As you are sitting at the bar in the Advanced Augmenter Labs station, a thin man with glasses approaches you.
"Hello there. You seem to be a rather promising pilot, perhaps I could interest you with a remarkable proposal!" He smiles. "I am Ptolemy 3000, I'm looking for aspiring pilots to help us with our field research. If you decide to help us out we will more than make it worth your time. So, how does that sound, will you help us advance the knowledge of the universe?"
"Wonderful! Since you will be working with a very unique type of item, Augmenters, it is best that you know all about them. I will send Menelaus 3000 a transmission informing him that you will join the research program, he will be more than pleased to share his knowledge with you!"

"So you say that Ptolemy 3000 sent you to learn about Augmenters? Most wonderful indeed!" Menelaus 3000 seems extremely excited. Perhaps too excited. "Understanding Augmenters is a very important matter, so it's extremely wonderful that you came to study. Now, where to start. Ah of course, the beginning!"
"Augmenters are a rather unique class of items, and they have the power to alter your ship considerably. Each Augmenter has a combination of upgrades, and each upgrade will change one of your ships primary statistics. Be it shielding, energy, damage or even tractor beams, there is an Augmenter that can modify the properties of it! So you see, by using Augmenters you can customize your ship to your standards."
"Hmm? Ready to leave already?! There is still quite a bit about Augmenters you don't know yet, you really should stay!" Menelaus 3000 continues. "Now where was I? Ah, yes! Each ship has an Augmenter rating, and this determines the number of Augmenters that you can attach to it. A ship with an Augmenter Rating of two can equip two augmenters, with four, four augmenters, it's rather simple indeed. You must be careful when equipping Augmenters though, they cannot be removed! Since a ship has a limited number of Augmenters it can equip, and Augmenters cannot be removed without being destroyed, it is of paramount importance that you think before you decide to use one! You wouldn't want to use an Augmenter that you would regret later would you now?"
"My, you do have a very short attention span, don't you? Well, if you must leave now I guess I can keep the reward I had for you..."
"So you're staying then? Wonderful! Well.. to continue! A ship's Augmenter Rating is not the only thing that defines the Augmenters you can use on it, the ship's general Tech Level also has a role. You may only equip an augmenter of equal or lower Tech Level to that of your ship. So if you happen to use a Tech Level 3 ship, it can only use Tech Level 3 or lower augmenters.
"Now then, since I have imparted most of my Augmenter knowledge to you, I have a rather special reward. Of course! It's an Augmenter! Well, make good use of it, and be sure to come back to see me if you have any further questions, perhaps after you are a bit more experienced."
"Good Luck Player!"
