Enhancements are obtained in 2 ways. The most common way to get Enhancements is to purchase them. Credits are used to purchase Enhancements and they are bought in the ship selection screen. Enhancements purchased appear in your Garage's storage space. The second major way is random drops. On destruction, many ships will drop an enhancement, and a message will be sent to you telling you received an enhancement. The enhancement will automatically appear in your ships cargo bay, unless it is full, in which case it will appear in space where it was dropped and is capturable by anyone. Only ships that participated in a ships destruction are eligible to receive an Enhancement from it's death. | Enhancements are obtained in 2 ways.

Enhancements are upgrades installable on a Ship. These aftermarket parts add individuality to your ship and have beneficial effects on your ships combat performance. Ships are limited to only 8 Enhancements at any one time. Current Enhancement and their effects can be seen by pressing F7 ingame.
Enhancements are obtained in 2 ways. The most common way to get Enhancements is to purchase them. Credits are used to purchase Enhancements and they are bought in the ship selection screen. Enhancements purchased appear in your Garage's storage space. The second major way is random drops. On destruction, many ships will drop an enhancement, and a message will be sent to you telling you received an enhancement. The enhancement will automatically appear in your ships cargo bay, unless it is full, in which case it will appear in space where it was dropped and is capturable by anyone. Only ships that participated in a ships destruction are eligible to receive an Enhancement from it's death.
Enhancements come in levels, with higher levels giving a higher bonus, as well as costing more credits to purchase. The highest levels of Enhancements also have a set durability, which decreases with each death that ship acquires.
Enhancement levels are as such:
- Minor: +1% bonus, unlimited Durability, cannot be bought
- Limited: +2% bonus, unlimited Durability, cannot be bought
- Standard: +3% bonus, 35 Durability, 100 credits
- Improved: +4% bonus, 30 Durability, 200 credits
- Enhanced: +5% bonus, 25 Durability, 400 credits
- Advanced: +6% bonus, 20 Durability, 800 credits
All Enhancements effects stack, but some of the more rare Enhancements are restricted to one per ship.
Most enhancements also have a cap. This is indicated when pressing F7 ingame, showing your current enhancement percentage in white, and the maximum allowed in a red percentage.
Current Common Enhancement Caps are listed below:
- All Weapon/Beam Enhancements excluding Weapon Racks: 24%
- Weapon Rack: No Cap
- All Defensive Enhancements : 24%
- EWAR Stength: 24%
- EWAR Range: 48%
- Turn Rate: No Cap
- Engine Thrust/Velocity: 24%
