So I’ve been playing the game for a couple of weeks now and have been unable to find a definitive answer for these questions:
1; I have just bought the Mercenary DLC and am enjoying the extra 4th loot attempt and am thinking about using the Gold standards that came with it for a license to make grinding for credits a lot easier as ships are so expensive, if I purchase the license that gives 2 extra loot attempts would I then get 6 or only 5 as I have heard it only applies the highest modifier?
2; I am a little unclear as to how the implants work, do all implants installed count no matter what ship I am flying at the time or do only the implants from the faction who’s ship I am flying at the time count, i.e. since I only ever fly Jericho ships at this point am I better off only having Jericho implants or can I pick and choose the ones that best suit my flying/fighting style?
eagerly awaiting your answers

Answer to #2: Implant ranks correspond to ship ranks. If you are flying a Rank 9 ship, all implants up to rank 9 will be applied. Any implants above rank 9 will not.
Note that whichever ship you are flying determines which implants will be applied. So even if you take a rank 9 ship into battle with a rank 8 and a rank 7, the rank 9 implants will not be applied to the rank 8 and 7 ships. Only the rank 9 ship will be affected by the rank 9 implants.
If no one answers the first question, I’ll get you the answer in a couple of days.
For the second question:
In the ship-tree, you see a line on the top,those are MK.1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/etc, the first implant you get is MK.1, if you get a MK.3
implant, it will only work for ships MK.3 and higher.
Understood?
Edit: mahaha, Soldier, you beat me to it.
yes I understand the implants in effect are limited by the RANK of the ship but my question was not about that, my question was if they are FACTION specific

They are not faction specific. If you have a fed ship but Jericho implants, they will still work.
Excellent, thank you WolkKhan, that is good to know, it now becomes worth levelling up the other factions so I can fine tune my implants to suit my individual style :)
As to the first, you will get 6 loot attempts. (Can get 7 if you spend GS on the “booster” for 1 extra loot option and looting even if you lose though it is not really worth it IMHO)
Awesome, thanks FunkyBacon
