Alright ladies and gentlemen.

I present you with a bit of a quandary. Since recently finding Abandonia, I have a desire to play a game from my childhood, but i cannot remember for the life of me what it was called. I know that its was a space adventure game similar to the Star Control series, and the key factor that is plaguing my memory is you could modify your ship with different modules you either purchased, traded for, or salvaged after a fight. You actually went to a screen and were able to place said modules yourself, and if your ship was damaged in combat, occasionally a module or two would break.

If anyone at all could provide me with the name for this game, or you remember playing this game once upon a time, please give me a hand.This is driving me crazy. Thanks in advance.

The upgrading stuff sounds a lot like Lightspeed/Hyperspeed.

There are quite a few games that could describe (the Space Captain RPG genre being fairly popular, once upon a time). If none of the other suggestions pan out, I'd also suggest Project Nomad and the Starflight games. If for no other reason than they're great games that fit the criteria (and are also available here).
