Nanomachines
Nanomachines is a genial technology for people who maintain fighting and killing machines. They are a unique self-repairing system, working directly during battle. Nanos are very sensitive to inner temperature. Hence the heating of your weapons must be kept at zero in order to make your nanos work. Nanomachines must be purchased and can be upgraded twice.

Circulus
Circulus holds a large tromium ball in a magnetic field around the ship. Tromium is a very hard and dense metal so the object could be a quite effective shield against bullets and even as a weapon when you dare to attack enemies at a very short distance.

This enables level mini-bosses and random enemies that give 5× higher point amounts if destroyed.

Atarix
Atarix is a small but handy computer, purchased for 150,000 Z, and able to unlock secured cargo containers. Valuable goods are often hidden in well locked boxes. This device can open it without the risk of damaging the content.

A trick is to only buy the Atarix when you need some containers cracked. That means you always have an extra 150,000 Z to spend when you're not opening anything.

An efficient tactic for cracking the code easily is to first enter 0123, check if any of the numbers are correct, then enter 4567 to check if any of those are correct. After that, one has enough information to arrange the numbers in the right order, and there is a 50% chance of getting 8 or 9 right if they are in the code, anyway.
