Understanding the Core Concepts
Ships, in Star Citizen, aren't static vehicles; they're platforms that you can reshape. Understanding customization is essential.
- Modularity: Components can be swapped for different roles (fighting, cargo hauling).
- Upgrades: Boost performance, increase capacity, change capabilities.
- Appearance: Personalize aesthetic (colours, paint jobs).
These aren't simple touches; these modifications truly define the experience.
Types of Ship Modifications
Modifying Star Citizen ships has many pathways, allowing customization in diverse aspects:
Weapons Systems
- Type of weaponry: Missiles, lasers, cannons.
- Capacity: The more you add, the more powerful.

Consider this: different weapons are suitable for different situations and combat scenarios!
Engine Upgrades

Faster, better, stronger – that's what these changes deliver!
Shields & Armour

Defense is essential, just as in a real life battle. Protecting your ship and yourself from enemy firepower is key!
