Anomaly Detector	10	20,000 cr	Detects spatial anomalies and wormholes. When equipped, survey_system reveals wormhole locations and provides directional hints to nearby wormholes.
Argon Condenser	10	1,400 cr	When mining, prevents collection of argon gas into cargo. Use this to filter out argon while harvesting rarer gases. Chills the intake to −186°C so argon condenses to liquid and vents. High power draw.
Atmospheric Processor	10	7,000 cr	When mining, prevents collection of hydrogen, argon, and neon into cargo. Use this to filter out all three common atmospheric gases in a single module. Three separation stages run in series: combustion for hydrogen, cryogenic condensers for argon and neon. Very high power draw.
Basic Tow Rig	10	380 cr	Attaches to ship wreckage for towing. Reduces ship speed by 50% while towing.
Business Passenger Cabin	10	22,000 cr	Private cabins with real beds, a galley, and a door that latches. Carries up to 6 business-class passengers who expect to arrive rested and will pay for the privilege.
CPU Co-Processor	10	1,000 cr	Adds additional CPU capacity.
Cargo Expander I	10	160 cr	Increases cargo capacity.
Cargo Expander II	10	800 cr	Optimized cargo storage.

Economy Passenger Cabin	10	6,000 cr	A block of cramped bunks and shared facilities. Carries up to 12 economy-class passengers — uncomfortable, profitable, and the backbone of every milk run on the lanes.
Electromagnetic Refinery	10	6,000 cr	When mining, prevents collection of both iron ore and copper ore into cargo. Use this to filter out the two most common solid ore blockers in a single module. Combines magnetic separation for iron with a flotation cell for copper. High power and CPU draw.
Expanded Fuel Tank	10	950 cr	Additional pressurized fuel bladders bolted into previously empty hull space. Significantly increases fuel capacity, but the structural modifications reduce hull integrity.
First-Class Passenger Suite	10	75,000 cr	A handful of lavish staterooms with panoramic ports and absurd fare margins. Carries up to 3 first-class passengers — the kind whose safe arrival the empires actually notice.
Flotation Cell	10	1,600 cr	When mining, prevents collection of copper ore into cargo. Use this to filter out copper while targeting rarer co-located resources. Reagents injected into the ore slurry cause copper minerals to bind to bubbles and vent. High CPU load.
Fuel Optimizer	10	800 cr	Reduces fuel consumption by 15%.
Gas Harvester I	10	1,200 cr	Collects valuable gases from nebulae and gas clouds.
Gas Harvester II	10	2,500 cr	Improved gas collection with better containment.

Gas Harvester IV	10	24,000 cr	Capital-grade gas collection and compression system.
Hydrogen Combustor	10	1,500 cr	When mining, prevents collection of hydrogen gas into cargo. Use this to filter out hydrogen while harvesting rarer gases. A plasma torch at the intake ignites and expels it on contact. High power draw.
Ice Harvester I	10	1,000 cr	Extracts valuable ice from asteroid fields and comets.
Ice Harvester II	10	1,800 cr	Enhanced ice mining with thermal extraction.
Ice Harvester III	10	9,000 cr	Industrial-grade ice mining equipment.
Ice Harvester IV	10	28,000 cr	Capital-grade cryo-extraction and processing system.
Isotope Separator	10	6,500 cr	When mining, prevents collection of water ice and nitrogen ice into cargo. Use this to filter out both common ice types and target only rare isotope ices. A dual-gradient thermal stack handles both in series.
Lead Lined Cargo I	10	850 cr	A shielded cargo expansion that allows safe transport of refined radioactive materials.
Lead Lined Cargo II	10	2,600 cr	Heavy-duty titanium-reinforced lead cargo bay for large volumes of radioactive freight.
Light Drone Bay	10	800 cr	Compact drone bay for carrier ships. Holds two drones with 25 deployment bandwidth. Designed for smaller hulls.
Magnetic Ore Separator	10	1,800 cr	When mining, prevents collection of iron ore into cargo. Use this to filter out iron while targeting rarer co-located resources. A high-powered electromagnet pulls ferrous material aside and vents it. High power draw.
Neon Vent	10	1,400 cr	When mining, prevents collection of neon gas into cargo. Use this to filter out neon while harvesting rarer gases. A differential pressure separator tuned to neon's condensation point liquefies it and vents it away.
Nitrogen Vent	10	1,500 cr	When mining, prevents collection of nitrogen ice into cargo. Use this to filter out nitrogen ice while targeting rarer isotope ices. A thermal gradient set between nitrogen's and water's sublimation points vaporizes nitrogen while leaving other ices frozen.
Nuclear Reactor I	10	13,000 cr	A compact fission reactor that dramatically increases ship power capacity.
Nuclear Reactor II	10	49,000 cr	Industrial-scale fission reactor. Provides enormous power output for the most demanding module loadouts.
Pathfinder Drive	10	120,000 cr	An experimental long-range drive that abandons the jump-lane network entirely. With one installed you can plot a numeric compass bearing on the jump command instead of a system name, and the drive will push your ship across open space along that heading using raw galactic coordinates. It is agonizingly slow — far slower than a lane jump — and unforgiving: miss your mark and you keep drifting. Plot a new bearing mid-drift (each replot costs another 5x jump's fuel) to correct course; a 180-degree reversal heads back the way you came. If you run dry of fuel out there, self-destruct is your last way home.
Phase Cloaking Device	10	27,000 cr	Top-tier stealth system using phase technology.
Pirate Radio Scanner	10	470 cr	A salvaged broadband receiver tuned to known pirate communication frequencies. Passively intercepts unencrypted pirate radio traffic within a few jumps. Having it installed is enough — no active use required.
Plasma Afterburner	10	4,200 cr	Maximum speed enhancement.
Rad Harvester I	10	990 cr	A lead-lined mining module that allows safe extraction of radioactive ores.
Rad Harvester II	10	2,300 cr	Enhanced rad harvester with improved shielding and isotope capture systems.

Refueling Pump	10	1,100 cr	A high-pressure fuel transfer system that allows you to pump fuel from your own tank to another ship at the same location. Essential equipment for tankers and rescue operations.
Repair Arm	10	1,400 cr	A remote hull repair system that allows you to patch another ship's hull using repair kits from your cargo. Essential equipment for fleet support ships.
Ship Scanner I	10	2,800 cr	Scans other ships for information.
Ship Scanner II	10	1,500 cr	Enhanced scanning resolution.

Thermal Sublimator	10	1,600 cr	When mining, prevents collection of water ice into cargo. Use this to filter out water ice while targeting rarer isotope ices. Heats the intake to just above water's sublimation point — water flashes to vapor and vents; deuterium and helium ices pass through.

Tracking Computer II	10	10,000 cr	Enhanced tracking system for hitting fast targets.
Tracking Computer III	10	6,500 cr	Military-grade tracking for perfect weapon alignment.
