EliteDangerousAlmanac / Ships / ModuleCategory

Defined in: dotnet/src/EliteDangerousAlmanac/Ships/ModuleIdentity.cs:6

Frontier's outfitting category — which kind of slot a module fits.

Core

Defined in: dotnet/src/EliteDangerousAlmanac/Ships/ModuleIdentity.cs:14

The core internals every hull must fit: armour, power plant, thrusters, frame shift drive, life support, power distributor, sensors and fuel tank. Frontier's own registry calls this category "standard". A fuel tank is a core module that also fits an optional slot.

Internal

Defined in: dotnet/src/EliteDangerousAlmanac/Ships/ModuleIdentity.cs:22

Optional internals — cargo racks, shield generators, fuel scoops, passenger cabins, limpet controllers and the rest. The registry also files two kinds of article here that no optional slot takes: the built-in cargo hatch, and the Guardian hybrid power plants and distributors, which go in a core mount.

Hardpoint

Defined in: dotnet/src/EliteDangerousAlmanac/Ships/ModuleIdentity.cs:25

The weapons and tools mounted on a hardpoint.

Utility

Defined in: dotnet/src/EliteDangerousAlmanac/Ships/ModuleIdentity.cs:31

The small utility-mount fittings: chaff, heat sinks, point defence, shield boosters and scanners.
