Battle Station Grades

Battle stations advance in grade as the starship levels up. Different battle stations advance at different levels, and different battle station upgrades and their higher-level versions become available at different levels. You can find the advancement levels of each battle station in the Battle Stations section. All battle stations start at commercial grade at level 1, and then become tactical battle stations at level 2. Most battle stations gain new station actions when they become tactical and then again when they become advanced.

The drone console and the gunnery’s grades are determined at level 1 (commercial), level 2 (tactical), level 4 (advanced), level 10 (superior), level 12 (elite), level 16 (ultimate), and level 19 (paragon). The remaining battle stations found in this book (generator, magic conduit, pilot’s console, and scanners) instead have their grades determined at level 1 (commercial), level 2 (tactical), level 5 (advanced), level 8 (superior), level 11 (elite), level 14 (ultimate), and level 18 (paragon).
