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.

Special Upgrades
Special upgrades are upgrades that are obtainable only through supercontainers. 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 (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.
