Each rank has a limited weapons/armor/tech modification which will allow players to customize their character statistics. Some modifications cannot be unlocked unless researched. Below is a list of the modifications and their cost for use. While mods do stack each character is limited in what they can use based on how many slots they have available. To determine how many slots you have available check the rank page.

Research credits are used to unlock the various technologies. Research credit is accumulated through researching which is conducted by the science department. In order to use the credit the science department must put in an order to unlock any technology available. This is instantaneous but must be done by a scientist.

--drugs--
Drugs allow players to apply buffs to their characters, however they may become addicted which will become detrimental to their statistics as time goes on. Drugs can stack but the players run the risk of overdosing. every time a player takes a drug they roll an endurance check against a target number. for any successful rolls they are not addicted failure means the player has succumbed to the drug and will suffer from withdrawals. A player can only take as many drugs as 10 overdose points if they exceed this number they will suffer an overdose and need to seek medical assistance where they will suffer instant withdrawals of all combined drugs for 1D10 days.
