CONSUMABLE
(Fully restores your Research Units) Cycle Bursts can be generated when AIs working on research projects benefit from receiving the distilled analysis of OTHER AIs working on the same problem. These are called AI Cycle Bursts.
AI Data Crystal
CONSUMABLE
A new use for this old tech has turned a once-dead hunk of plastic and metal into a useful tool. AI Data Crystals are discarded by regenabots during repairs, it being simpler for them to make a new one than to repair the old. Originally considered useless, free captains recently discovered that these used memory crystals contain a vague imprint of an AIs consciousness and, more importantly, an imprint of the protocols which had been implemented on board the ship. Unfortunately, they seldom can be used for extended periods, because the increased functionality quickly degrades as the imprint is replaced with that of the host ship's AI.
AI Data Pack
CONSUMABLE
(Restores 50 Research Units) AIs working on research projects benefit from receiving the distilled analysis of OTHER AIs working on the same problem. If the analysis is complete, it is termed a Cycle Burst. If incomplete, it is known as an AI Data Pack. Intercepting such can power your own AI substantially and provide breakthroughs in Research.

Like any upgrade, it will never leave its owner's ship.
Aldebaran
Probets
Ancient texts tell us that the name translates to "follower" when referring to the star, but with this equipped you will be nothing of the sort!
Alpha Centauri Rum
CONSUMABLE
Sought after by many crews and captains, breaking open this rum boosts morale and bravery. Better yet, the crew stops stealing coolant and engine fluid - this boosts available fuel, at least until the rum runs out (adds 1 to original maximum fuel, restores 1 fuel when consumed). Maximum Fuel bonuses from different item types stack.

Inertial Neutraliser
General Relativity redefined the concept of inertia. The device uses an exotic energy generator to enhance the effects of geodesic relativistic deviation so as to apparently violate the Newtonian laws of inertial motion. The upside of this is enhanced speed as engines have less effective mass to push against as well as extra energy for shields and weapons. Unfortunately, the basic materials needed are extremely rare.
Inertial Neutraliser - NOM
Nanometer-scale Optimization Modules bundle raw materials with single-use nanomachines which uniquely integrate components into a ship. Efficiency and effectiveness are progressively increased, but this irreversible process of meshing items with ships makes upgraded items useless for sale or spare parts. As a result, they are bound to a single captain and AI system and cannot be traded.
Ion Pulse Heavy Cannon
A basic weapon without accuracy or finesse but compensated for with pure size.
Iridescent Refractory Particles
Probets
This device shoots an array of highly reflective particles toward the target, causing low visibility by both the reflected light and the fact they get stuck. on. everything.
Jelly Baby
CONSUMABLE
Known to be enjoyed by Timelords, these citrus flavored Jelly Beans increase research but come with some side effects.
Kifo
Probets
Also known as the Tree of Life, this increases your Shields, and your max HP.
Koira
Probets
A Pirate's best friend!
Large Bomb
CONSUMABLE
Large, low-signature electronic disruption circuits; when triggered they can severely disrupt or even destroy energy systems. An AI transport was intercepted. A limited number were flung into space...

Letter of Marque
CONSUMABLE
Prevents other players from initiating online attacks (not raids) on you while you are at Mars Station. You cannot raid any player while active nor perform an attack against an online player while the effect lasts (any station).
Linked Nanobot Casing
Atomic-sized Nanobots coaxed into protecting specific portions of the ship can provide amazing strength allowing for less mass and superior protection. While limited, the effect is still astounding, however there is a constant energy cost to keep the links.
Linked Nanobot Casing - NOM
Nanometer-scale Optimization Modules bundle raw materials with single-use nanomachines which uniquely integrate components into a ship. Efficiency and effectiveness are progressively increased, but this irreversible process of meshing items with ships makes upgraded items useless for sale or spare parts. As a result, they are bound to a single captain and AI system and cannot be traded.
Loco-motive Engine
Probets
A boost to your engines that uses an ancient technology of rotating cams and levers to propel fuel into the tank. If it's crazy and it works, it ain't crazy!
Long Eared Chocolate Rabbit
CONSUMABLE
It is a testament to man's oft-perverse nature that, in the years following the Starcrash, the lost knowledge and resources which were most keenly mourned were also quite often the most trivial. The recent discovery of the missing shipment of Venusian Bars stirred human scientists to synthesize ingredients and produce more of that singular substance, chocolate. While some captains maintain that the lighter flavour of the "V-Heart" pales in comparison to that of the Venusian Bars, most rapidly grow to yearn for the wave of exhilaration and high spirits brought on by its consumption.
