Ships

The ship selection

Each ship has a Reactor Power, which can be allocated to either Energy, Ordnance or Mass. Each resource can only be allocated a certain amount of Reactor Power. Reactor Power can be reallocated both before and during combat but reallocating it during combat will generate 1 Heat. Credits can be used to upgrade either the ship's reactor or the resource capacity. Upgrading the reactor increases Reactor Power by 1 and costs 125 Credits the first time and 25 more with each subsequent upgrade. Upgrading the resource capacity increases the maximum amount of Reactor Power that can be allocated to it and costs 100 Credits the first time and 50 more with each subsequent upgrade. Reactor Power can be upgraded up to 9 times. Resource capacity can be upgraded up to 3 times for each resource.

Playable ships
