Ship skills

Ship skills have three different types of benefits: they can add abilities to your ship or increase its parameters or boost your personal skills. They can be obtained by building or improving your ships with certain ship parts used in certain combination. Ships skills come in two groups:

 

Original ship skills - can be added to any ship after it has been built and require 1 to 3 Original Ship Permits in order to install. They can also be removed and changed at any time simply by installing new skill. Each ship can have only 1 original ship skill

 

Additional ship skills - can only be added to certain ships when building or improving ship. They cannot be removed or changed unless new ship is build or special astro item used. Each ship can have up to 2 additional ship skills (3 with ship fusion)

 

Table belows shows list of all ship skills. Some of them can be added as original ship skill or additional ship skill. If skill can be added as original ship skill number of Original Ship Permits required to install skill is indicated in the table.