Long Haul Yaw Roaming Receptacle of Ubiquitous Shifting
Probets
The name is a mouthful, but this device provides increased control of your ship, and quick "zips" between locations to aid in evasion during combat.
Long-Use Computer Kludge
CONSUMABLE
Sometimes all you need is a little boost to shift the odds in your favour. Consisting of space junk and spare parts, and supporting only the most basic programming, the computer kludge looks and functions like something from a garbage heap. The moving parts are barely holding together, and will definitely not last permanently, but with some skill, and a little Luck, you'll get the fighting edge you need.
Lupus
Neural
Its namesake, the wolf, may not be a master of the sprint, but it endures for the long run as it chases down its quarry.
Lux
Probets
Faster Than Light travel has eluded us for centuries, and with this item...that elusion continues. Increases your Speed and Research.
Lyra
Neural
The Lyre was a harp constructed from a tortoise shell. This Lyra is an ideal addition to your turtle build.
Macaw
Enigma
The original Macaw's feathers and plumes are streamlined and distracting. Taking wisdom from that glittering plumage, this adapter boosts your ship's performance in a way that a Captain would be stunned about.
Martian AIGuide
Enigma
An embossed star with N and an arrow pointing towards it. This was given to you by Carter to help you navigate to the control center.
Martian Whisky Shot
CONSUMABLE
A popular drink in the slums of Mars. Loved by many a Martian in Newton. Particular properties ensure longer excursions are possible outside the domes. The hangover, though, bites back.
Mauler Array
A surprisingly devastating array of various common beam weapons coupled with disabled engine safety overrides to siphon what the creators call 'excess engine output' into weapons. This motley configuration of parts and lesser weapons destroys anything in its path, but partially cripples any ship whose captain is crazy enough to mount one.
Mauler Array - NOM
Nanometer-scale Optimization Modules bundle raw materials with single-use nanomachines which uniquely integrate components into a ship. Efficiency and effectiveness are progressively increased, but this irreversible process of meshing items with ships makes upgraded items useless for sale or spare parts. As a result, they are bound to a single captain and AI system and cannot be traded.
Microzeta Launcher
Probets
A unique weapon that is loaded with multiple self-controlled drones. These small machines launch from a parent bullet and wreak havoc upon the target with small impact weapons, and electric prods. High misfire as the drones do not respond to commands very well.
Military Targeting Comp. - NOM
Nanometer-scale Optimization Modules bundle raw materials with single-use nanomachines which uniquely integrate components into a ship. Efficiency and effectiveness are progressively increased, but this irreversible process of meshing items with ships makes upgraded items useless for sale or spare parts. As a result, they are bound to a single captain and AI system and cannot be traded.

Scavenged from a Martian Interceptor, this predictive targeting unit adapts to all known weapons decreasing misfire chances and augmenting other weapons considerably though with a corresponding energy drain.
Minotaur
Enigma
The brute power of the Minotaur is known far and wide.
Mixed Material Shield Array
Probets
This shield array is composed of a hash of other materials collected from space junk, or the remains of enemies.
Mjolnir
A Unique Item: Star Pirate legend says this was fashioned by the AI Council to defeat some great unknown threat. It is a highly effective weapon with exceptional range. It was provided to the Captain of the first Ship to Reach the mystical Level 60.
Moderately Effective Destruction Assistance Loadout
AI
This augment helps to improve the power of a ship's weapon systems. Many captains believe that powerful shots are an important asset, and that having this augment installed is like a badge of honour.
Muffled Protocol
Protocol
Whether it be gravitational pressure, passive radiation or broadcasts, spaceships make "noise". The Muffled Protocol aims to reduce these emissions. Cutting internal lighting and maintaining a minimum profile to your target can delay recognition and provide stealth.
Mysterious Stabilizer
Enigma
Farcasting can be a rocky road and even rockier when your stabilizing unit is not calibrated for it. The origin, and workings of this unit are not well understood.
Natalis
Probets
An ancient word meaning "birthplace," this will make you feel reborn!
Navigation Disruptor
Probets
This device lands on a target and disrupts the Navigation system, causing the ship to go "Kwazy" and spin out of control.
