Spacecraft Technology

This section is in need of revision. Please help improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page. The reason given is: Study and gather data from this spread sheet.

Spacecraft benefit from technology advancement, such as new systems become available or increased functionally. This table explains what advancing technology will do.

Commonly all spacecraft systems get a 5% performance increase per tech level.

** Includes basic weapon; Ballistic Weapon Bay, Weapon Launcher Bay, Weapon Deployment Bay. And basic harvester bays; Prospector Bay, Siphon Bay.

*** Includes Surgery Medical.

However, new designs and ships have different limits due to them using hull volume for TL instead of mass. The volume of the hull, in cubic meters per TL, is shown below.
