Bridge



The bridge aboard all ships in ToH is a ship location where bridge and general power ups can be placed and which can be upgraded to improve your roll speed.

The Officer in charge of Bridge is Hasting Locke, your Executive Officer.

Bridge power ups improve upgrade and roll time, shorten officer training (level up) time', and power the plasma and metal generators.

Bridge Function
The bridge has fucntions both in and outside of battle. In battle the only function the bridge provides is the ability to roll the wedge. Outside of battle the bridge has many other functions including metal/plasma generation as well as time buffs for training of officers and upgrading of equipment.

Upgrading Bridge
Improving Bridge level improves how soon you can roll your ship again. Ship levels seem to be ship-specific, so the below table may not be 100% accurate.

At level 1, Bridge Cooldown Speed is 1

At level 2, Bridge Cooldown Speed is 0.95

At level 3, Bridge Cooldown Speed is 0.9

At level 4, Bridge Cooldown Speed is

At level 4, Bridge Cooldown Speed is 0.81

Strategy
For combat, only Thrusters and Level Boosters are useful. For downtime, replace them with plasma and metal generators.

The component that increases the number of warp chargers is useful for farming or any extensive gaming. You do not loose the extra charges upon uninstalling the component, but have to charge them in a usual way (wait) upon reinstalling, it is probably best to have one of those installed permanently if you intend to do much farming.

System upgrade component is useful unless you run out of things to upgrade. Simulators and facilitators that decrease upgrade time do so only in minuscule amounts, so their usefulness is small, particularly early on. Later, when you get their rare versions and when upgrades take dozens of hours, you may want to reconsider them, depending on the difficulty of battles and your plasma/metal stocks.
