Category:Equipment

This category contains the various Equipment you can install on your ships.

Hardpoints

External equipment is mounted onto hardpoints. The following equipment are all attached to external hardpoints

• Mass Drivers
• Energy Weapons
• Drones
• Detachable equipment such as Cargo Containers, the B8 Claim Beacon, the NT Mining Companion, and the External Impact Absorber

Different types of hardpoints -- high-stress, low-stress, drone hardpoints, and docking bays -- can accommodate different equipment.

Internal Storage

Ships have storage in the form of

• Kinetic Ammunition used by Mass Drivers
• Nanodrone Components used by Drones
• Propellant Tanks for the Reaction Control System, Main Propulsion, and Powerplant
• Cargo Bay that stores unprocessed ore and cargo, and may contain a mineral processing unit to process ore into processed minerals.

Thrusters

Thrusters consume propellant and use heat and electrical power to accelerate the ship.

• Reaction Control Systems provide fine maneuvering and rotational control
• Main Propulsion

Power

The power system consists of the following

• Reactor Core that provides thermal power used by thrusters, the powerplant, auxiliary generators, and some other equipment
• Powerplant that consumes thermal power to produce electrical power
• Ultracapacitor Array that store excess electrical energy to be used during peak demand
• Auxiliary Power Unit either an additional electrical generator or an electrical energy storage system

Electronics

A ships electronics consist of

• Autopilot that maintains a stable velocity and orientation of the ship
• Head-Up Display to display to the pilot the status of the ship, its systems, and external sensors
• Reconnaissance Craft that provides an external view of the ship
