Constantly upgrading spaceship is the only way of keeping up with the enemies that get stronger and stronger as you level up.
Choosing the right parts[]
The key to building a powerful spaceship is knowing which parts are best for your spaceship. To do that, you must understand how different part properties modify your spaceship.
Here's list of part properties with use guidelines:
- x damage relay
- Parts with this property increase the damage of the apocalypse class abilities.
- You should only equip them if you use apocalypse abilities.
- Parts that have this property are considered to be weapons and they are the most important parts.
- Only half of spaceship can be composed out of weapons.

- Parts with this property increase the damage of the apocalypse class abilities.
- You should only equip them if you use apocalypse abilities.
- Parts that have this property are considered to be weapons and they are the most important parts.

- Every aggression level gives +1% damage.
- If your spaceship's class is apocalypse, aggression also gives 1 initial ether per level.
- +x to resistance
- Parts with this property increase level of passive goliath class ability/attribute - resistance.
- Every resistance level gives +0.5% reflect chance.
- Reflect works like explained above.
- If your spaceship's class is goliath, resistance also gives 1% maximum armour per level.
- +x to mastery
- Parts with this property increase level of passive nomad class ability/attribute - mastery.
- Every mastery level gives +0.5% unleash chance.

- Every capacity level gives +1% maximum armour.
- If your spaceship's class is carrier, capacity also gives +1% damage per level.
Part limit, weapon limit and engine requirement[]
There's three limitations in spaceship building.
- Part limit. Part limit limits how much parts you can add to your spaceship. Part limit starts with 7 and then increases with level until it reaches 80.
- Weapon limit. Weapon limit is equal to half of part limit. It limits how much weapon parts you can add to your spaceship. Having more weapons than limit allows increases ability cooldowns by 400%.
- Engine requirement. Your spaceship must have at least 1 engine attached. Having no engines reduces movement speed by 50%. Engines are parts that have white flare when equipped.
Alloy containers[]
Alloy containers are items that hold consumable resource - alloy - that allows player to repair spaceship in battle. It is highly recommended to use alloy containers, because they greatly help to survive long missions.
- Alloy containers can be obtained same way as parts - from enemy drops and mission rewards.
- You can equip alloy containers by dragging and dropping them from inventory to alloy container slot that is next to spaceship building field.
- Alloy containers can be used by holding Q.
- As long as there's alloy in the container, pressing Q will repair spaceship, reducing alloy in the container.
- Empty containers can be refilled by pressing refill button in spaceship interface.
- Refilling costs alloy and alloy can be obtained by dismantling parts.
- Different alloy containers have different amounts of alloy they can hold, different refill prices and properties.
