Pulse Engine
The Pulse Engine is the part of the ship's propulsion system which powers all in-system flight, including travel between planets or moons within the same star system
Instability Drive
Instability Drive is a starship technology that increases Pulse Engine fuel efficiency
Flight Assist Override
Sub-Light Amplifier is a starship technology that increases Pulse Engine speed
Photonix Core
+25% Pulse Drive Power
+15% Boost
+11% Maneuverability
Photonix Core is is a starship technology and upgrade for the Pulse Engine
Vesper Sail
Solar ships are equipped with a Vesper Sail, a unique piece of technology which increases Pulse Drive performance and slowly recharges launch thrusters. While ships of this class have lower hyperdrive bonuses, they have the best pulse speed and performance of any class due to this technology. The Vesper Sail can not be purchased or equipped on any other ship class.
Ablative Armour
+7% Shield Strength
Ablative Armour is a shield technology for the starship which improves shield durability
Hyperdrive
Yellow Star Systems
The starship's faster-than-light propulsion drive to aid players travel across star systems & galaxies
Emergency Warp Unit
Emergency Warp Unit is a starship technology that allows escape from combat by warping to an unknown destination. Prior to Synthesis it was always possible to escape combat by warping
Cadmium Drive
Yellow & Red Star Systems
Cadmium Drive is a starship technology and it is the first upgrade to the Hyperdrive. It allows warping to red & yellow coloured star systems
Emeril Drive
Yellow, Red & Green Star Systems
Emeril Drive is a starship technology and it is the second upgrade to the Hyperdrive. It allows warping to green, red & yellow coloured star systems
Indium Drive
Yellow, Red, Green & Blue Star Systems
Indium Drive is a starship technology and it is the third upgrade to the Hyperdrive. It allows warping to yellow, red, green & blue coloured star systems. The player's starship requires both Cadmium Drive and Emeril Drive to be installed, as Emeril can only be found in green coloured star systems
Amethyst Drive
Yellow, Red, Green, Blue & Purple Star Systems
Amethyst Drive is a starship technology and it is the fourth upgrade to the Hyperdrive. It allows warping to yellow, red, green, blue & purple coloured star systems. The player's starship requires the Cadmium, Emeril & Indium Drives to be installed, as Indium can only be found in blue coloured star systems
Photon Cannon
Rate of Fire ~7 shots/sec
Time to Overheat ~5.6 seconds
Overheat Cooldown Time 4 seconds
Photon Cannon is the default weapon installed on all starships, and is more commonly used than the alternative Phase Beam
Nonlinear Optics
+11% Heat Dispersion
Nonlinear Optics is technology that augments the Photon Cannon, a starship weapon
Phase Beam
Drains enemy shields
Phase Beam is one of the primary starship weapons, and is an alternative to the more common Photon Cannon. Both can be used to mine asteroids in space, which hold valuable resources.
Drains enemy starship shields to replenish player ship's shields.
Fourier De-Limiter
+11% Heat Dispersion
Fourier De-Limiter is a technology that augments the Phase Beam, a starship weapon
Positron Ejector
Positron Ejector is a weapons technology for the starship. This starship weapon fires extremely powerful 20-shot spreads somewhat rapidly, but lacks the range of other starship weapons
Fragment Supercharger
+20% Accuracy
+25% Range
Fragment Supercharger is a technology that augments the Positron Ejector, a starship weapon, by increasing its range from 750u to 937.5u (without accounting for upgrade bonuses) while keeping its max-range spread at a similar size
Infra-Knife Accelerator
Infra-Knife Accelerator is a weapons technology for the starship. The weapon fires 2 projectiles at once at a very high rate of fire and disperses heat very quickly while not firing, but takes a long time to recover from overheating
Q-Resonator
Total Cannon Count: 3
Q-Resonator is a technology that uses the Infra-Knife Accelerator icon. It adds an extra shot to each volley of Infra-Knife Accelerator, effectively increasing its base damage output by 50%
Cyclotron Ballista
Disable Enemy Engines
A powerful ship-to-ship weapon, flinging plasmatic balls of ionising radiation towards the selected target. These projectiles can disable starship engines, leaving the target vulnerable to attack from other weapons.
Dyson Pump
+11% Heat Dispersion
Dyson Pump is a technology that augments the Cyclotron Ballista, a starship weapon
Rocket Launcher
Rocket Launcher is a weapons technology for the starship which allows the simultaneous launch of three rockets at enemy ships during dogfights or space battles with pirates. They are not guided and require manually leading your target at longer ranges. To make up for its disadvantage they deal an accumulated damage of 3000 in one attack to all targets in their collective splash radius, making it particularly useful for dealing with clusters of pirates heading towards you. After launching its rockets the weapon needs to cool down before it can be used again.
Large Rocket Tubes
+20% Heat Recovery
Large Rocket Tubes is a technology that augments the Rocket Launcher, a starship weapon. Though there are no other Rocket Launcher upgrades, installing this technology next to Rocket Launcher will trigger an upgrade bonus, further increasing its benefits
Teleport Receiver
+100u Teleport Range
Teleport Receiver is a starship technology, which increases ship material teleport range from 50u to 150u
Economy Scanner
Economy Scanner is a starship technology and allows the player to check a star systems' economy in the Galactic Map without having to warp to that system. This saves warp cells and makes it easier for players to find high-economy systems as well as systems of the correct economy type for a trade route
Conflict Scanner
Conflict Scanner is a starship technology that allows the player to check a star system's Conflict Level in the Galactic Map (shown below the system's economy status) without having to warp to that system first
Antigravity Well
Gently detaches the starship from gravitational fields, lifting it toward the stars.
The well hungers for Pugneum or Radiant Shards, and must be sufficiently fueled before launch.
Luminance Engine
Aligns the ship's electromagnetic emissions with A T L A S waves, providing basic propulsion and Pulse Jump capability.
The sub-light drive hungers for Tritium or Radiant Shards
Aeron Shield
A defensive crimson cocoon, obfuscating the ship's physical form and providing protection from collision and laser fire.
The core self-heals over time, but may be quickly replenished with Catalytic Elements or Radiant Shards.
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.
The enmeshing of the pilot's mind with that of the vessel is necessary to prevent rejection / consumption of the pilot by the ship's vestigial cockpit.
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.
Direct the core's attention to remote destinations via the Galactic Map.
Sentinel Cannon
Sentinel-grade weapons system, engineered for the singular purpose of annihilating rogue ships in violation of system regulations.