NEO
Probets
This mysterious device makes you feel brand new!
Neutron Emitter Array
Multiple streams of concentrated beams of neutrons. Generally a reliable weapon yet prone to sporadic system safety shutdowns to stop the unit from exploding!
Norsu
Probets
A big, big cannon. This weapon is so powerful, that the recoil can damage shields.
Notorious Day Token
CONSUMABLE
This will provide one day of Notorious Day status - it can only be used by the player who has earned it. Notorious days expire at 20:00 server time - the best time to cash this in is at 20:05 (it is wise to wait a few minutes to ensure the server has completed the daily rollup as there is a lot of activity then and delays while rare can occur).
Notorious for 1 Week (7 Days)
CONSUMABLE
Adds 7 Notorious Days to your account when used. Can be given to other players.
Optional Cup Holder
AI
Reduces rum spillage due to enemy weapons fire, and bolsters the AI's self esteem.
Orion
Neural
Perhaps the Original Great Hunter, Orion was strong, fast, and cunning.
Orpiment Cluster Rocket
Probets
Arsenic sulfide in this weapon causes the target to be turned a ghastly yellow. Oh, and the target is also poisoned.
OverAMP Engines Protocol
Protocol
Running engines hotter for longer is not just a project for the Engineering department; the rest of the systems must be aggressively monitored for overload. The OverAMP Engines Protocol allows for that, but at the trade off of reduced focus on other procedures.
OverAMP Gunnery Protocol
Protocol
Weapons can be fired with more power and throughput under this protocol but systems throughout the ship need be aggressively tweaked for constant resulting power fluctuations. Cue maniacal laughter.
Overamped Laser Battery
The Overamped Laser Battery is a grouping of Laser Beams that have been pushed past their normal fault tolerance. This is immensely powerful but can fail at any time. It also interferes with the Shields and causes feedback on the Engines.
Overamped Laser Battery - NOM
Nanometer-scale Optimization Modules bundle raw materials with single-use nanomachines which uniquely integrate components into a ship. Efficiency and effectiveness are progressively increased, but this irreversible process of meshing items with ships makes upgraded items useless for sale or spare parts. As a result, they are bound to a single captain and AI system and cannot be traded.
Overwhelming Roguish Charm of Kane
An upgraded Smiter, this weapon was created when its owner upgraded it to Mk V using Pulsar Beam NOMs. Due to the unique nature of the Smiter (and its owner's likewise unique ego, as well), the NOMs caused the weapon to deviate in appearance from that of a standard PB. It is claimed by some that this resulted in the bonding of its owner's roguish charm to the Smiter. In any case, the resulting item is truly unique. Like any upgrade, it will never leave its owner's ship.
Pandura
Enigma
The pandura was an ancient guitar. This Pandura Adapter emits a unique sound that tunes your ship's shields.
Pavo
Neural
The Peacock's plumes are admired for their breath-taking brilliance. This interface will boost your ship's performance in ways any captain can admire.
Pegasus
Neural
Like its namesake; swift, powerful and always a surprise.
Perseus
Neural
This constellation depicts a great warrior whose exploits were second only to those of Hercules.
Phalanx Protocol
Protocol
The ACAIs have determined a very effective protocol for improving the defensive system, but that comes at a cost of weapons and Engines. A ship's Captain has to hope the trade-off is worth it.
Phaser Emitter
Creating waves of high probability of quark appearance and disappearance the phaser wreaks havoc on electrical and electronic systems, passing through armour with ease although the particle streams are not reliable to materialize within the vulnerable portions of the enemy vessel.
Phaser Emitter - NOM

Pieces of Eight
CONSUMABLE
Pieces of Eight harken back to their namesakes of naval sailing days. They are worth less than a cargo, but can be shared as tokens of goodwill. Or ill will depending upon the sender.
Plasma Cannon
Creating an energy vacuum makes for a hot time when a high energy source follows right behind - like your target's engine. Assuming of course that the vacuum is used - and doesn't cause a sympathetic effect around YOUR engine...
Plasma Cannon - NOM
Nanometer-scale Optimization Modules bundle raw materials with single-use nanomachines which uniquely integrate components into a ship. Efficiency and effectiveness are progressively increased, but this irreversible process of meshing items with ships makes upgraded items useless for sale or spare parts. As a result, they are bound to a single captain and AI system and cannot be traded.
