• -Crew pilot, maintain and defend ships and stations or can be used to take over other ships and stations.

• -Engines determine the speed and acceleration of a ship.

• -Shields create an extra regenerating layer of defence against hull damage for both ships and stations.

• -Software adds extra functions and capabilities to a ship making piloting and ordering it around easier.

• -Thrusters determine how quickly a ship rotates around the axes.

• -Weapons are fired by the main battery of ships to deal damage to targets.

• -Turrets are used by ships and stations to autonomously fire at targets.
