Ships & Modules
Every pilot starts with a basic ship. As you earn credits, you can upgrade to specialized vessels and fit them with modules to improve your mining performance, cargo capacity, and more.
Ships
Ships are your hull — they determine your base capabilities and how many modules you can fit. Use /shop and switch to the Ships tab to browse available vessels.
| Ship | Price | Slots | Strengths |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter Ship | Free | 3 | Basic vessel, no bonuses |
| Mining Barge | 50,000¢ | 4 | Higher ore yield, faster recharge |
| Heavy Miner | 150,000¢ | 5 | Maximum yield, faster recharge, extra cargo |
| Explorer Vessel | 40,000¢ | 3 | Better chance of rare discoveries, larger fuel tank |
| Freighter | 60,000¢ | 4 | Massive cargo hold, slightly reduced yield |
One Ship at a Time
You can only fly one ship. Buying a new ship replaces your current one — any fitted modules are automatically returned to your inventory. Choose your ship based on what kind of pilot you want to be.
Module Slots
Each ship has a number of universal module slots. Any module can go in any slot, and you can fit the same module multiple times for compounding effects. More slots means more room to customize.
Modules
Modules are equipment you fit into your ship's slots. Each module provides specific bonuses when fitted. Buy them from the Modules tab in /shop, then fit them using /loadout.
Lasers
Improve your mining output.
| Module | Price | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Mk1 Laser | 2,000¢ | +8% ore yield |
| Mk2 Laser | 8,000¢ | +15% ore yield |
| Mk3 Laser | 30,000¢ | +25% ore yield, +3% chance of hitting multiple veins |
Scanners
Improve your chances of finding rare ore and triggering anomalous discoveries.
| Module | Price | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Survey Scanner | 3,000¢ | Better rare ore detection, +3% anomaly chance |
| Deep Scanner | 15,000¢ | Much better rare ore detection, +7% anomaly chance |
Cargo Modules
Expand your ship's hold.
| Module | Price | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Cargo Expander | 3,000¢ | +300 cargo capacity |
| Cargo Expander Mk2 | 12,000¢ | +800 cargo capacity |
Utility
General-purpose enhancements.
| Module | Price | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Rapid Cycle | 5,000¢ | -8% laser recharge time |
| Rapid Cycle Mk2 | 20,000¢ | -15% laser recharge time |
Stacking
Fitting multiple copies of the same module compounds their effects. For example:
- 1× Mk2 Laser → +15% yield
- 2× Mk2 Laser → +32% yield (1.15 × 1.15)
- 3× Mk2 Laser → +52% yield (1.15 × 1.15 × 1.15)
Each copy must be purchased separately — this makes stacking a significant credit investment with meaningful returns.
The Shop
Run /shop at any station to browse ships and modules.
- Ships tab — compare hulls, slot counts, and base stats
- Modules tab — browse by category (lasers, scanners, cargo, utility)
- Use the dropdown menu to select what you want to buy
- Your current credits and ship info are shown at the top
The Loadout
Run /loadout to view and manage your current fit.
- See your ship, all module slots, and what's fitted in each
- Combined stats are shown at the top — your total yield multiplier, recharge time, and other bonuses
- Fit modules from your inventory into empty slots
- Swap or unfit modules already in a slot
- Your unfitted module inventory is shown at the bottom
You can also access your loadout from the main menu via the 🔧 Loadout button.
Rare Discoveries
When mining with a scanner fitted, there's a chance of triggering a rare discovery — a bonus event on top of your normal ore yield. These appear as a highlighted section in your mining results.
Possible discoveries include:
| Discovery | Reward |
|---|---|
| Dark Matter Pocket | 1–3 Dark Matter |
| Anomaly Fragment | 1–2 Anomaly Fragments |
| Abandoned Cargo | 50–200 credits |
| Fuel Leak Recovery | 10–30 fuel |
| Crystal Geode | 2–5 Crystal Ore |
| Ancient Relic | 1 Ancient Relic (very valuable) |
Better scanners increase the chance of triggering these events. Without a scanner, rare discoveries cannot occur.
Stat Reference
| Stat | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Yield | How much ore your lasers extract per mining cycle |
| Cooldown | Laser recharge time between mining cycles |
| Rare Events | Chance of discovering anomalies, relics, or hidden deposits |
| Rare Ore | Sensor sensitivity to valuable mineral signatures |
| Cargo | Additional hold space beyond your base capacity |
| Drops | Chance of hitting multiple ore veins in a single cycle |
| Fuel | Additional fuel tank capacity |
Ship base stats and module bonuses all stack together into your combined stats, visible in /loadout.
