He who hath the best stuff wins. This is the best way to describe the importance of having top of the line guns, missiles, and other equipment in Privateer 2. The more credits you have, the better you can equip your fighters.

Module Enhancements
Once you purchase a ship, you need to load it with different components to increase that ship's ability. A ship with only guns and missiles doesn't cut the mustard for very long in the Tri-System area.

AFTERBURNER ENHANCERS

Model	Price	(%) Increase in speed
Mk I	4000	+10 percent
Mk II	8000	+20 percent
Mk III	14000	+30 percent

Afterburner enhancers increase your speed and acceleration. The Mk III model is not available for purchase until you read the news bulletin with the title "Improved afterburner available."

REPAIR DROIDS

Model	Price	1 unit repaired in
Mk I	8000	5 or 6 seconds
Mk II	16000	3 seconds

Repair Droid enhancers make repairs to your ship while in flight. They activate as soon as there is damage to repair. (Note: Repair droids do not repair armour.) They deactivate when they are finished repairing. To see a repair droid work, press "D" to access the damage control meter VDW. Units are the small rectangle boxes stacked side by side. From left to right you can see the unit meter increase to show the repair droid working. Note: It is very important to have a repair droid!

GUN COOLANT ENHANCERS

Model	Price	Cooling rate (%)
Mk I	6000	+30 percent
Mk II	12000	+50 percent
Mk III	24000	+110 percent
Mk IV	48000	+150 percent

Using guns increases the heat they give off. If they overheat they work improperly, sporadically, or not at all. Your coolant enhancers can help cool the guns during and after use. The more guns you add to your ship, the more important it is to have a good coolant enhancer. Note: When in flight, the gun heat meter is near the bottom. When you fire your guns the meter will "jump up" or increase. When the meter is at full, your guns have overheated and it is time to let them cool. Also, your ship's computer will tell you "Guns overheating" in a audible message.

SHIELD REGENERATION ENHANCERS

Model	Price	Regeneration %(Time)
Mk I	7000	65 percent
Mk II	14000	55 percent
Mk III	25000	50 percent

The shield regeneration enhancers decrease the time it takes to recover your shields. The Mk III is not available until later in the game.

WARP SHIELD ENHANCEMENT

Warp Shield	25000 credits	Makes you invincible for about 20 seconds.

This module is not available until you see the news bulletin with the title "Energize, Captain."
This module works great against larger, multiple turreted ships.

BSE units and the Nuke 'em Bomb
BSE Modules send out viruses through signals towards enemy ships. If successful, the enemy ship's flight controls will shut down for a small period of time. Mk I and Mk II models are available.
Signal Filters Can block viral mines and BSE signals.
The Nuke 'em bomb is loaded as a module, not a missile or weapons mount. This a fun and devastating weapon. All ships with in the blast radius of the Nuke 'em are damaged severely, except yours, if not destroyed. This module is expensive, however, 4,000 credits.

Mines and Decoys
Each mine package includes 10 mines.

Brand	Price	Possible Damage	Notes
Hi-Ex mines	150	900	Basic space mine.
Proximity mines	200	700	Is more sensitive than the Hi-Ex.
Viral mines	350	Control damage	Releases virus towards trigger vessel.

Decoys deflect missiles originally targeted at your ship.

Model	Price	Approx. Success rate range
Mk I	400	60 to 75 percent
Mk II	800	70 to 90 percent
