-Components are the mechanical systems of the ship which attach to Hardpoints. Examples of a component are: ShieldGenerator 4K, IonCannon, LaserCannon, etc. The available Hardpoints limit how many upgrades a smaller military or a civilian vessel can receive. Larger ships can hold bigger components and more components.+Components are the mechanical systems of the ship which attach to Hardpoints. Examples of a component are: ShieldGenerator 4K, IonCannon, LaserCannon, etc. The available Hardpoints limit how many upgrades a smaller military or a civilian vessel can receive. Larger ships can hold bigger components and more components. Horizons comes with a default set of [[canon:components:components_list|in-game components]].
  
 Uninstalled components appear as a type of Cargo and can be transferred, traded, and looted just like [[modding:commodities|Commodities]] and Ordinance. Actions can be used to install components on ships. This can be done as an Event Action or as a Dialog Action.  Uninstalled components appear as a type of Cargo and can be transferred, traded, and looted just like [[modding:commodities|Commodities]] and Ordinance.
