This is a chart compiling all the alien technologies currently in Starknights. They are listed in order of Tech Level. That is, the Alien Tech Level your character is required to have in order to be able to buy those components from the TradePost (TP).
| Alien Tech Level | Alien Ship Component | Price | Weight | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | Cargo Bay | 1000 | 250 | Carries Commodity Goods / Items. Capacity: 6500 weight. Multiple cargo bays have a cummulative effect. It's good to have atleast one of these on your fleet |
| 0 | Escape Pod | 2000 | 220 | Rescues the rest of your fleet if your flag ship is destroyed. Must be installed on the Flag Ship. (otherwise if you lose the flag ship you lose the WHOLE fleet) |
| 1 | Anti Radar Jammer | 1000 | 105 | Cancels the effects of Radar Jammer (always active) |
| 1 | Salvage Pod | 3000 | 350 | A robotic device that allows a ship to pickup jettisonned ship components (those white boxes floating after a ship explodes in battle). Very important to have in a game |
| 2 | Fight Bay | 3500 | 1800 | Allows a ship to carry upto 5 fighter ships (eg Mosquitos, Stingers, Stinger Bs and Wasps). These do not count towards the total number of ships you have in your fleet. They also have a cummulative effect (eg 2 of them allow 10 (=2x5) fighters) |
| 2 | Radar Jammer | 2000 | 180 | Makes the ship carrying it, invisible on the RADAR screen (the small bottom-left-corner screen). Rendered useless by the use of an anti-radar jammer |
| 3 | Auto Destruction | 2000 | 100 | A powerful explosive device that activates when the ship is destroyed. All nearby ships absorb splash damage. Maximum Damage is 100 (affected by how close you are to a ship). No cummulative effect (2 on one ship still inflict only 100 damage) |
| 3 | Freight Pod | 3000 | 425 | Allows a fleet to load or unload items onto a planet. Acts as a mobile starport |
| 3 | Overdrive | 6000 | 500 | Engine Supercharging System that doubles the total propulsion (x2 Propulsion) Note that whatever you do, the maximum BATTLE speed will always be 16. No cummulative effect with itself, a built-in overdrive or a strange module |
| 4 | Low Illusion | 2500 | 110 | Holographic projector giving the illusion of a smaller ship than reality (can be very useful in battle). Be warned that the change is random |
| 4 | Side Thrusters | 2500 | 65 | Doubles a ship's turn rate. It can be very useful in real-time combats, especially for any ships above the Destroyer |
| 4 | Anti Missile | 7000 | 350 | Only fires at incoming missiles at the rate of a normal beam weapon and requires 12 energy to fire (ie requires 24 energy for full fire-rate, as beams fire twice per recharge) |
| 5 | High Illusion | 2500 | 110 | Similar to the Low Illusion, but with the reverse effect. (not as useful as the low illusion but can be used to intimidate or confuse the enemy) |
| 5 | Anti Gravity | 6000 | -2000 | Increases the weight capacity of ship components a ship can carry by 2000. However, ship components that exceed the ORIGINAL maximum weight capacity cannot be fitted onto the ship. (eg a Shuttle cannot be loaded with components which are INDIVIDUALLY heavier than 1675, even if you fit antigravs on it) |
| 6 | Cloacking Device | 10000 | 310 | Makes the ship invisible on the Battle Screen. Your ship becomes visible if it fires, but becomes cloacked again when it stops firing |
| 6 | Shield Add-On | 12000 | 235 | Doubles the strength of your shields (x2) of the ship carrying it. No Cummulative effect with itself, a built-in shields add-on or a strange module |
| 7 | Second Chance | 10000 | 50 | Recharges the shields of a ship back to maximum, once they have been completely depleted. Works only ONCE. Once it's used, you have to buy a new one |
| 7 | Weapon Add-On | 7000 | 235 | Doubles the strength of your weapons (x2) of the ship carrying it. No Cummulative effect with itself, a built-in weapons add-on or a strange module |
| 8 | Multi-Missile Rack | 8000 | 335 | Fires simultaneously all the missiles it can possibly fire given the available energy. (eg Shockwave Bomb requires 10 energy to fire and you have 100 energy. It will fire 10 missiles, but will instantly deplete all your energy - can be tactically used in combat) |
| 9 | Strange Module | 24000 | 80 | The best alien tech you can have on your ship. Doubles the weapons(x2), shields(x2) and engines(x2) strength. No cummulative effect, even if used in conjunction with other doublers |
