Weapons
Bullet Damage
Everything the ship's gun fires hits harder.
- Damage

Upgrades
What makes a ship stronger mid-match.
Power-ups
Power-ups drop from what you kill, and each one lasts 30s. A ship holds one power-up at a time — while you hold one, any other you fly over stays on the floor for a teammate.
Armor
Reinforced Hull
A deeper health pool that slowly refills, and the bar tops up to match.

- +50
- HP regen
- +2/s
Energy
Overdrive
The ship gets up to speed faster, and its top speed rises with it.
- Acceleration
- ×1.25
Ship parts
Everything you bring home is banked as yours alone — spend its Scrap and Cores on the parts you want at the forge. A ship has 3 slots, and any part goes in any of them, in any combination — each part once. A part goes on the moment it is paid for, into an empty slot; with every slot full you choose which part it replaces, and that one is lost. How strong a pilot is shows on their ship.
- Your own Scrap and Cores. Every part takes one to three Cores, and what you spend on your ship is not spent on a package or a boss for theirs.
- A death costs a part — the last one you mounted.
- The first boss a team kills drops a part, picked at random, and it goes on whoever reaches it first with a slot free and without that part already.

Levels
Every pilot levels up on their own. Each kill of anything hostile earns you experience — the faction's ships, whatever the other team sends, a boss most of all — and a level lands on your ship the moment you have earned it. Nobody buys one. It lasts the match: a death never takes it.
- Being near a kill counts the same. Every teammate close by when something dies earns what the pilot who killed it does — nobody has to fight for the last shot. Rocks pay nothing.
- Your packages fly it too — a package comes out of their gate at the level you sent it at, holding more and hitting harder.
- So do your abilities. What they hit for and what your turrets hold grow with the level's damage and health, and each active grows one number of its own by the Abilities figure — a stun, how long it lasts, how far it reaches, or a teleport's charge, which gets shorter.
- They see it only on your ship, as a health bar that grows.
