Module types

Kinetic weapons on Battery hardpoints. Lock a target and they track on their own; your job is keeping them in range.

Drones ride in cargo and launch with Q while you hover a target.

High-explosive damage. Signature radius doesn't affect missiles, but they can't track cloaked ships. Since Beta Patch 2, launchers fit battery hardpoints, aim at your cursor and fire from visible tubes.

Electronic warfare: subsystem modules aimed at an enemy.

Barrier modules. Max heat capacity suits shield builds; some barriers vent heat if timed like a parry. Since Beta Patch 2, shields have base resistances: 10% kinetic and 30% high-explosive.

Armor plating and repairers. Repairers use repair charges carried in cargo. Since Beta Patch 2, armor has base resistances of 24% kinetic and 20% high-explosive.

Cargo, scanning, salvage and support modules.

Passive drive modules on Propulsion hardpoints. They add thrust and speed, and heat.

One-cell core modules that link to the open ports of modules next to them and strengthen modules of their own type.
