[[File:Pda.png|64px|left]] A '''PDA''' is a pocket computer with various features that range from identifying yourself on the crew manifest to communicating with other crew members. All crewmembers begin with a PDA, loaded with special tools and programs depending on what your starting assignment is. PDAs can be bought from the PTech vending machine. Certain jobs may find their PDA more useful than others. [[Traitor]]s can even acquire their [[Syndicate Items|gear]] with their PDA.

*Notekeeper: Allows you to make text notes and save them. On an unlocked Syndicate PDA, this will instead bring up a list of available items to purchase.

*Messenger: Scan for other PDAs and send them text messages, set custom ringtones, or look at your past messages. If your PDA is in your belt or pocket, you can see what incoming messages are in the chat window and directly reply without having to pull out the PDA. By default the PDA is set to Messaging On; turning it Off will not allow others to send you texts but will also prevent you from being the victim of a [[Syndicate Items#Detomatrix Cartridge|Detomatrix missile]].

Most PDAs have special scanners which allow them to act as a certain scanner you would normally use.
PDA's uses don't stop at their features. Crew members can extent the usage of PDAs by inserting various cartridges. Each of these cartridges serve a specific purpose and tend to actually be very helpful. Most crew members will start with a cartridge already in their PDA based on what role they have. Most cartridges can be acquired at the P-Tech vendor in [[Cargo]]

*A [[Scientist]]'s PDA can be used as a Reagant Analyzer, showing the composition of gases in a container or chemicals in a container/person.

*[[Security Officer|Security]] and the [[Detective]]'s PDA has a built in [[Detective#Scanner|Forensic Scanner]]
*A [[Botanist]]'s PDA can be used as a [[Plant Analyzer]]
*A [[Geneticist]]'s PDA can be used to scan people and send a copy of their DNA to the genetics modifier.


Certain Heads of Staff's PDAs are capable of switching between different types of scanners. Selecting the appropriate file from the CART will change the scanner.

A PDA is a pocket computer with various features that range from identifying yourself on the crew manifest to communicating with other crew members. All crewmembers begin with a PDA, loaded with special tools and programs depending on what your starting assignment is. PDAs can be bought from the PTech vending machine. Certain jobs may find their PDA more useful than others. Traitors can even acquire their gear with their PDA.

placing your Id regular.png ID in your PDA and clicking the "Update PDA Info" button will update your PDA with your current job and sync that PDA to you. If you want to change the look of your PDA, you will have to go to the Head of Personnel.

The P-Tech Vendor found in Cargo
