OCIs, or Operational Capacity Improvements, are benefits to the systems of the TCRN Impetus that can be purchased and installed on the strategic layer in one of ten slots the Impetus has available. Their benefits are as follows:

Name Description Effect Cost per install center Acquisition
Sensor
Sensor Arrays help penetrate enemy electronic defense systems so as to gather and process battlefield data. Gain +1 Intelligence 60 Available at start
Sensor II
Upgraded Sensor Arrays help penetrate enemy electronic defense systems so as to gather and process battlefield data. Gain +2 Intelligence 120 Available at start
Info Hub
A network of backdoor channels, informants, and data siphoning rootkits. Gain +3 Intelligence 250 DICE of the Gods trust reward.
Hacker
Hackers can remotely force reboot enemy weapons systems that depend upon chips and data transferring. Gain the Offmap Ability "Hacker Attack", which disables vehicles or other machines for 1 turn. 120 DICE of the Gods trust reward.
Decoys
Sensor Decoys fill enemy radar with false contacts, leading to miscues and missteps. Gain the Offmap Ability "Sensor Decoys", which advances the turn order up to 6 times without using your own units. 160 DICE of the Gods trust reward.
Minigun Strafing
Equips the Dropship with a long barrel minigun extending from front to tail. Particularly deadly against clusters of soft targets. Gain the Offmap Ability "Minigun Strafing", which fires at 5 tiles with suppressive minigun fire. 65 Available at start.
Unguided Missile Strike
Ship-to-Ship missiles ordinarily used to defend the impetus in space are now juryrigged to be used against ground targets. The sighting systems do not function terrestrially, leaving the weapons somewhat inaccurate but the large explosive payloads only have to land close. Gain the Offmap Ability "Unguided Missile Strike", which drops a dummy missile into a generalized area. 120 Available at start.
Rocket Run
Rigs rocket pods onto the dropship, allowing it to strafe targets with a barrarge of unguided rockets. Inflicts very high suppression and fragmentation damage, but little in the way or armor penetration. Gain the Offmap Ability "Rocket Pod Run", which fires a large amount of small, unguided rockets onto the battlefield. 100 The Backbone Trust Reward.
Smoke Curtain
A smoke screen that is dropped from the Impetus onto the battlefield, which helps to block enemy line of sight. Gain the Offmap Ability "Smoke Curtain", which drops a smoke screen over 3 tiles on the battlefield. 90 Available at start.
Supply Drop
The Impetus can send additional supplies onto the battlefield. Due to typical battlefield circumstances, a designated landing spot is not always guaranteed. Gain the Offmap Ability "Supply Drop", which drops a crate of ammunition to refill all weapons and Accessories. 80 The Backbone Trust Reward.
Auto-Laser Sentry Turret
Deploy an auto-laser sentry turret on the map that automatically fires at enemy units. Gain the Offmap Ability "Auto Laser Sentry Turret", which deploys a turret that automatically shoots at enemies. 150 Zayn-Beecher Corp Trust Reward.
Moonshine Distillery
A secretive (and secretly allowed) area onboard the Impetus for the brewing of unique, TCR-flavored moonshine, a commodity some waybackers might take a strong interest in. Gain a "Moonshine" Commodity after each operation 100 Event
