Hardpoints are mechanized mounts where [[:Category:Weapons|weapons]] can be installed and then deployed from or retracted within a ship's hull. There are four classes of hardpoints: Small, Medium, Large, and Huge. Each class of hardpoint denotes the maximum class of weapon that can be installed there.

===Utility Mounts===
!Hardpoint Size
Utility Mounts are slots on the exterior of a ship where specialised Utility modules can be installed. Unlike Hardpoints, they cannot be retracted, but this does not interfere with other ship functions. Ships have between 2 and 8 Utility Mounts. All available Utility modules are listed below:
