Equipping and ownership
Open Cosmetics from the game rail or full menu. Select an item you own and equip it to see the change. Whether an item is sold in the Shop or marketplace depends on that item. A claimed Battle Pass cosmetic remains yours when the next season starts. Cosmetics do not increase health, damage, Ore output, QC output or VP.
If an effect looks wrong
Try a different graphics preset from the gear next to camera zoom controls. Ship trails should follow each model’s own thruster outlets; a trail is not a separate ship or combat unit.
