Command Ship Upgrades

Resources earned from exploring planets can be used to upgrade the player's Command Ship. Below is the list of Command Ship Upgrades. Each upgrade costs Resource Units and either comes in multiple tiers (Engines) or can be bought multiple times (Crew Capacity.)

Lander Upgrades

Makes the Lander more resistant to certain hazardous conditions. Heat plating, for example, will allow the lander to explore hot planets such as Venus.

Fuel Capacity

Additional fuel storage allows for longer missions deep into space before needing to return to refuel.

Engine Upgrades

Increases the acceleration and maximum speed of the ship when travelling around star systems.

Thruster Upgrade

Increases acceleration and turn speed, especially useful for ship battles.

Hyperspace Upgrades

Increases travel speed through Hyperspace.

Weapons

Customizes the weaponry and abilities used in ship battles

Crew Quarters

Increases maximum crew capacity. Crew acts as the command ship's health, if depleted the player loses. Crew can only be replenished in Sol, so increased crew capacity allows for deeper voyages into space.

Cargo Pod

Increases maximum storage of resources collected from exploring worlds.
