Your ship is your lifeline. It's composed of various systems, each with a specific function. Powering these systems with your reactor is vital. Key systems include: Piloting (for evasion), Engines (for evasion and FTL jumps), Weapons (for offense), Shields (for defense), Medbay (for healing crew), Oxygen (for breathable air), and Doors (for fire control and boarders). Upgrading these systems increases their effectiveness and power capacity.
