With new upgrades such a laser turrets, missile launchers, shield generators, thrusters, power plants and other modules will allow players to adapt to new combat situations in mid-flight that arise on their travels. Build, recycle, repair and reposition the modules, and improvise as best you can to deal with the multiple threats you will face.
