The Upgrade panel

Overview[]

Upgrade is an ingame UI tab that allows the user to upgrade their ships' performance. It is available through the Refining ingame UI. You can upgrade your lasers, rockets, speed generators and shield generators.

Upgrading[]

To upgrade, you need to drag one of the prime ores towards the component that you can upgrade with that ore. Adding a prime ore unit on a laser or rocket adds 10 units of that ore on 'em and adding a prime ore unit on speed generators or shields gives 10 minutes of on 'em.

Possible Upgrades[]

You can only upgrade using primed ores. The following table shows what prime ore you can use to upgrade one of the four aspects of your ship and the strenght of the boost.

Prime Ore Peformance

Prometidd Prometid +15% +15% Doesn't boost Doesn't boost
Duranium Duranium Doesn't boost Doesn't boost +10% +10%
Promerium Promerium +30% +30% +20% +20%
Seprom Seprom +60% +60% Doesn't boost +40%
Osmium Osmium +50% +50% Doesn't boost +50%

Tips[]

  • Most players recommend upgrading your ship before PvP fights against other players, rather than wasting it on aliens.
  • In the early game, it's recommended to use Leonov and upgrade your rockets with Prometid till you can get Promerium reliably using Skylab. You should also upgrade your generators with Promerium as quick as you can, since getting a speed upgrade for theoretically free is the best thing you shouldn't back off from.
  • Upgrading before Galaxy Gate waves is also commonly used to quickly finish the gate.
