Shipwright

Starship components is the name of a tab displayed when using a Starship Crafting Tool. These components have optional upgrades that can be added during 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: 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 Battery:
  • (Mark I, Mark II, Mark III, Mark IV, Mark V)
  • Reduces the energy maintenance of the capacitor, but decreases the amount of energy the capacitor can store.

• Heavy Battery:
  • (Mark I, Mark II, Mark III, Mark IV, Mark V)
  • Increases the maximum energy storage of a capacitor, but also increases the energy maintenance.

• Quick Recharge Battery:
  • (Mark I, Mark II, Mark III, Mark IV, Mark V)
  • 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 component upgrades

Engine Limiter

• Mark I, Mark II, Mark III, Mark IV, Mark V
• Effect: Decreases energy maintenance, but negatively impacts acceleration and speed.

Engine Overdriver

• Mark I, Mark II, Mark III, Mark IV, Mark V
• Effect: Increases acceleration and speed, but also increases energy maintenance.

Engine Stabilizer

• Mark I, Mark II
• Effect: Increases yaw, pitch and roll and decreases energy maintenance, at the cost of mass.

Reactor

Fusion Reactor upgrades

Reactor Limiter

• Mark I, Mark II, Mark III, Mark IV, Mark V
• Effect: Lowers the mass of the reactor, but also lowers the amount of energy it can generate.

Reactor Overcharger

• Mark I, Mark II, Mark III, Mark IV, Mark V
• Effect: 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.

Weapon

Armor Effectiveness Intensifier

• Mark I, Mark II, Mark III, Mark IV, Mark V
• Boosts the armor effectiveness of the weapon, but decreases the shield effectiveness.

Max Damage Intensifier

• Mark I, Mark II, Mark III, Mark IV, Mark V
• Increases the maximum damage of a weapon, but decreases the minimum damage.

Min Damage Intensifier

• Mark I, Mark II, Mark III, Mark IV, Mark V
• Increases the minimum damage potential of a weapon, but decreases the maximum damage.

Quick Shot Upgrade

• Mark I, Mark II, Mark III, Mark IV, Mark V
• Increases the firing rate of the weapon, but also increases the capacitor energy required per shot.

Shield Effectiveness Intensifier

• Mark I, Mark II, Mark III, Mark IV, Mark V
• Increases a weapon's effectiveness against shields, but decreases its effectiveness against armor plating.

Speed Limiter Upgrade

• Mark I, Mark II, Mark III, Mark IV, Mark V

Weapon Efficiency Booster

• Weapon Efficiency Booster
• Drastically decreases the energy maintenance required by the weapon.

Upgrades resources

Each upgrade requires a specific resource type that is always in spawn but only on one planet each resource shift.
