How do I upgrade parts of my ship?

Ship upgrades are done through the 'Ship yard' button in the left hand menu while docked at a planet. Simply go through the menus and select the upgrade you wish to buy (press 'trade' beside the item you wish to buy and your current version will be traded in and replaced with the new version provided you have the funds). Upgrading your ship takes time (varies depending on the upgrade), during which you will not be able to leave the planet. Upgrades can be queued, so you can buy an engine and a weapon, the game then upgrades one then the other.

Note: Changing your ship is done by first selling your old ship then selecting the new one you wish to purchase.
