
even while off the ship, provided they are on the same plane the ship is docked with.
>> ab empath clarity
Syntax: GRID CLARITY
Module: Empathic Grid
Clarity will clear several problems on a module, including shock, murkle, and worble.
>> ab empath scan
Syntax: GRID SCAN
Module: Empathic Grid
You can use your empathic grid to detect the presence of other ships in the same aether environment
your ship is in.
>> ab empath song
Syntax: GRID SONG
Module: Empathic Grid
Power:Â Â 3
The Algontherine Song will send out a hail of distress to other empaths that may be within reach of
you..
>> ab empath synchronize
Syntax: GRID SYNCHRONIZE SHIP
        GRID SYNCHRONIZE NONE
        GRID SYNCHRONIZE TALK
Module: Empathic Grid
You can request synchronization with another ship. If that ship returns the synchronization request,
you will be fully synchronized. This will open up an additional communication channel. This channel
will stay open even over very large distances.
>> ab empath dissonance
Syntax: GRID DISSONANCE
Module: Empathic Grid
Power:Â Â 3
Dissonance will create a very large communication jamming field.
>> ab empath screech
Syntax: GRID SCREECH ON
        GRID SCREECH OFF
        GRID SCREECH
Module: Empathic Grid
By turning on a passive screech, your ship will damage any other ships that try to hail her. By
executing an active screech, you can damage the ship that has a communiction channel with your ship
that was opened via hailing.
>> ab empath deepbond
Syntax: GRID DEEPBOND
Module: Empathic Grid
Power:Â Â 10
Giving someone a deepbond will cause them to conglutinate to your ship if they die on the ship or
any plane the ship is docked at, except for the Prime Material Plane.
>> ab empath parasite
Syntax: GRID PARASITE
Module: Empathic Grid
Power:Â Â 10
The parasite will let you synchronize with a ship against its will, breaking any other
synchronizations it may have had.
>> ab empath regenerate
Syntax: GRID REGENERATE
Module: Empathic Grid
Power:Â Â 5
Regenerating a module will revive a module that has been completely blown up.
>> ab empath flush
Syntax: GRID FLUSH
Module: Empathic Grid
Power:Â Â 10
This will flush all modules on the ship of most malfunctions, including shock, sludge, murkle, and
worble.
>> ab empath resonance
Syntax: GRID RESONANCE
Module: Empathic Grid
Power:Â Â 10
You can now create an aura that surrounds the ship for a brief time, making her undetectable by the
dangerous creatures that inhabit the aetherways.
Combateer details
Syntax: TURRET STRIP
Module: Battle Turret
Power: 3
For whichever ship you are targetting, you will cause her shields to fall apart.
Syntax: TURRET REPULSE
Module: Battle Turret
For whichever ship or aether beast you are targetting, you will blast it into a
nearby location.
Syntax: TURRET MURKLE
Module: Battle Turret
Power: 1
For the ship module you are targetting, afflicting it with murkle will cause it
to malfucntion at random times.
Syntax: TURRET SLUDGE
Module: Battle Turret
Covering a ship with sludge will cause it to slow down.
Syntax: TURRET RUPTURE
Module: Battle Turret
Power: 3
Upon creating a rupture in aetherspace, any ship or aether beast that encounters
the rupture will suffer damage.
Syntax: TURRET WORBLE
Module: Battle Turret
Power: 1
Cause a targetted module to respond slowly to its commands.
Syntax: TURRET SIPHON
Module: Battle Turret
You can now use a battle turret to siphon energy from a targetted ship, provided
its shields do not interfere.

Syntax: TURRET MARMUCKLE
Module: Battle Turret
Power: 5
Give murkle to all modules on the targetted ship.

1 room ships...
..are thing of the past, there is no way to repair the damage to your chair from monsters without a grid.
Siphon'ing is going to need a high empath as well. I think it's a nice change, but it'll take getting used to.
Edit:Well, I guess you could always blow them up to heal your modules.
That seems a bit extreme just because you don't want to buy a chair though.

Does this mean no more solo pilots to astral with only a command chair and not modules in one room ships?

Most of the time I am in aetherspace my ship never runs into the monsters because they move so fast, so unless the monsters have also gotten faster 1 room ships should still be fine.
