Upgrades

Players earn access to Upgrades starting at Account Level 6, allowing them to customize and improve each ship's performance to suit their desired play style. Ships of different tiers have access to different upgrades, defined by the tables below. Certain upgrades are unique to certain ship types or nations; check the Notes column for more detail.

Purchasing Upgrades

Upgrades may be purchased and mounted for credits. Some packages for purchase, challenge rewards, and mission rewards may also grant upgrades.

Only up to one upgrade may be mounted in each slot. An upgrade may be sold for half of its purchase cost. Alternatively, an upgrade may be demounted for 25 doubloons regardless of its purchase cost. When selling a ship, all upgrades mounted on that ship must either be sold or demounted.

Super Upgrades

Super upgrades are special upgrades obtainable only through supercontainers. These upgrades are available for use in specific slots and generally Tier VI+. Ships must be able to equip the corresponding consumable in order to mount these upgrades (e.g. Des Moines cannot mount Smoke Generator Modification 1 and Gearing cannot mount Surveillance Radar Modification 1); however, they are not automatically compatible with all ships that can mount certain consumables (Missouri cannot mount Surveillance Radar Modification 1, for example). They are mounted normally like other upgrades (you can only have one upgrade in a slot at a time).
