Two questions:

1. What determines the upgrades available to a ship?

2. Where is the behavior of upgrades defined?

I note that this should be in another forum like help or something. I'll answer them as best I can anyway.

A ship is limited by certain upgrades as what one can fit onto the ship.
Or something like that. Ask someone else.

This is an issue that desperately needs to be added somewhere in the Wiki, because I haven't really seen it around that much.

The upgrades available to a ship are located in the ship's .template file:

Code: Select all

<Upgrade file="reactor_level_3"/>
<Upgrade file="mult_gun_cooler"/>
<upgrade file="add_reactor_capacitance"/>

The template can be generated off of your milspec (aka, the ship unit file with no extension) ship, but I am not sure where to obtain a program to do this. This generator also makes a .blank version, which you can then add the upgrades defined in the .template file to.

Take a look in one of the ship directories in your units folder.

The actual upgrades and how they behave are defined by unit files located in the units/factions/upgrades directory. Just look at a few of the files in there and it should be pretty straightforward.

PS- there is nothing wrong with this question in this forum
