A classical definition of a sequel, Captain Successor offers more weapons, like ramming spikes, bombs and torpedos, and bi-, omni- and burst-accelerators are added. This, along with a couple of types of shields and other modules and variations to the existing parts.

=== Socioeconomic Geography ===
This sector is populated with a diverse collection of social groups, each
exhibiting unique idiosyncrasies. Learning these is crucial to successful
endeavour. Note that reconstruction occurs differently after each
catastrophic event, producing variance in vessel design and economic status
within the communities. Observe this social geography and strategize
accordingly.
