Acquisition and stacking #

Store entries spend personal run credits. Orb entries are found in combat and cannot be bought. Weapon drops give Ratajack and Garmo a new weapon at full strength; they are found, never bought. Ship-specific entries apply only to that hull; prerequisites and maximum ranks are enforced. Each listed price is the cost of that rank, not a cumulative total.

Cooling changes ability cooldowns, not every firing interval or active duration.
