==== Mothership Module ====
Vehicles can be improved with upgrade modules, granting them specific improvements to stats, additional actions, or other bonuses.  The number of upgrades a given vehicle can accept is determined by the size of the vehicle (see [[Vehicle Combat#Vehicle Size|Vehicle Size]].  Medium-sized vehicles can only accept a single upgrade module, while larger vehicles can accept more.
 
Upgrade modules take up a number of upgrade module slots based on the vehicle class into which they are being installed.  Vehicle classes which specialize in movement, for example, will nearly always accept movement-improving upgrades as single-slot modules.  However, in a more defensive ship class, movement upgrades might require two or more slots.  It is important to note, however, that any upgrade module can be installed on any vehicle class, assuming that vehicle has enough upgrade module slots to fit it in. 
 
No more than one of each upgrade module may be installed in a vehicle unless the module description explicitly states otherwise.
 
The upgrade modules are a one-time cost when installed into a vehicle, based on the total number of slots it will occupy, not the quantity of upgrades.  That is, an upgrade which requires two slots to install (due to being less congruent with the ship class it is being installed in to) would cost the same as installing two single-slot upgrades.  Refer to the table below to see the cost for the total number of upgrade slots. 
 
To add additional upgrade modules to a vehicle which already has one or more modules already installed, you need only pay the difference between the current total cost and the new total cost.  Note that the cost of module slots is completely independent of vehicle level.  It costs the same to put your first 1-slot module into a level 1 vehicle as it does to put it into a level 35 vehicle.
 
Modules can be moved between vehicles if desired, though the cost to install them in the new vehicle is based on the total number of slots used.  If you wish to move all of your existing modules to a new vehicle which has no modules in it yet, the total number of slots filled (assuming both vehicles have the minimum number of slots to install all of the upgrade modules in question) is unchanged, so there is no cost to do this.

Vehicles can be improved with upgrade modules, granting them specific improvements to stats, additional actions, or other bonuses. The number of upgrades a given vehicle can accept is determined by the size of the vehicle (see Vehicle Size. Medium-sized vehicles can only accept a single upgrade module, while larger vehicles can accept more.

Upgrade modules take up a number of upgrade module slots based on the vehicle class into which they are being installed. Vehicle classes which specialize in movement, for example, will nearly always accept movement-improving upgrades as single-slot modules. However, in a more defensive ship class, movement upgrades might require two or more slots. It is important to note, however, that any upgrade module can be installed on any vehicle class, assuming that vehicle has enough upgrade module slots to fit it in.

No more than one of each upgrade module may be installed in a vehicle unless the module description explicitly states otherwise.

The upgrade modules are a one-time cost when installed into a vehicle, based on the total number of slots it will occupy, not the quantity of upgrades. That is, an upgrade which requires two slots to install (due to being less congruent with the ship class it is being installed in to) would cost the same as installing two single-slot upgrades. Refer to the table below to see the cost for the total number of upgrade slots.

To add additional upgrade modules to a vehicle which already has one or more modules already installed, you need only pay the difference between the current total cost and the new total cost. Note that the cost of module slots is completely independent of vehicle level. It costs the same to put your first 1-slot module into a level 1 vehicle as it does to put it into a level 35 vehicle.

Modules can be moved between vehicles if desired, though the cost to install them in the new vehicle is based on the total number of slots used. If you wish to move all of your existing modules to a new vehicle which has no modules in it yet, the total number of slots filled (assuming both vehicles have the minimum number of slots to install all of the upgrade modules in question) is unchanged, so there is no cost to do this.
