Modules

Modules
The Outpost is the main center from which all modules, both weaponry and resource based, are found.



Here is the modules listing:

Chassis
The Chassis is the literal body of a Space Pirates ship. There are currently fourteen different ship chassis, each allowing for more weaponry as well as more ship health and other benefits. Upgrading a ship's chassis is important as you never know what type of strategy your fellow Space Pirates may be going with. A better chassis can allow you to survive longer and can provide an ease of mind when you go to do other things while collecting resources. That is unless someone comes along and finds you...

Shields
The Shields help to protect your ships chassis from damage. As strong and durable as a chassis may be, without a good level shield, the ship will be doomed to ruination should a strong enough enemy appear. The shield changes in appearance as it is upgraded and can be very useful at holding back enemy fire, as well as Marines who will steal your hard earned resources.

Weapons
Weapons are how you both defend yourself and how you launch an assault against other players. Using resources you can purchase them and upgrade them to ensure that you are a tremendous force in the Space Pirates world. All weapons start off as Level 1 and will require more resources and strategic thinking.

Mining and Silos
Miners or Resource Collectors are the backbone of every ship and the ants for every ship Captain to command. They gather the important Gas and Crystal resources in the Space Pirates game, and never tire. The only time they stop is when there are no resources to collect, or if they've collected the maximum amount that they can hold.

Silos are where all Resources, collected by the player's Miners, are stored. If a silo is full the Resource Miner will continue to collect resources until it too becomes full.

Engines
The Engine module will determine how fast you can move and turn, while in the Battle phase, of the Space Pirates game.

Upgrading the Engine can be beneficial as it will allow you to move for longer durations of time. This and the faster turn rate can be beneficial if you're fighting a stronger ship, or defending yourself from an attack.

Research
The Research module is a scientific research facility that allows Space Pirate Captains to construct better upgrades. Such upgrades include higher level chassis, the Communications Tower for Squad based tactics and many other Space Pirate features.

Communications Tower
The Comms Tower allows players the option of creating Squad alliances that open up new features of the game.

The Comms Tower is only unlockable after the purchase of a Level 2 Research module.
