=== Upgrades ===

'''Some general information'''
* Upgrades become available based on the number of personal ships you own.
* The general rule is that with every six (6) ships you buy, an upgrade "unlocks" - it can take a while however to get the upgrade offer and it might be necessary to have some buy/sell activity to trigger the upgrade
* Each upgrade improves the fleet efficiency by 50 credits/ship (as far as we know now)
* The initial cost is the cost of the upgrade at the minimum number of ships (see below).
* If you choose to purchase the upgrade later its cost will be: number of personal ships x multiplier, so the initial costs are only when you buy the upgrade at the minimal required amount of personal ships

''Remarks''
* From amount of ships needed 123, there is no cross-reference yet, so the amount of ships needed and price can be other than mentioned (up to 123 ships, the list is 100% accurate)
* The fleet efficiency can be improved further by:
** Buying colonies (each colony gives 100 credits/ship extra to a maximum of 300 credits/ship)
** Alliances: when on Broker level or higher, one can form alliances and create space ports, at four (4) space ports the fleet efficiency improves with 100 credits/ship
** Researching the same disaster 20 times for a 200 credits/ship bonus
** Permanent raise of efficiency by the Mysterious Vessel: each raise is 100 credits/ship, not known how many times this is possible (based on regular TE it can be maximized by 200 credits/ship)
