Parasite

Parasites feed off of the resources in your ship. They board your ship by your ship being on the receiving end of a parasitic weapon, such as Sleet Sludger or Parasitic Flare Gun, or any other weapon that adds damage over time. To get rid of a parasite, either dock at a station and they will pop out of your ship, or equip an Exterminator which will eat parasites at a specified rate. Some Parasites have a defined size, and can take up hull space. Others are 0 size and can keep on accumlating, making your ship unbearable, and more useful to buy an exterminator. All Parasites are tech 0.
