Freighter technology

What can a freighter upgrade module raise? The hyperdrive and each kind of frigate expedition have their own family, from C to S, and most raise one stat: an S-Class freighter hyperdrive upgrade adds 200 ly to 250 ly of range. No merchant sells them. They come from three places:

A derelict freighter. The Scrap Dealer, behind the Galactic Trade Terminal of a station, sells the place of one, 5,000,000 units the first time and 10,000,000 the second. At its engineering control panel, pick Fabricate Items, then Fabricate Technology Upgrade. It gives one freighter module of any class, C to S, or now and then a starship reactor instead. A freighter module from it is class C 55% of the time, B 25%, A 15%, and S 5%. Its walk from the hangar to that panel is the quest Lost in Space.
A destroyed pirate dreadnought. It gives one module, always at class S, as freighter modules shows. The rare class A item it gives instead is a starship reactor, not a freighter module.
The Hive of Glass. The boss of the Swarm expedition gave a class S module too; it fought only in that expedition, which has ended.

Every module on this page has the numbers of its system: the same place gives the same module again.

Each stat reads as the module's card prints it.

Every freighter module

The modules you build or receive, apart from upgrade modules. The Resonance Matrix, which takes the freighter to the purple stars, is a Capital Ship Research blueprint, bought for Salvaged Frigate Modules, and the quest In Stellar Multitudes gives it too.

Module	What it does	Built from
Freighter Hyperdrive	FTL propulsion drive that allows starship to attain warp speed and jump between neighbouring systems.
Warp Core Resonator	An augmentation for the colossal hyperdrive engine of an interstellar freighter.	Cadmium ×250, Quantum Computer ×1, Antimatter Housing ×4
Plasmatic Warp Injector	An augmentation for the colossal hyperdrive engine of an interstellar freighter.	Emeril ×250, Solar Mirror ×1, Antimatter Housing ×5
Reality De-Threader	An augmentation for the colossal hyperdrive engine of an interstellar freighter.	Indium ×250, Magnetic Resonator ×1, Antimatter Housing ×6
Amplified Warp Shielding	Upgrades the hyperdrive's core bounding magnets, preventing rapid disassembly when attempting to reach rare-class red stellar bodies.	Warp Hypercore ×1, Quantum Computer ×2, Cadmium ×250
Chromatic Warp Shielding	Upgrades the hyperdrive's shield integrity, preventing reality glitches when attempting to reach rare-class green stellar bodies.	Warp Hypercore ×1, Solar Mirror ×2, Emeril ×250
Temporal Warp Computer	Upgrades the hyperdrive's computational matrix, preventing temporal anomalies when attempting to reach rare-class blue stellar bodies.	Warp Hypercore ×1, Magnetic Resonator ×2, Indium ×250
Resonance Matrix	Sideloads a resonant memory packet into your warp computer, allowing the ship to pass through the dissonant space surrounding purple stellar bodies.	Crystallised Heart ×1, Atlantideum ×160, Quartzite ×250
Matter Beam	A device that modulates standard freighter communication signals to enable the interplanetary transport of matter as well as data.	Antimatter ×5, Magnetic Resonator ×3, Wiring Loom ×10
Interstellar Scanner	An upgrade to the freighter's galactic-scale sensors.	Chromatic Metal ×160, Magnetised Ferrite ×70, Wiring Loom ×2
Singularity Engine	An unstable and highly-experimental piece of freighter hyperdrive technology. This extreme gravity device generates a wormhole deep within the freighter's reactor core, inverting the entire vessel and transporting it across the universe.
Atmospheric Control Unit	A critical freighter subsystem, vital for maintaining a habitable and safe environment for all on-board organic lifeforms.

Every freighter module the game lists, apart from upgrade modules.

Upgrade modules

One table per family: each class, how many stats one install raises, and the limits of each stat. Below each table a second one shows what one install rolls: how many stats it raises, how often it comes near the best its kind can add to the stat it names, and how often each stat is raised; a third shows how often a raised stat lands in the top tenth of its limits.

That covers the freighter. What is left is the gear you never find and only upgrade, starting with the suit you wear: exosuit modules.
