Type Alias: ModuleCategory

ModuleCategory = "core" | "internal" | "hardpoint" | "utility"

Defined in: src/ships/modules.ts:84

Frontier's outfitting category — which kind of slot a module fits.

• core — the core internals every hull must fit (armour, power plant, thrusters, frame shift drive, life support, power distributor, sensors, fuel tank). Frontier's own registry calls this category "standard"; it is named for the slots it fills, which are the same seven CoreSlotTypes plus armour. A fuel tank is a core module that also fits an optional slot.
• internal — optional internals (cargo racks, shield generators, fuel scoops, passenger cabins, limpet and planetary controllers, …).
• hardpoint — the weapons and tools mounted on a hardpoint.
• utility — the small utility-mount fittings (chaff, heat sinks, point defence, shield boosters, scanners).
