== Overview ==
 
'''Hacking''' is the act of seizing control of an already-built [[Blocks|Block]].  This block may have been built by another player, spawning on an [[NPC Ship]], or built by you yourself before losing [[ownership]] (such as after respawning in a respawn ship outside of a [[Medical Room]]).  Hacking itself is the same regardless of who built it originally.
 
 
 
== Usage ==
 
Hacking involves using a [[Grinder]] to remove components from a block until all the [[Computer]] components have been removed.  If everything is then welded back on using a [[Welder]], the computers will be re-configured to recognize the one doing the welding as the owner.  The hacking threshold is shown by the blue line on the construction interface; once the blue line has been crossed, the block has been hacked, and welding can begin anew.
 
 
 
There is no need to use new computers.  Simply re-weld the ones you gathered from the device.  It goes without saying, but devices without computers cannot be hacked (and as a result, those blocks do not deny access based on ownership).  To see a complete list of blocks that incorporate computers (and are thus hackable), see the [[Computer]] page.
 
 
 
Be warned: when hacking starts the block being hacked will attempt to broadcast a warning to its owner using an [[Antenna]].  Be prepared for a vengeful Engineer coming to protect his property!
