+upgrade

Syntax: 
:+upgrade <ship>=[<#>] <ship system>
:+upgrade here=[<#>] <system>
:+upgrade <component>
:+upgrade <item>
The first and second syntaxes are used for ships and stations. You can either upgrade a ship system from outside of the ship, using the firstsyntax, or inside the cockpit, using the second. Space stations can only be upgraded from the bridge with the second syntax, after they have been deployed. Viable systems to upgrade are SPEED ARMOR SHIELDS SYSTEMS CARGO DOCKING LASERS TURBOLASERS IONS TORPEDOES MISSILES TRACTORS HYPERDRIVE. You must have ship components either in your inventory or in the same room as you. Putting a number infront of the ship system allows for bulk upgrades to that system.
Syntax 3 allows you to upgrade other things. Currently, this is limited to 'shield generator'.
Syntax 4 allows you to upgrade an item, such as a weapon or armor, provided you have the adequate materials: armor parts for armor, blaster parts for blasters, and scrap metal for melee weapons.
Upgrading is based on the Engineer skill. If you aren't particularly skilled, be prepared to lose a lot of upgrade components.
