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 with * listed as the damage. 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 have indefinite space and can keep on accumlating, making your ship unbearable, and more useful to buy an exterminator. All Parasites are tech 0.
