Workshop:

With the Workshop you can modify Equipment pieces. The Workshop is a bit difficult to capture in one picture.

You can modify Sub-Stats for the cost of credits, rerolling increases the credits needed each time. The rolls are random.

It's also possible to extract Blueprints for rarities you don't have in your collection. This also costs credits. [LIMITED CURRENTLY UP TO BLUE RARITY]

Removing the Aspect of an Item destroys it, keep this in mind. To add 1 or more Aspects the Items need to have already 1 or 2 Slots.

Levelling Items up is currently your Level +6 as the maximum, if it is above (currently 37 and above) you can't Level it up any further. Costs credits.

Patrol / Bounty / Industry Ops:

The "Ops" have 3 difficulties. Normal, Hard and Extreme. Extreme grants you a Level up for the given Ops.

Patrol: Fight 4 Waves of Enemies, rewards you with Credits, Standing and Commendations for the Contractor.

Bounty: Hunt known Criminals. 3 Waves of Enemies, rewards you with Credits, Standing and Commendations for the Contractor.

Industry: Here you support a Defence Station with resources. Goal is to craft "supplies" for the Station.

The Commendations farmed from each Op is needed for the Shop. With increasing Level the Items get stronger but also cost more Commendation.

Retiring the rank doesn't lower the highest Item level unlocked.

Bar:

In the Bar you can find different types of offerings. Some are looking for a new Job, others will sell you Pictures of a Spaceship and some more sell you gear or other various Items. The Bar is the main area to acquire new Crew Members for your Ship. Faction Representatives will sell you various Types of equipment or even Claims for Mining or Salvage spots. Resets after 24 Hours.

Shipyard:

As the name implies here you can buy ships. Depending on the Faction you get different Ships. Some ships are always available and not bound to a specific Faction, while others aren't.

If you can't buy a Ship for "reasons" the game will tell you why. The Shipyard provides a basic overview of the Modules and Hard points the Ship comes with.

Personal Hangar:

The Personal Hangar lets you change and modify Ships.

You can right-click on Hard points or Modules to remove them. When a Ship is equipped with drones you can change the Drone layout on the left side with the small Drone Icon. The Repair button lets you repair ships quicker than usually for the Cost of Credits.

C: Crew, here you can see and change the Crew for the Ship.

Umbral Infection:

With infecting a Station for the Umbral Reach you can unlock extra Missions and a new shop that sells different Items (The Umbral Research Icon in the top left of the Shops).

The infection can only spread to adjacent sectors. Completing missions on infected stations accelerates the infection.