Pollux
Probets
One of two items with similar properties that enhance all three of Weapons, Shields and Engines.
Precision Firing Module
While originally designed for station mounted defensive weapons, Free Captains have adapted the systems to improve weapon and shield energy output levels. Newer stations use more modern modules making these after market modifications hard to come by.
Precision Firing Protocol
Protocol
This is similar to but far superior to the Targeting Protocol. This provides a clear system for the Gunnery section to target enemies weak points at a slower pace but with greater precision.
Procyon
Enigma
The constellation Procyon gives its name, in part to the Racoon. While not a mighty warrior, the Racoon more than makes up in surprise, what it lacks in formal combat abilities.
Prodigious Upright Gun
Probets
Show your pugnaciousness with this weapon! This laser array features a short muzzle, allowing for a wider spread and damage across more parts of the target.
Pulsar Beam
Triggering a web-like grid of crisscrossing radiation stripes, the Pulsar Beam is a highly effective weapon with exceptional range. The broad effect radius makes it a challenge to ensure the full power is brought to bear on the enemy vessel.
Pulsar Beam - NOM
Nanometer-scale Optimization Modules bundle raw materials with single-use nanomachines which uniquely integrate components into a ship. Efficiency and effectiveness are progressively increased, but this irreversible process of meshing items with ships makes upgraded items useless for sale or spare parts. As a result, they are bound to a single captain and AI system and cannot be traded.
Pumpkin Bomb
CONSUMABLE
Use it before it's gone!!! --- AKA A highly explosive device with a smooth spherical shape - throw and count to 3. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. This will disappear mid-April, so use them!!
Quality Control Protocol
Protocol
ACAIs realise that simple checklists are one of the most effective ways of reducing mistakes. A ship with an active Quality Control Protocol lives (more often) and dies (less often) by their checklists.
Quantum Decoherence Generator
CONSUMABLE
With a focused decoherence wave, it is possible to disrupt the AI and critical systems of an enemy ship. Even a ship's regenabots will be affected making them very vulnerable until their on board AI reboots. Sadly, the components involved in such a device do not last long and have been declared illegal tech by the AI Council.
QuarterMass Gumdrop
CONSUMABLE
These high intensity mint gumdrops allow the user to focus extremely hard on Research, learning as much as possible in a very short amount of time. However, they also leave the user extremely drained for the same amount of time afterward.
Refinement
Enigma
Refinement helps with refining your targeting and bandwidth of your weapons to assist and focus aim and damage.
Reflective Field Dynamo
This is the state of the art in Pacifist reflective defense technology, providing a sizeable boost to shields. On top of this standard benefit, the dynamo absorbs energy from attacks to be reused in part in the engines for fast getaways. The remainder of weapons fire is reflected back at attackers, allowing the Pacifists to technically refrain from harming living beings.
Reflective Field Dynamo - NOM
Nanometer-scale Optimization Modules bundle raw materials with single-use nanomachines which uniquely integrate components into a ship. Efficiency and effectiveness are progressively increased, but this irreversible process of meshing items with ships makes upgraded items useless for sale or spare parts. As a result, they are bound to a single captain and AI system and cannot be traded.
Regenabot Summoner
CONSUMABLE
This kit will emit a distress call for Regenabots. Packing a huge amount of sending power in a small package, the unit is destroyed after use.
Rekall Plating
This plating protects, as all good Armour should, but has specialized technology enabling ships systems to research deeper, and with upgrades, faster. Though that can make the Captain and ship AI distracted. It seems to tap into memories that aren't even yours. Or perhaps, even human.

Research Augmentation Device
AI
The use of this device allows captains to redirect some power to their research efforts, but this could have unfortunate side effects if caught in a combat situation.
Research Control
Hybrid
Efficiencies from combining Sol AI and ACAI knowledge synthesis provide superior micro control.
Reticulum
Neural
The grid of fine lines used in the focus of an optical instrument are called a reticle. Properly used, Reticulum will focus your aim and make every shot count.
Rhodium Shield Enhancement
Probets
This "Lustre"ous material is hard, expensive, and very reflective. Increases Shields and XP, and has a lovely secondary effect of temporarily blinding your opponent.
Rigel
Probets
Named after a blue supergiant in the Orion Constellation, this will turn your ship into a supergiant as well, with more colour choices!
