An Engine Upgrade 1 is a type of component that can be installed on spacecraft to increase the power available to guns and shields. Engine Upgrades are a generator or series of generators.

They are available for sale to privateers at ship dealers. Gabriel Quentin wrote about engines in GEMINI SECTOR: AN OVERVIEW, recommending that spacecraft owners have one higher level of engine upgrade than shield.


Each upgrade is a generator or series of generators that powers your guns and shields. It is our recommendation that you have at least one more level of engine upgrade than levels of shield. Power drain is an important concern that is answered with a sufficient level of generator. Also be aware that the ship you are in may not be able to support as many engine upgrades as you would like. Buy your guns and shields with this in mind.
