How to read the data shown in each slot?
The most important is the punch in of a hardpoint and its class (orange font).
It tells us what can be mounted to it and what maximum size of a component it uses.
The text written in the white font tells us which component is already mounted.
The availability of the component is dependable from the station’s economy.
Different statistics may appear but these will be very easy to understand.
Here are the least understandable ones:
Class: it is simply the size of the component.
The slot to which you might mount the component is compatible with its class or with the lower one.
This is the reason for you not seeing the components of a higher class than your slot.
The smaller components can be mounted on the higher class slots but it isn’t recommendable.
venture to match the component’s class to the slot if possible.
Rating: characteristic which indicates the quality of the sub-system.
Integrity: indicates the durability of the sub-system.
Many other statistics are also described with the letters.
Letter indicators:
I, H, G, F, E- Very low quality.
Will do its job and costs nothing, but can’t be considered to be good.
Cheap and easily destroyable with a low performance ratings.
Usually the equipment you get with the ship.
C- A class to which you should be aiming when doing your first improvements.
A bit heavier but efficient and of a good price.
You could call it a ‘branded’ equipment.
B- Heavier than C, more solid and very efficient.
Also, more expensive.
It is good to skip this class and aim directly for the class A.
A- The very best quality.
It is the most efficient class for those who want to squeeze everything from their ships.
The prices are breath taking though.
Before buying the sub-system you’re free to easily compare it to the one you already own.
The red statistics indicate that something is worse, and the blue one indicate the exact opposite.
To correlate both components, grab the compare option.
Here similarly, the red indicates the change for the worse and the blue for the better.
The better component equals a higher power intake and the weight’s increase.
It is best to start improving the ship from a generator, the engines or the FSD drive.