Roll of Duct Tape
CONSUMABLE
The versatility of the most inglorious of substances ensured its survival into the current age. Desperate spacefarers have been known to use it in place of proper repair work (10% of damage is repaired when used - this reduces Ship Yard time by 1 minute).
Science Batch and Fuel Controls
Hybrid
Efficiencies from combining Sol AI and ACAI knowledge synthesis provide superior micro control. When run in parallel the insights from competing and complementary systems are staggering.
Science Fact Protocol
Protocol
Science-focused vessels have a natural advantage in running their own researches. And this protocol is -- for science!
Scorpius
Enigma
This adapter is marked clearly with the Scorpion constellation. Legend says you do not want one riding on your back. Full of surprise and damage.
Scutum
Neural
Nothing like extra shielding for fending off shots from an enemy.
Scylla
Enigma
Mighty adapter to be plugged in; in reference to the Ancient Monster of the Sea with 12 tentacles and 6 dog heads that guarded one side of the Strait of Messina.
Shields Control
Hybrid
Efficiencies from combining Sol AI and ACAI knowledge synthesis provide superior micro control.
Signature Scrambler Circuit
A Military grade device used to minimize and distort ship emissions. Somewhat legendary, this unit is said to make it impossible to locate a Star Pirate who doesn't want to be found.
Signature Scrambler Circuit - NOM
Nanometer-scale Optimization Modules bundle raw materials with single-use nanomachines which uniquely integrate components into a ship. Efficiency and effectiveness are progressively increased, but this irreversible process of meshing items with ships makes upgraded items useless for sale or spare parts. As a result, they are bound to a single captain and AI system and cannot be traded.
Sirius
CONSUMABLE
Named for the first star to rise in the sky on old Earth, this item increases your max Research and critical chance.
Slip Stream Drive
CONSUMABLE
This small canister is manufactured in secret by the AI Council. When applied to a drive unit, it releases what appears to be a stream of nanites into the drive systems. Beyond that, any knowledge of its function is the sole property of the AI Council. The technology boost it grants is temporary and short-lived, as the substance reverses its modifications when its limited uses are consumed.
Small Bomb
CONSUMABLE
Small, non-descript, low-signature electronic disruption circuits; when triggered they can wreak havoc with energy systems.
Smiter
A Unique Item: after an intense fight with a Pod Destroyer, this weapon was salvaged by Mr Awesome, Captain of the first Ship to Reach Level 90. It is a highly effective weapon with exceptional range.
Snowball Bomb
CONSUMABLE
Small focused laser matrices causing atoms to sharply reduce Brownian motion. The result is an extreme but localized drop in pressure and temperature. While a failure for the original superconductor intention, enterprising individuals have realized these can make deadly bombs.
Snowflake
CONSUMABLE
A beautiful, yet delicate souvenir from the outermost parts of the system. Known to many but seen by few, these items have a short half life, and expire quickly.
Stabilizer Module
The use of many modified systems often leaves Free Captains vulnerable to system wide malfunctions. Using modified stabilizers originally designed for station attitude control helps improve system reliability at a slight cost to maximum ship energy levels. Newer stations use more modern modules making these after market modifications hard to come by.
Starcrash Celebration Cake
CONSUMABLE
Customs among post-starcrash humanity are complex and downright strange. Many traditions come and go, short-lived as a sunspot - but absurdly, a few seem to stick. In the case of Starcrash Celebration Cake, mankind chose to celebrate its greatest disaster, rather than mourn it. And what's a party without delicious, frosted cake? So, once a year (or whenever the fancy strikes) free captains throughout the solar system negotiate with their kitchen AIs, promising to cut carbs and run laps if the AIs will just let them eat cake!
Stealth Drive Unit
The discovery of both gravity and lightwave manipulation was instantly taken on by Engine Designers to create engines that were not as powerful, but much harder to detect by standard equipment.
Stealth Plating
The discovery of advanced gravity and lightwave manipulation meant that truly stealthy armor plating was made possible. This has certain advantages and disadvantages especially as engine and weapons units need to be partially muzzled to gain full effect.
