Modules (ES2)

Modules in Everspace 2 are passive items providing various bonuses.

Energy Cores
Energy cores increase overall energy capacity for both boosting and using equipment, as well as increasing recharge rates.

Shields
Shields provide regenerating shield hitpoints.

Platings
Platings provide armor hitpoints. If armor is depleted, the currently equipped plating can be repaired at a station. Platings can't be changed outside of a station.

Sensors
Sensors increase sensor strength, which changes how far the player can pick up enemies, NPCs, loot, and other points of interest on the radar.

Thrusters
Thrusters increase ship maneuverability.

Cargo Units
Cargo units primarily increase inventory space, but can also have other stats.
