Faction Data Base (FDB)

The Tangent FDB is located at the end of a trail of heavily guarded rooms in the Tangent DNS (Hacknet). You can get there by hacking a Genrep and heading from your factions DNS to Tangents (If your in Tangent you will automatically spawn in the DNS). Once there you will need to speak with one of the databases in the last room, they will give you a choice of blueprints to download, that are specific to the Tangent FBD. To download the blueprnts you must have an unused TL 90 Dataccube in your inventory (Bought From ANY FSM) then choose the blueprint you want (if your not in Tangent then you will require 1 codebreaker to download 1 blueprint). Once you have your bluesprint you will need to get it constructed using the hacknet item parts (Again Bought From ANY FSM), you will also need a construction license from a perticullar factions FSM. For a full list of what parts and construction licenses you need you can right click on the blueprint and show info. Blueprints in the Tangent FDB are:

Mosquito (Drone)- A drone with some kind of special effect. Constructor Machina Glove (Implant/Glove) - Tradeskill glove that improves Construction skill at the expense of the tech combat skill, effect only lasts when the glove is on.
