Upgrades

Revision as of 19:49, 12 May 2019

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.

One upgrade can be mounted in each slot. A mounted upgrade may be sold for half of its purchase cost. Or, it may be demounted to Inventory for 25. When selling a ship, all upgrades mounted on that ship must either be sold or demounted.

With 0.8.0, a number of upgrades pertaining to aircraft carriers and AA changed.

Research seems to show that the specific effects are as follows:
- -50% to time for reaching full power. This is the time needed to "spool" the engines to full power in the direction the ship is traveling, and thus achieve maximum acceleration away from 0 knots. In other words, it increases the second derivative of speed (until the engines reach full power). It will not decrease the time it takes to reverse the engines to decelerate towards 0 knots. This effect is applied at all speeds.
- Increases engine power when the ship starts moving. This increases the ship's acceleration away from 0 knots when between -6 and 6 knots displayed speed. In other words, it increases the first derivative of speed (within this speed band). It does not improve the ship's deceleration towards 0 knots.

Tier VIII+ Equipment (Slot 5)

Equipment Name	Cost	Description	Notes
Torpedo Lookout System	2000000	: +50% to range of assured acquisition of enemy ships. +20% to spotting range. +20% to the acquisition range of torpedoes.	The spotting mechanics ignore line-of-sight obstacles — such as islands — when within 2 km (3 km with this upgrade) from an enemy. That's the "assured acquisition" range. Stacks with Vigilance when spotting torpedoes.
Concealment System Modification 1	2000000	Decreases the detectability range of your ship and aircraft; increases the dispersion of shells fired by enemies attacking your ship: -10% to detectability radius. +5% to the maximum dispersion of enemy shells fired at your ship.

Special Upgrades

Special upgrades are upgrades that are obtainable only through the Armory, currently for Coal.

These upgrades are available for use in specific slots and generally restricted to ships Tier VI and above. 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 (i.e. you can only have one upgrade in a slot at a time).

Special upgrades that modify the effects of a corresponding consumable have no effect if that consumable is not mounted. For instance, Defensive AA Fire Modification 1 functions only if a Defensive AA Fire  consumable is also mounted.

Slot 1

	Damage Control Party Modification 1	625,000	Increases Damage Control Party duration: +40% to duration of Damage Control Party .	Tier VI-X ships and battleship Arkansas Beta. (Not ARP or Dragon ships.)
	Spotting Aircraft Modification 1	625,000	Increases Spotting Aircraft duration: +30% to duration of Spotting Aircraft .	Tier VI-X battleships and cruisers with the Spotting Aircraft consumable.

Hydroacoustic Search Modification 1	625,000	Increases Hydroacoustic Search duration: +20% to duration of Hydroacoustic Search .	Tier VI-X destroyers and cruisers with the Hydroacoustic Search only. (Not ARP or Dragon ships.)
Surveillance Radar Modification 1	625,000	Increases Surveillance Radar duration: +20% to duration of Surveillance Radar .	Tier IX-X destroyers and cruisers with the Surveillance Radar consumable only.

Icon	Equipment Name	Selling Price	Description	Notes
	Smoke Generator Modification 1	625,000	Increases Smoke Generator duration: +30% to duration of Smoke Generator . -5% to duration of smoke clouds produced by Smoke Generator.	Tier VI-X destroyers and cruisers with the Smoke Generator consumable only.

Unique Upgrades ("Legendary" Upgrades)

Unique (sometimes referred to as "Legendary") upgrades are Tier X ship-specific upgrades that are obtainable only through mission chains that relate to each Tier X ship available for credits in the tech tree. The aim of these upgrades is to adjust the characteristics of a ship to make it perform better in a specific role or offer an alternative style of gameplay. However, the unique upgrades are mounted into existing slots and have balancing parameters. They are meant to add to the variability of ship loadouts while keeping ships in balance with each other, even if one ship has the unique upgrade and another does not.

These upgrades are available for use in slots 5 and 6, depending on the ship in question. They are mounted normally like other upgrades (only one upgrade in a slot at a time) and can be sold, if desired. Be advised, though, that they cannot be re-earned; selling them is not recommended.

To obtain a unique upgrade, players must complete a chain of 5 combat missions in that ship.^[1] The chain is unlocked after playing one battle in a Tier X ship, and each step must be completed in sequential order. The missions are shared among all types of battles (even Co-Op) and are the same for all Tier X ships. Each ship must initiate their own chain, and can only progress their own missions.

Mission Chain to Earn Unique Upgrade Modules

Mission 1: Earn 100,000 XP (after modifiers are applied).
Mission 2: Earn 8,000,000.
Mission 3: Earn 15,000 Free XP.
Mission 4: Win 15 battles.
Mission 5: Earn 40,000 base XP (before any modifiers are applied).

↑ The non-CV upgrades were briefly available in the Armory for Ironium earned in the 2019 Space Battles event.
↑ In addition to increasing the speed at which the engine spools up, this upgrade appears to increase acceleration away from 0 knots by a large factor (about triple, regardless of speed), making it more powerful than the standard Propulsion Modification 2 which only doubles acceleration and only between -6 and +6 knots. However, like that upgrade, it does not improve deceleration towards 0 knots. Example video.
↑ ^3.0 ^3.1 As of Update 0.8.0 this upgrade remains in game, but may work differently. The upgrade is subject to change or replacement in future updates (0.8.2?).

 These upgrades are available for use in slots 5 and 6, depending on the ship in question. They are mounted normally like other upgrades (only one upgrade in a slot at a time) and can be sold, if desired.  Be advised, though, that they cannot be re-earned; selling them is not recommended.
-To obtain a unique upgrade, players must complete a chain of 5 combat missions in that ship. The chain is unlocked after playing one battle in a Tier X ship, and each step must be completed in sequential order. The missions are shared among all types of battles (even Co-Op) and are the same for all Tier X ships.  Each ship must initiate their own chain, and can only progress their own missions.