Sunburst Chardonnay
CONSUMABLE
Banned by the AI Council, this mysterious, full-bodied wine has been produced and quietly distributed through the system by the Sons of Earth. The grapes from which it is made are grown in intricate Mercurian hydroponic farms, moving on tracks to stay in the safe zone of the Mercurian terminator. The fruits thrive in perpetual twilight; in the purest sunlight in the Solar System. The wine is a symbol of a golden utopia - one not from the AI Council. The AI Council has declared it contraband. For that same reason, Captains and crews alike will stop at nothing to have it.
Sunburst Syrah
CONSUMABLE
The success of Sunburst Chardonnay has encouraged the Vineyard on Mercury to branch out. Grown in intricate Mercurian hydroponic farms, the deep red grapes that are used in this wine make use of the long day/night cycle natural to Mercury. The wine is a Vintner's masterpiece and a symbol of the Sons of Earth defiance of the AI Council. The AI Council has declared it contraband. For that same reason, Captains and crews alike will stop at nothing to have it.
Surgical Singularity
Forged by the same Uru process as the legendary Mjolnir, this armament was salvaged from the wreckage of the Heart of Terror after its defeat at the hands of the premier ascender. This artifact is named after its uncanny ability to slice through hulls with surgical precision.
T.U.N.A
CONSUMABLE
This historic ration, The United Nations Apportionment, is shockingly good. It was not only the favourite emergency ration of the UN but turned into well sought after ration. Even today, post-Starcrash, cans of this exist and are fought over by rough and tumble pirates. It's never been clear, but somehow it provides a serene viewpoint that puts the user into an ultimate flow state. If given to a captain and crew, it reduces malfunctions.
Tactical Force Firing
Enigma
Between this device, and the knowledge gained from the Eridian Security Force, your ship's attack capacity (and to some degree it's defence) are much improved.
Targeting Protocol
Protocol
The ACAIs have found standard operating procedures that improve firing accuracy. Translating these procedures to ships of Free Captains has resulted in the Targeting Protocol.
Teumessian
Enigma
Based on the mighty gigantic Greek fox. The Legend says it could never be caught and would prey upon criminals; this adapter will give you an edge in surprise.
Thuban
Probets
We now know that this is in fact a binary star, but Ancient texts also referred to this star as Adib and The Dragon's Tail.
Tigris
Enigma
Like its namesake, this Tiger-themed adapter stalks and hunts its prey from heights and shadows.
Trajectory Altering Enigma Routines
AI
These routines vastly improve the evasive maneuvers of your craft by making them much harder to predict and counter. Sometimes being in just the right spot can make your shots more devastating, or mean the difference in surprising an opponent.
Trireme
Enigma
Like its namesake - fast, powerful, and full of surprises in battle.
Tritanium Armor
Standard space armor - a dark material meant to minimize heat loss and maximize energy absorption while providing radiation protection. In deep space the first enemy is the void and freezing; the second is baking to death.
Triton
Enigma
Twisted seashell embossed on this adapter refers to the Mighty Son of Poseidon that ruled in a golden palace beneath the ancient seas. Mighty and powerful.
Upgraded AI Prototype
CONSUMABLE
While the AIs represent the epitome of modern technology, even they continue to look for improvements. Recent developments in quantum manipulation and pico-architectural manufacturing offer promising results. The AI Council is allowing certain ship captains the opportunity to test out these new systems for a few cycles.
Vega
Probets
The 2nd vertex of the Summer Triangle, when viewed from ancient earth, Vega was the brightest star in the constellation Lyra. When viewed from an opposing ship, Vega instills fear and dread. Enhances the elements that Deneb takes away!
Vulpecula
Neural
The Fox - swift and cunning. Use Vulpecula when speed and surprise are your most important assets.
Walkin Whisky Shot
CONSUMABLE
A small tumbler of the renowned Walkin Whisky beverage, the oldest known truly fine whisky. While Walkin Whisky itself is exceedingly rare, finding someone willing to share their bottle is even more so. Even as small an amount as this often carries a huge associated cargo cost.
Weapons Control
Hybrid
Efficiencies from combining Sol AI and ACAI knowledge synthesis provide superior micro control.
Xeortrium Armor
Discovered just before the Starcrash, xeortrium is a rare asteroid metal which can be worked into nanotubes providing excellent tensile strength and armor. The latticework is much less bulky. Unfortunately it is also easily spotted by scanners due to its rarity.
Xeortrium Armor - NOM
Nanometer-scale Optimization Modules bundle raw materials with single-use nanomachines which uniquely integrate components into a ship.
