Ship Equipment

Please note, this is work in progress, feel free to fill in the blanks.

 

Hyperdrives

Hyperdrives are required in order to open worm holes, thus travel between star systems.

Their range depends on drive class and ship mass (including cargo).

Travel time and fuel consumption for a given destination are displayed in the sector map screen.

Standard Drives

Standard hyperdrives run on hydrogen.

Class	Mass	Price
1	2	700
2	6	1,300
3	11	2,500
4	25	5,000
5	60	10,000
6	130	20,000
7	245	30,000
8	360	60,000
9	540	120,000

Military Drives

Military drives are smaller than standard drives, but require military fuel. The drive converts the fuel to radioactive waste.

Class	Mass	Price
1	1	23,000
2	3	47,000
3	5	85,000
4	13	214,000

Equipment

Equipment that can be bought and fitted to ship. Please help fill in the missing data.

 

 

Weapons

If a weapon is fitted to the front mount, the second purchase will mount it in the rear position, if available.

	Damage	Recharge	Mass	Price
1MW Pulse Cannon	1000	0.25	1	600
1MW Dual Pulse Cannons	1,000	0.25	4	1,100

Plasma Accelerators

Devastating weapons that accelerates dangerous plasma particles towards a target.

	Damage	Recharge	Mass	Price
Small Plasma Accelerator	50,000	0.3	22	120,000
Large Plasma Accelerator	100,000	0.3	50	390,000

Mining Cannons

Mining Cannons are special pulse cannons that have been modified to tear apart mineral rich rocks.

	Damage	Recharge	Mass	Price

17MW Blast-Mining Cannon	17,000	2	10	10,600

Missiles

Missile unguided

price: 30

A simple rocket-powered projectile filled with explosives.

Missile guided

price: 50, mass 1

A missile that can track down moving targets.

 

Missile smart

price: 95, mass 1

An advanced and more powerful guided missile.

 

Missile naval

price: 160, mass 1

Very powerful guided missile.

Thrusters

You can buy new thrusters to increase the overall thrust of your ship, thus it's maneuverability. They replace the standard thrusters and don't need any additional cargo space. These thrusters do not change deltav, they just improve acceleration, so they don't really make long travels much faster.

Modified Thrusters

price: 3000, thrust increased by: 10 %

Better thrusters for your ship.

Optimised Thrusters

price: 6500, thrust increased by: 20 %

Even better thrusters.

Bespoke Thrusters

price: 14000, thrust increased by: 30 %

The best thrusters you can buy.

Miscellaneous Equipment

Any equipment that does not belong into any of the previous categories should be listed here.

 

Atmospheric shielding

price: 200

Allows ship to go much faster in an atmosphere without burning up, by protecting it from reentry heat.

 

Heavy Atmospheric shielding

price: 900

An improved atmospheric shield which provides the ship with more protection against reentry heat.

 

ECM basic

price: 6000

Electronic Counter Measures System. This system provides basic defense against missile weapons.

 

ECM advanced

price: 15200

A more sophisticated ECM that provides improved protection against missile weapons.

 

 

Radar

price: 680

3D radar projects space body positions relative to itself.

Passenger cabin

price: 1350

Provides space, comfort, entertainment, and life support systems for a single passenger.

Shield generator

price: 2500

Projects a protective screen around your ship, which can take a certain amount of damage before collapsing. It recharges slowly over time. You can mount several Shield Generator to increase its power.

Laser cooling booster

price: 380

Speeds up the cooling of cannons, so continuous firing can be maintained longer. (Maximum of 1)

Cargo life support

price: 700

Necessary to maintain living conditions in the cargo hold.

Autopilot

price: 1400

Computer system that can automatically control your ship. It can reach targets on its own, dock, or achieve orbit.

 

 

Target Scanner

price: 900

Gives information on a selected ship.

 

Advanced target scanner

price: 1200

Gives information on a selected ship, system wide coverage.

Fuel scoop

price: 3500

Cargo scoop

price: 3900

Allows scooping of raw ores and cargo canisters.

Multi scoop

price: 12000

Half cargo scoop, half fuel scoop. Less efficient than either, but more efficient equipment mass.

Hypercloud analyzer
