Modifications

Occasionally AI ships might drop a modified item, indicated by an asterisk in the item's name, such as a MagCannon*. Modified items might have a small increase of their stats (such as reduced item weight, or a decrease in electricity needed), or might have a ship-wide beneficial effect (such as an increase in speed, or extra hull space). There is no limit to the number of mods an item might possess, but the probability of getting multiple modifications is extremely low. Mission rewards and built items will not have mods on them. The variation and/or power of the mod can depend on the item's tech level. For example, a modified scoop (tech 0) applies +1% hull space, while a sliver scoop (tech 5) gives +1.5%. Some mods are global and affet the stats of your whole ship just by being equipped, whereas others are specific and only affect the stats of the item upon which they are found.

Global Mods in Green, Specific Mods in Red, ones that it doesn't matter are left uncolored.
