Valkyrie Upgrade

See Also

• Starbridge Upgrade, apparently it's also possible to upgrade those new-fangled Starbridgers. I'll believe it when I see it.

Gameplay

These outfits merely swap out your current ship for a new model while replacing all your outfits with the stock outfits of that new ship. It was possible to allow you to keep your outfits, but that version of the function wasn't used.

So what are these good for? Well, they're very cheap. Make sure to sell your outfits before purchasing these to maximize their value. The Pirate upgrade seems to only be an example of the idealistic Rebels inadvertently giving technology to the Pirates.

Rebel Valkyrie Upgrade upgrading a Valkyrie to a Rebel Valkyrie

"Before he defected, Mr. Donald Chick and his engineers were working on processes of updating older versions of spare vessels to later models. Since then he has perfected the techniques required, and here is the resulting process to upgrade a standard Valkyrie to the slightly more capable Rebellion standard type. It takes just short of 24 hours and strips all excess outfits, leaving only those outfits defined as standard for the Rebel version. However it is cheap, and relatively simple."

Pirate Valkyrie Upgrade upgrading a Valkyrie to a Pirate Valkyrie

"With only a few relatively minor modifications, many shady outfitters have been able to take the Sigma Shipyards Starbridge upgrading process and use it to upgrade standard Valkyries to the much more feared pirate type. Like all processes of this type, all existing outfits are stripped from your vessel, leaving only those outfits deemed to be standard according to the parameters of the new model."
