Progression and Strategy

The player can use mission boards to find instances of space combat. The starting ship, the Frontier, is not equipped with Particle Beam weapons. The player will have to either upgrade the Frontier or use another ship to use this skill.

Particle Beams are strong ship-to-ship weapons, so making them do more damage is great. The only downside is they can be relatively late-game, due to the credit-intensive nature of Ship Customization.
