   -Upgrades permanently on ship
   -Power ups a limited time

Factions:

"The Capital"                                                           
  -evil                                                                     
  -capitalism                                                       
  -dark                                                                  
  -angular
  -big ship

"The Union"
  -not organized
  -vigilantes
  -small ship

"Horizons"
