Ships
Each ship has a Reactor Power, which can be allocated to either Energy, Ordnance or Mass. Each resource can only be allocated a certain amount of Reactor Power. Reactor Power can be reallocated both before and during combat but reallocating it during combat will generate 1 Heat. A ships reactor can be upgraded to increase the amount of Reactor Power and Resource Capacity available. Upgrading the reactor increases Reactor Power by 1 and costs 125 Credits and can be further upgraded with each subsequent upgrade costing 25 additional credits. Upgrading resource capacity increases the maximum amount of Reactor Power that can be allocated and costs 100 Credits the first time and 50 more with each subsequent upgrade. Reactor Power can be upgraded up to 9 times. Resource capacity can be upgraded up to 3 times for each resource.
