Starship modules

What can a starship upgrade module raise? Each system of a starship has its own family of upgrade modules, and the class sets how many stats one install raises and how far: an S-Class Pulse Engine upgrade raises three of its stats, a C-Class one one or two. The starship merchant of a station sells them, as station technology merchants shows.

Each stat reads as the module's card prints it. Illegal modules are sold at an Outlaw Station and now and then by the Scrap Dealer, and Rusted ones are sea salvage.

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, where the Illegal modules stand out by a one-in-ten draw that raises the most stats their kind allows. Where to put them for the most damage is on supercharged slots.

The colour drives are not upgrade modules. A Cadmium, Emeril, or Indium Drive lets the hyperdrive reach red, green, or blue stars, and each is a blueprint of the Space Anomaly; they are in the table of every starship module. The Atlantid Drive, which reaches the purple stars, is a blueprint of the Space Anomaly too, and the quest In Stellar Multitudes gives it.

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

Interceptor only

A Sentinel Interceptor flies on its own core technology, and no other ship takes it; the Interceptors guide says where to find one.

Module	What it does
Anti-Gravity Well	Gently detaches the starship from gravitational fields, lifting it toward the stars.
Luminance Engine	Aligns the ship's electromagnetic emissions with A T L A S waves, providing basic propulsion and Pulse Jump capability.
Crimson Core	A raw optic organ, red and unblinking. Suspended above the ship's engines, it gazes down tunnels in spacetime, allowing FTL travel between star systems.
Aeron Shield	A defensive crimson cocoon, obfuscating the ship's physical form and providing protection from collision and laser fire.
Sentinel Cannon	Sentinel-grade weapons system, engineered for the singular purpose of annihilating rogue ships in violation of system regulations.
Pilot Interface	This device allows a pilot's brain to interface with the mind of the Sentinel Interceptor, granting the pilot access to ship control systems and external sensors.

Modules only the interceptor takes.

Living ship only

A living ship grows organs in the place of a starship's technology: none of these fits another ship, and of the starship modules it takes only the figurines, the trails, and the Atlantid Drive.

Module	What it does
Pulsing Heart	A fibrous metallic superstructure binds this warm and vital organ with the core of the ship. Without it, the ship would be nothing, a lifeless husk.
Neural Assembly	An array of distributed neurons, fused to a board of metallic strands. Complex patterns of electrical impulses weave their way across the surface, knotting each ship system together.
Singularity Cortex	A complex bio-metallic stem plugged directly into an antimatter heart. Registers high activity during interstellar jumps. It appears to delight in the complex calculations required for FTL travel.
Scream Suppressor	This small extension to the ship's automated defense network appears to be its own autonomous organism. A small mouth in the centre of its flesh hungers for Pugneum.
Spewing Vents	A mess of sacs and sphincters, these vents generate and expel globules of plasma. When fused to the weapon systems of the ship, these are super-heated and then expelled at high-pressure.
Grafted Eyes	A complex arrangement of membranes and lens, fused atop a high-energy laser array. Incineration awaits those that meet their stare.
Neural Shielding	A beautiful living weave of nanotubes, laced through the vessel's neural assembly. This structure can be energised as the ship deems fit, creating a field that blocks hostile cargo probes.
Chloroplast Membrane	An infusion of cyanobacteria fills the membrane, which rests just beneath the ship's translucent dermal layer.
Wormhole Brain	The wormhole brain permits the ship vision of systems far beyond its own experience. It consists of strands of neural matter, wrapped around a micro-singularity and tethered directly to the ship's visual cortex.
Saline Carapace	A salty membrane encases the ship, dramatically increasing its natural buoyancy.
Grasping Tendrils	Filaments of sinew and neuron warp and weave across the ship, their complex geometry darting between the visible world and some unfathomable dimension beyond.

Modules only the living ship takes.

Figurines

A figurine sits in the cockpit, takes a technology slot, and changes a stat. Six are sold for Quicksilver, the rest are expedition rewards.

Figurine	Bonus
Apollo Figurine	Damage +8
Artemis Figurine	Boost +5%
Atlas Figurine	Hyperdrive Range +50
Nada Figurine	Launch Cost −10%
-null- Figurine	Shield Strength +5%

Tentacled Figurine	Boost +5%
Astronaut Figurine	Manoeuvrability +5%

Cockpit figurines, each with the stat it changes.

Starship trails

A trail colours the exhaust and adds 1% to boost. It is not a drive: the Cadmium or Emeril Drive in the list of every starship module opens stars of that colour, a trail of the same name only paints the exhaust. Five trails are sold for Quicksilver, the rest are expedition rewards.

Trail	Bonus
Chromatic Starship Trail	Boost +1%
Stealth Starship Trail	Boost +1%
Cadmium Starship Trail	Boost +1%
Emeril Starship Trail	Boost +1%
Golden Starship Trail	Boost +1%
Sputtering Starship Trail	Boost +1%

Aeron Starship Trail	Boost +1%

Starship trails, each with the stat it changes.

A corvette you build yourself takes these modules, and each part it is built from brings one more, as corvettes shows and corvette modules lists.
