Starship component

Starship components is the name of a tab displayed when using a Starship Crafting Tool by Structure traders (Shipwrights). These components have optional upgrades that can be added to the crafting process with varying results.

Armor
Durasteel Plating

Upgrades
 * Armor Reinforcement Panel: using these panels will strengthen the armor, but will make your starfighter heavier.
 * Mass Reduction Kit: this kit will reduce the weight of armor, but will negatively affect the strength of the armor.

Booster
Booster

Upgrades
 * Booster Overdriver: gives a booster a higher speed and acceleration, but increases the overall mass of the ship.
 * Extended Life Fuel Cell: increases the amount of energy a booster can store, but the energy recharges slower.
 * Fast Charge Fuel Cell: recharges faster than other fuel cells, but can store less energy overall.
 * Heavy Fuel Cell: increases the energy a booster can store, but also increases the consumption rate.

Capacitor
Weapons Capacitor

Upgrades
 * Energy Saver Batter: reduces the energy maintenance of the capacitor, but decreases the amount of energy the capacitor can store.
 * Heavy Battery: increases the maximum energy storage of a capacitor, but also increases the energy maintenance.
 * Quick Recharge Battery: recharges faster than most, but can store less energy overall.

Droid Interface
Droid Interface

Upgrades
 * Droid Brain Upgrade: increases the command speed of the interface, but also increases the energy maintenance.
 * Maintenance Reduction Kit: will bring the energy maintenance of the interface down, but will also negatively impact the droid command speed.

Engine
Starfighter Engine

Upgrades
 * Engine Limiter: decreases energy maintenance, but negatively impacts acceleration and speed.
 * Engine Overdriver: increases acceleration and speed, but also increases energy maintenance.

Reactor
Fusion Reactor

Upgrades
 * Reactor Limiter: lowers the mass of the reactor, but also lowers the amount of energy it can generate.
 * Reactor Overcharger: increases the amount of energy a reactor generates, but also increases the mass.

Shield
Deflector Shield Generator

Upgrades
 * Shield Energy Saver Kit: decreases the energy maintenance of the generator, but also decreases the shield effectiveness.
 * Shield Limiter: decreases the effectiveness of the generator, but increases the recharge rate of the shields.
 * Shield Overcharger: increases the effectiveness of shields, but decreases the recharge rate.
