Upgrading a ship spends XP and levels the ship up as a whole, or individual components can be upgraded if you require a specific stats boost. If all individual components are levelled up you will have the option to Tier Up. This is a time-restricted action so the ship will have to wait in the drydock until the time is up and the tier up is complete, unless you pay for an instant tier up. Once the tier up is complete, stats are boosted and further upgrading can be achieved.
