Components

The parts a ship design is built from, grouped as the ship designer groups them.

Command and Control

Component	Tiers	What it does	Available
Bridge	Single	The main control centre of a starship.	From the start
Crew Quarters	Single	Living space where the crew spends its off-hours.	From the start
Life Support	Single	Air, water and warmth - the systems that keep a crew alive between the stars.	From the start
Master Computer	I to III	An AI neural net that flies and crews a whole starship in place of its bridge, life support and crew.	Computers 1

Sensors

Component	Tiers	What it does	Available
Combat Sensors	I to III	Fire-control sensors that sharpen a ship's aim in combat.	Sensors 1
ECM	I to III	Electronic counter-measures that spoof incoming fire, making the ship harder to hit.	Combat Support 1

Propulsion

Component	Tiers	What it does	Available
Ion Drive	I to III	A magnetically-accelerated ion drive - the workhorse of interstellar travel.	From the start
Fusion Drive	I to III	A fusion torch - the same tonnage, appreciably more thrust.	Propulsion 4
Antimatter Drive	I to III	Matter-antimatter annihilation, driving the hull harder still.	Propulsion 7
Quantum Drive	I to III	A quantum drive - the fastest thing a hull can carry.	Propulsion 10

Weapons

Component	Tiers	What it does	Available
Depleted Uranium Cannon	I to V	Hurls dense uranium slugs at a target at high velocity.	From the start
Siege Missile	Single	A heavy guided warhead built to pound fortified worlds.	From the start
Field Dissipator	Single	Bleeds an enemy's shields away without touching the hull.	Shield-Piercing Weapons 1
Phase Lance	Single	A tuned beam that slips straight through shields.	Phase Weapons 1
Voidbreach Projector	Single	A null-space projector that ignores shields and armour alike.	Voidspace Weapons 1
Drive Dispersal Beam	Single	Scatters an ion charge through a target's engines to cripple its drive.	Engine Disruptors 1
Muon Projector	Single	Rakes a target's weapon mounts, silencing its guns.	Weapon Disruptors 1
Particle Beam	I to XII	A focused stream of charged particles that rakes a target at range.	Directed-Energy Weapons 1

Defence

Component	Tiers	What it does	Available
Armour Plate	I to III	Ablative plating that soaks damage before it reaches the ship's systems.	Armour 1
Shield Generator	I to V	Projects an energy shield that absorbs fire between battles.	Shields 1

Construction

Component	Tiers	What it does	Available
Repair Bay	I to III	A mobile repair yard that mends the components of nearby ships in the field.	Repair 1

Remote Mining

Component	Tiers	What it does	Available
Robo-Miner	I to III	Autonomous robots that strip minerals from an uncolonised world, wearing it out for good.	From the start
Robo-Farmer	I to III	Autonomous robots that coax organics from an uncolonised world, wearing it out for good.	From the start
Robo-Extractor	I to III	Autonomous robots that draw radioactives from an uncolonised world, wearing it out for good.	From the start

Storage

Component	Tiers	What it does	Available
Supply Storage	Single	Extra tankage that stretches how far the ship can range from home.	From the start
Solar Collector	I to III	Draws on a system's starlight to replenish the ship's own supply tank in the field.	Stellar Harnessing 1

Colony

Component	Tiers	What it does	Available
Colony Module (Rock)	Single	The gear needed to raise a colony on a rock world.	Rock World Colonisation 1
Colony Module (Ice)	Single	The gear needed to raise a colony on an ice world.	Ice World Colonisation 1
Colony Module (Gas)	Single	The gear needed to anchor a colony above a gas giant.	Gas World Colonisation 1
