Upgrades: Heavy Pistol Damage – 6 shown
The amount of credits or minerals required to buy or research this upgrade; for upgrades that can be repeated, the cost is multiplied by the number of the upgrade being researched; thus if an upgrade costs Level × 500 Element Zero, the second upgrade would cost 1,000 Element Zero, the third 1,500 Element Zero, and so on; purchased upgrades are not counted for this purpose, so the cost is the same whether purchased upgrades are purchased before or after other research; note that it is possible to get a 1/6 discount on the price of most purchased upgrades (see shop page for details)
Cost
Indicates whether the upgrade is purchased with credits or researched with element zero or minerals; upgrades that are purchased with credits are applied immediately, while others must be found and later researched on the ship
Currency
How this upgrade becomes available; purchased upgrades do not have to be researched (the listed cost is the price to buy them), but found upgrades must be; research cannot be started until Mordin is recruited; upgrades that require a certain level of another upgrade become visible in the research list when you are one level below their requirement
