All crewmembers begin with a PDA, loaded with special tools and programs depending on what your starting assignment is. PDAs can be bought from the PTech vending machine. Certain jobs may find their PDA more useful than others. Traitors acquire their gear with their PDA.
Basic Functions
- Notekeeper: Allows you to make text notes and save them.
- Messenger: Scan for other PDAs and send them text messages, set custom ringtones, or look at your past messages. If your PDA is in your belt or pocket, you can see what incoming messages are in the chat window and directly reply without having to pull out the PDA. By default the PDA is set to Messaging On; turning it Off will not allow others to send you texts but will also prevent you from being the victim of a Detomatrix missile. Traitors acquire thier gear from this.
- Chatbuddy: Group chat program, Use of this WILL make tcomms VERY slow. Do not invite everyone to a group chat unless you want a bwoinking.
- Crew Manifest: Shows who is on the station and thier role.
- Note Scanner: Click on a piece of paper with the note scanner enabled and it transfers the text to the Notekeeper app.
- Atmospheric Analyzer: Shows the composition of gas in the area around you.
- Flashlight: Makes a very small amount of light. Seriously, its terrible.
