Active module

Active Modules

Active Modules are trigger Abilities/Skills that can be bought or sold and fitted into slots that are numbered One(1) through Four(4). Once modules are placed they can be used by pressing a number on the keyboard corresponding to the numbered location of the module.

The amount of Active Modules per ship depends on the Tech level of said ship. Current ships have no less than two and no more than four Active Module slots. Some modules may be used by all classes of ship while others are specific to certain roles.

Each Module has a tier or "Mk." with each higher rank gaining greater efficiency. Mk.I and Mk.II are readily available to ships meeting Tech requirements but Mk.III must be unlocked by reaching a required Rank of Reputation in a Sub Faction.

Hierarchy of Module Efficiency

	Mk I	The first level of item, bought from the warehouse with credits.
	Mk II	Created by upgrading a Mk I item, either by paying credits or applying an upgrade kit found as loot.
	Mk III	Created by upgrading a Mk II item either with Galactic Standards or Loyalty Vouchers from the correct faction for that item.
	Experimental	The most powerful kind of item. Created by upgrading a Mk III item with an experimental upgrade kit, or by paying Artifacts.
