Refining Implants

The final thing that a refiner might consider is implants. Even under the best of circumstances, your skills may fall short. You can further reduce waste through the use of several implants.

The implants that improve refining rate are:

• Zainou 'Beancounter' Refining RX-801: A 1% reduction in refinery waste, at little cost to you.
  
• Zainou 'Beancounter' Refining RX-802: A 2% reduction in refinery waste.
  
• Zainou 'Beancounter' Refining RX-804: An expensive yet impressive implant that reduces waste by 4%.

Note that these seem to shave the listed percentage of waste off the full 100%, rather than reduce the remaining waste amount. E.g., if you have 2% waste remaining, an RX-802 will completely remove it rather than reduce it by a mere fraction of that. Note, however, that you can in no case gain more than 100% of a refine. Use of these implants can help make up for a skill or facilities shortfall, though they do not seem to help in the case of starbase refinery arrays.
