Core upgrades · 5

Skirmish Fire Control200
Outer targeting band55% output beyond native range

Adds a +50% outer targeting band. Attacks, repairs, and boarding channels operate at 55% output beyond native range, and armed squads hold that safer line.

Breach Capacitors250
+60% breach damage-15% outside the breach band

Converts the squad into a breacher: it closes to 45% range and deals +60% damage there, but deals 15% less outside the breach band.

Reactive Bulkheads250
30% hull-loss cap per hit-12% thrust / -18% static integrity

No single hit can strip more than 30% of maximum hull after shields. Mobile units lose 12% thrust; static emplacements lose 18% maximum integrity. Strong into alpha strikes, weak into rapid fire.

Threshold Deflector300
Shield-break overflow gateMust recharge to 25% to re-arm

Adds 250 shield. If at least 25% charged, a breaking hit loses all hull overflow; the gate re-arms only after recharge reaches 25%.

Vector Afterburners150
+65% pursuit thrustHalf turn authority while burning

Burns at +65% speed while marching or closing on its chosen standoff, then disengages in combat; turn authority is halved during the burn.
