Upgrades
Upgrades add on to Equipment to give them additional abilities or modifiers. They require maintenance at the same time as the Equipment, adding an extra Maintenance Kit to the total.
All upgrades will state what Equipment they are intended to be used on. They can be added to and taken off this Equipment freely.
If you choose to install it on something else, you must take it to the COMMAND HUB. There you will be issued with an amended Lammie based on what it’s being installed on. Due to the customisation, this will be a permanent installation and will not be able to be removed to add to something else.
Modifiers
Modifiers can be added to Equipment using Upgrades. These are extra rules that affect how an item is used. They are typically found on items discovered during the game, and are not purchasable in the Ship’s Shop initially.
Some examples of modifiers you may encounter are:
- Volatile: this item cannot be stored without a suitable volatile-proof container.
- Resilient: if this item would become damaged beyond use (for example, if it is Crushed), this upgrade is damaged instead.
- SFL: this container can now safely contain a living specimen, size appropriate. Creatures may try to escape.
- Vampiric: this item may be charged by the player losing 1 HP instead of using 1 Power.
