The capabilities and statistics of a ship are based not just on the ship's type but on what components are equipped to the ship.  Most components have an individual cost that adds to build cost and to upkeep cost for ships with upkeep costs.  The initial cost may be in {{iconify|Alloys}} or any of several strategic resources, but upkeep costs are limited to {{iconify|Energy}} and {{Iconify|Alloys}}.  Downgrading components or leaving slots empty can lower the build and upkeep costs of ships of that design.  When changing components in a design, ships can be upgraded at a shipyard for the change in costs (downgrading designs is also done with the "upgrade" button, but will return resources).  Upgrading ships when you do not have sufficient resources will cause them to wait at the shipyard until the resources become available and upgrade as soon as the resources become available.  If you have neither reserves nor income of the required resources (e.g. you have 0(+0) {{iconify|Dark Matter}} for Dark Matter Thrusters) then the ships will idle at the shipyard indefinitely.

All Ships have similar [[Core components]], displayed on the right side of the star-background part of the ship designer UI.  Most of these slots cannot be left empty (the exception being an FTL Drive, but this component is necessary for inter-system travel; a ship without one will be stuck in the system it was built in).  Immobile ship types (Defense Platforms and Ion Cannons) have limited slots to reflect that they are immobile.  Titans and Juggernauts have an additional slot for auras.  The article on core components goes into detail on what options are available, what stats those options have, and any special mechanics related to the components.

All Ships have slots for [[Weapon components]] and [[Utility components]].  These slots can be left empty.  What specific slots are available will change based on what Sections are used in the design (see below).  Weapon component slots are at the top of the star background part of the UI, separated by section.  Utility component slots are on the bottom, also separated by section.  There are a great amount of options for these types of slots, so please reference the articles on each type for what can be fitted in the slots as well as statistics and mechanics.
