Data
Appearance
Data are valuable pieces of information introduced in ED: Odyssey. Like Assets and Goods, they can be retrieved for mission objectives, or traded at a Concourse's bartender for credits. Many are used to upgrade pilot equipment. Some are used in various ways in Powerplay. Odyssey Engineers reveal another Engineer contact in exchange for specific Data.
Data is obtained by downloading it from various Data Ports in Odyssey Settlements. Some types of data are prohibited to be downloaded and carried around. Attempting to download some data will raise Settlement alarm and cause armed response. Those downloads are marked by violet rectangle.
