I suppose i should have been clearer. Are we doing upgrades like the video game does ship upgrades? Small buffs and technologies we pull strings to have fitted onto ships in our fleet.

I can't think of a way of making such upgrades anyway meaningful in RPG setting so upgrades are not really going to be a thing. I might have it instead take the form of perks.
