Performance

Performance modules focus on improving a spacecraft's mobility, fuel efficiency, and overall speed, allowing for better navigation, longer operational ranges, and enhanced maneuverability.

Performance upgrades are critical for ships that need to maximize their travel efficiency or avoid detection through quick evasive maneuvers. Below are the performance-enhancing modules available for spacecraft.

Fusion Drive Boosters

Fusion drive boosters provide an increase in the ship's speed by enhancing the thrust produced by the ship’s fusion drive. These upgrades allow for quicker acceleration and better fuel efficiency over time, improving the ship’s overall travel performance.

RANK	DESCRIPTION
D4	Small speed boost with high fuel consumption. Useful for brief bursts of speed but inefficient for long-term use.
D6	Moderate speed increase with improved fuel efficiency, suitable for short-range jumps or maneuvers.
D8	Significant speed boost with moderate fuel consumption, allowing for faster travel over longer distances.
D10	Large speed increase with highly efficient fuel use, capable of sustained high-speed travel over long periods.
D12	Maximum speed boost with extreme fuel efficiency, allowing the ship to travel quickly over vast distances with minimal fuel loss.

Thruster Upgrades

Thruster upgrades improve the ship's maneuverability, allowing for more precise navigation and faster evasive actions in combat or tight spaces. These upgrades are crucial for ships that require high agility during operations.

RANK	DESCRIPTION
D4	Basic thrusters with low agility, allowing only slow turns and basic evasive maneuvers.
D6	Moderate improvement to maneuverability, allowing for quicker turns and better control in tight situations.
D8	High agility, allowing the ship to make fast, sharp turns and evasive maneuvers in combat or asteroid fields.
D10	Excellent agility, allowing for near-instantaneous directional changes and evasive maneuvers at high speeds.
D12	Maximum agility, granting extreme control over the ship’s movements in any situation, with highly efficient thruster use.

Heat Dispersion Radiators

Heat dispersion radiators manage excess heat generated by the ship’s systems, especially during combat or extended high-speed travel. These radiators improve heat regulation, reducing the risk of system overload or thermal damage.

RANK	DESCRIPTION
D4	Basic radiator system, suitable for low-speed travel and minor heat buildup.
D6	Moderate heat dissipation, capable of handling extended travel or light combat situations without overheating.
D8	High-capacity heat radiators, able to handle the heat from prolonged high-speed travel or extended combat engagements.
D10	Advanced radiators with near-instant heat dissipation, allowing for high system performance without risking overheating in most situations.
D12	Maximum heat dissipation, capable of handling extreme conditions with no risk of system overheating, even during intense combat or high-speed travel.

Extended Fuel Tanks

Extended fuel tanks increase the ship's fuel capacity, allowing for longer journeys without the need for refueling. This is essential for ships on long-range missions or those operating in areas with limited refueling stations.

RANK	DESCRIPTION
D4	Small fuel extension, providing only a slight increase in operational range.
D6	Moderate fuel increase, allowing for slightly longer missions without refueling.
D8	Significant fuel boost, extending operational range substantially and reducing the need for frequent refueling stops.
D10	Large fuel capacity, allowing for extended interplanetary or long-distance missions with minimal fuel concerns.
D12	Maximum fuel capacity, optimized for long-range missions, allowing for vast operational distances without refueling for extended periods.

Energy Recovery Systems

Energy recovery systems are designed to recycle and recover lost energy from the ship’s systems, such as engines and weapons, to improve overall efficiency and reduce fuel consumption.

RANK	DESCRIPTION
D4	Basic energy recovery, capable of recycling a small percentage of lost energy, with minimal impact on overall efficiency.
D6	Moderate recovery system, reducing fuel consumption slightly by recovering waste energy from engines and ship systems.
D8	High-efficiency recovery system, able to significantly reduce energy waste, improving fuel efficiency and overall ship performance.
D10	Advanced recovery system that recycles most lost energy, allowing for highly efficient fuel use and improved system durability.
D12	Maximum energy recovery, nearly eliminating energy waste, providing extreme fuel efficiency and maximizing the ship’s operational endurance.
