psiTEC Combat System
The psiTEC Personal
Combat System is a cerebral "psionic" implant that
gives you instant, discreet access to some of the
most powerful weapons available in SL.
Whether your goal is to rule the field of combat or
merely to defend yourself against griefers, psiTEC
enables you to do so without loading your hands up
with guns and projectile weaponry. With the range
of attacks (more can be added) available to psiTEC,
there's no need to carry any other weapon*. And,
with our hide/show feature and easy menu access (or
simple command system), you can wear this all the
time and always have access to your personal
defense and favorite items without it getting in
the way.
psiTEC can also be integrated with your proTEC
shield to provide instant retaliatory options
against those who dare to attack you.
ATTACKS:
Version 2.0 brings with it the fastest movement
available in SL, meaning lightning-fast tracking
for those who flee your wrath. All of our default
attacks use tracking, non-physical movement, so it
cannot be deflected by barriers or physics
disruptors.
1. KILL - Slicing through shields like butter, this
weapon has caused almost instant death through
every shield we've tested, including the most
high-end shielding systems in SL.
2. ORBIT - Launch your opponent straight up to the
tune of 35-80 MILLION meters*. This amount of force
will distort your opponent's av (no, really - see
the pics).
3. PULSE - Even stronger than ORBIT, this attack
offers the strongest push available in SL,
typically launching your enemies so high that SL
can no longer calculate altitude.
4. DISRUPT - Launch bots, vehicles - nearly any
active physical object - off-world. See the look on
your opponent's face (rhetorical) when his $700L
attack bot ends up back in his lost and found.
5. BLITZ - This attack uses unstable physics to
disrupt your target. Because of the nature of this
attack, we cannot guarantee results, unfortunately,
as they depend on a number of variables, but
effects can include death, bizarre relocations, or
incredible push, even on push-restricted parcels.
6. TRAP - Can't sit on it to get out. Can't sit on
anything outside of it to get out, either. Our
smart trap is one of the most irritating traps in
SL.
7. BURN - This tracking flame does a constant
stream of adjustable damage to your enemy. A
popular aubreTEC favorite, Burn has been souped up
with a new blazing-fast movement engine.
8. SMOKE - This cloud of smoke follows your target,
obscuring their vision and making their position
constantly apparent.
9. IMITATE - Once a popular plug-in, IMITATE now
comes included in every psiTEC. This gag allows you
to imitate your target by creating an object that
allows you to speak using their name.
10. TELEPATHY - Want to listen to your far-away
friends? Zoom in on a conversation with your camera
and hear from afar. Try not to use this to invade
privacy, okay?
11. TRACE - These creates a tracking stream of
particles above your target's avatar, enabling you
to follow their movements without giving away your
own position.
12. HUNT - Keep yourself out of range while still
attacking your enemy with this sim-scouring hunter.
This attack will search the entire sim (up to 768m)
for your target and BLITZ 'em long-distance.
13. SHOCKWAVE - Need some breathing room in combat?
Push & damage everybody in a 20m radius.
14. BERSERK - Instantly attack everybody (except
your friends) within a 96m radius.
14. ADD-ONS - This system is modular, meaning that
we'll be developing additional attacks / functions
for this unit that can be purchased seperately and
added to your psiTEC with our ridiculously simple
auto-install system. Several exciting new modules
already in the works - join the aubreTEC Labs group
(open enroll) to be informed of new products.
MORE
FEATURES:
Sometimes, mass destruction doesn't quite fit the
mood...
1. FIND - Create a stream of particles to your
target, so you can find them in a crowded sim.
2. INVENTORY - This new feature allows you put your
favorite copiable items in your psiTEC, and rez
them in front of you on command. We've even given
you a few handy tools to get you started.
3. FRIEND & ENEMY LISTS - Maintain lists of
your favorite folks or your worst rivals, for use
with BERSERK and the GUARD feature.
4. GUARD - Let your psiTEC watch out for folks on
your enemy list, and attack them if they get too
close.
5. SCAN - Get a wealth of information on any avatar
in range, including position, velocity, ratings,
age, status, locomotion, mass, height (no idea why
you'd care about that one), and
damage/push/rez/script/flight permissions on the
lot they occupy.
COMPREHENSIVE
OPERATION:
aubreTEC users have come to expect it.
1. EASY OPERATION - psiTEC employs both verbal
commands and an easy-to-use menu system for all
features and settings. Use the provided gesture for
even faster access to your psiTEC arsenal
2. PARTIAL NAME TARGETING - Because sometimes
saying "kill luc" is just easier.**
3. CUSTOMIZATION - Set command channels, attack
force, effect settings and more through the Options
menu.
4. COLORIZATION - Use our new colorizer system to
make your psiTEC, like, totally match your shoes.
5. HIDE and SHOW - So you never have to answer the
question, "Dude... what the hell is that thing in
your head?"
6. UNIQUE COMM SETTINGS - psiTEC uses big channel
integers unique to your user - so nobody can try to
scan channels to hear what you're up to, or run
disrupting emulators, or accidentally interfere
with your system while using their own.
7. A-LINK - That's the boring name we've given to
the latest version of our networking protocols.
psiTEC still integrates with your proTEC Shield,
and we plan to use this capability in future
aubreTEC products.
8. FREE, AUTOMATIC UPDATES - As always, all updates
are distributed free and automatically. In fact,
now it's even better; we got tired of SL update
mishaps borking our servers, so we made 'em much
more stable.
9. LOW-LAG - We did some significant testing, and
brought the lag down to negligible levels, so you
can feel free to wear all the time. Like numbers?
Here's one: 0.040ms of script time (compared to,
say, an animation overrider at 0.057ms).
10. PRIM EFFECTS - Our new prim-based effect is way
cooler than the old particle one. Of course, if you
liked that one you can use that too. Or turn 'em
off altogether for invisible operation.

NOTE: If you have any previous version of psiTEC,
you are entitled to this product as a free update.
Do NOT purchase it! Go to aubreTEC Labs (EverLite)
in-world and use your psiTEC's "update" button
(Menu > Option > Update). An SL update borked
our global servers, so you'll need to go to our HQ
and update using the local server. psiTEC II
features an all-new, totally re-scripted update
system that guarantees this won't happen again.
We think.
* Except, of
course, for our totally awesome Black Widow guns.
You should carry those, too.
** Please don't kill Luc. He doesn't much care for
that.
