The main article for this category is Ship Components

Where each ship is a blank slate with its own style and design, ship components are the nuts and bolts of customization. From the recharge rate of shields to the raw hull-busting power of a ballistic weapon, each component has unique characteristics and behaviors.

Broadly, each ship component can be placed into one of nine hardpoints^[1]

• Hull: The body of the ship for mounting additional armor, reducing weight, or modifying cross-section
• Avionics: The computer systems of the ship, upgraded with better turret AI, missile lock systems, etc.
• Power Plant: Supplies the power for all other systems
• Afterburners: Burns extra fuel to provide a boost to the ship's thrust
• Shield Generators: Shields protect the ship from debris and enemy attacks; coming in multiple sizes and with varying characteristics.
• Radar: It can be used to detect vehicles, guided missiles and terrain.
• Fuel Tank: Stores and delivers mass to the ship's power plant for power and thrust generation
• Maneuvering Thrusters: Small thrusters that provide the majority of controlling thrust to orient the ship
• Main Thrusters: Provide the majority of forward thrust for the ship
• Miscellaneous Weapon batteries, ammo racks, additional cooling systems, etc.
• Weapons: The sharp edge to any combat ship, weapons are designed for any pilot to defend themselves; or go on the attack.

Ship components may be purchased from a variety of weapon manufacturers including Klaus & Werner or Apocalypse Arms.
