Hackers

From Chosen Space Wiki

Hackers are people who attack pilots who are docked by sending Spys or Spymasters onto someone's ship to either steal Credits from you, Steal Cargo, Sabotage your Bay and/or Engines. The "Hacker" can steal either a large or small amount of funds depending on the level of the Spy/Spymaster. Levels also effect the likely hood of being caught doing these acts and often result in the death of the Spy/Spymaster.

To get Spys to become a hacker, you must go to the Merc Tavern's on different planets and look for spys or spymasters to hire. Once you have them on your ship, you can go to any Space Dock and try and steal from other players.
