Aside for Reactor, the [[Drydock]] can upgrade the hull in many ways. Each node along the individual upgrade tracks will upgrade the total power of the ship regarding a certain stat (combat, mining, salvage), and each milestone unlocked grants a lump bonus.

			In addition to hull upgrades, varying ship classes have their own innate power modifiers, such as combat hulls having a +30% power (applied to combat power) or a mining hull having +30% power (applied to mining power). See [[Ship List]] for all the ships and their hull bonuses.
