How to change your devices?
Go to the Astral hangar and summon your ship. You can see all your devices at the wall by clicking on the Device Rack
Talk to Glowy Family (League) or Nomarkh Hanotep (Empire)
You will get a buff and run quicker
Jump on your ship and by clicking on the devices you want to change, you get a popup
First thing to upgrade on every new generation is the engine, because it will give you higher load capacity
Keep this bar in green!
You can buy green devices in the astral academy and in the astral hangar
But the best devices (epic) and specific ones you can purchase in the astral academy
Those can be bought with Astral nuggets (best way is to do anomalous sector and exchange those emanations for nuggets)
The Transforming Crystals you get at the Free Traders NPC next to the auctionhouse or in the astral academy. If you have everything, right click the crystals and then right click on your new device. It is listed now in your Device Rack.
This is the set up of my ship, for daily Astral Patrol, Anomalous sector and all other pve ship content
Engine (Motor)
Both motors are fine, it's your personal preference
Reactor
Scanner
To make your ship invisible costs no Emanations, while other scanners have high costs
Helm
Both helms are fine, it's your personal preference
Turbine
Doesn't really matter, maybe have a look for the one with lowest energy consume
Visor
This is the best pve visor, because of special shield boost and cooling
Artillery
Arti Pike is the better choice because of longer range (for example needed for the demonic portal in AS), but the Colossus is also fine
Goblins
2x Goblin Tinker (1 for top deck and the other bottom deck) and 1x Goblin Mechanic for the reactor room
Cannons
The Ultrafast Cannon, one on each side top deck, for that Lightning shot at Octulhu for example
Shields
Aegis in front and in back (yes, it has a long recovery rate if you repair it manually, but normally you don't do that, you repair it with shield boost on the visor)
1 Wall and 1 Barrier on each side
