'''Equipment''' is any one or more items you choose to carry on yourself or others. These can be in various forms and serve several uses. Such examples are:


==Equipping items to yourself==
Weapons - Items such as staffs, lightsabres or blasters are equipment which can be placed in your hands and used to attack or defend from enemies.


Adding equipment to a person is a simple process. If you have the item available you can either:
Armour - It is possible to equip pieces of armour to reduce combat damage from enemy attacks. Examples of armour are things such as Stormtrooper Armour. These usually come in the form of a Torso plate and some pieces of armour may have a matching helmet.
===Method 1: Drag and Drop===


You can choose to drag any item available into a relevant inventory slot to quickly equip/store or drop items.
Storage - These items can be equipped on your person and be used to store other kinds of items. Common examples of these are various different backpacks or tool belts.

Utilities - Other items serve a purpose and allow you to perform various actions. For example a Tool Kit allows you to create and install door locks, jetpacks allow you enhanced movement options and goggles allow you to see further.


As you can see above, the user has attempted to equip a DY-225 blaster. As soon as you click on the item then various locations on the equipment screen will be outlined in blue. These are valid places where the item can be placed. In this case both hand slots are highlighted and the Drop Box. The right slot refers to your primary equipment slot, the item you will use first in a combat situation. The left hand is your secondary slot and will be a backup option. Alternatively if an item requires two hands it may appear to be in both hands simultaneously. It could also be put into the Drop Box which will drop the item on the floor for collection. If the above example also had any storage locations equipped like a belt or backpack then you may also be able to attempt to drop the item inside there.
Clothing - Items such as robes or pilot suits have no purpose at present short of being aesthetically pleasing, allowing the character to wear a uniform or clothing style and roleplay somewhat.  


===Method 2: Tickbox menu===
The various types of items often need to be equipped onto a character in order to be used. For more details, see the article on [[Equipping Items]], which will explain how to equip an item to a character or NPC.
Alternatively you can highlight the checkbox and using the menus you can select to have the game auto equip the item for you. On the example below, you can see that the user is attempting to equip a blaster to their character. By ticking the item in question and using the "Actions" section, they can perform a variety of tasks. Equipping the item will automatically put the ticked item in any available slot. You could however, choose to move items this way into other rooms or other entities like ships or facilities etc.

NPCs can be equipped with items to aide their effectiveness in various situations. In order to do this you need to manage NPC fitouts.
