There are many things a player needs to take into consideration when upgrading to a bigger ship. As a ship owner it is crucial that you calculate the prices of all the upgrades you wish to make on your new ship and save this money in advance prior to buying the ship. Even though it might be easy to upgrade from a [[Cobra]] to a [[Type-6]] and all its modules, when you reach the bigger ships on the list, an upgrade can be an economical bankruptcy.
