Navigational BeaconHazard Warning Beacons are placed by civilian militias to mark out the trade routes indangerous sectors, they emit pulses of light that show the trade lanes between gates andstations. By flying close to these beacons you can be assured of a safe flight, although piratessometimes use these trade routes as target practice.Ore CollectorAfter ore has been broken up by a mobile drilling system, the smaller rocks can be broughtinto the cargo bay using this device. It works by targeting the smaller rocks with a lowpowered gravity beam, bringing the ore into the bay ready to be sold.Police licenseAfter buying this license, pilots are accepted as a Police authority by all space stations andfactories in the given Races’ territory. They are automatically paid for the elimination ofoutlawed ships. You will need to have a good reputation with races before they will trust youenough to allow you to purchase a Police licence.Rudder OptimisationThis service is a time-limited special available only now. Specialists in rudder control willhand-optimise your ship's manoeuvring thrusters to make the ship easier to control than everbefore, allowing for complicated manoeuvres and advanced tactics.Salvage InsuranceSalvage Insurance allows valuable and vital personal, financial and tactical data to besecurely downloaded to a central database for retrieval following a catastrophic loss. Thisinsurance policy is well worth taking out at the start of journeys, trading or combat missions,as it protects a ship and its pilot from the loss of all endeavours, enterprise and acquiredknowledge.Singularity Engine Time AcceleratorThis product is based on the phenomenon of the time and space anomaly observed in thepresence of a singularity. The SETA is an attachment to the ship's normal operational engine,which can, when activated, compress time up to ten fold. Due to the constraints of the spacetimecompression technology it is not possible to alter one's course and velocity. The devicewill be deactivated as soon as any interference to the ship's controls are detected. Theinvention was clearly made to shorten travel across vast distances. No known side effectsexist but they cannot be ruled out.Spacefly CollectorAlthough illegal, Spacefly collecting has become a lucrative endeavour in the universe. Thesesmall creatures are stunned by an Ion weapon and then collected by this device for securestorage in the ship’s hold. These Spaceflies can then be sold for an easy profit to anyone whowill take them. This activity is illegal but within pirate communities it has become a way of life.Space SuitThis technologically advanced space suit keeps the wearer warm and shielded from radiationand offers some manoeuvrability but gives little protection against laser weapons.Special Command SoftwareThis software upgrade installs commands to allow ships to pick up cargo floating in space,usually after a ship has been destroyed. It is also invaluable for mining.73Strafe Drive ExtensionThis extension allows a ship to manoeuvre, using enhanced thruster assemblies, in thevertical and horizontal axes without changing aspect, making possible some advancedsteering manoeuvres. This has proved to be such an essential upgrade that they becamestandard equipment that was included in the build of all ships.
