Reinforce

Reinforce is a late game system unlocked at sector 80.

Major Spoilers for Sectors 80+ (click here to dismiss)

Reinforcing allows players to reset nearly everything to get Fleet Power, which grants bonuses. Currently, players can reinforce at sectors 80, 85, 90, and 95 to reach 1, 9, 98, and 1085 Fleet Power respectively*. Reinforcing at these thresholds will also grant the following consumables:

• 4 extra retrofits
• 4 base prestiges
• 2 crew sleeve resets
• 2 6 hour timeskips
• 1 crew mastery respec.

List of things that do not reset on Reinforce:

• Keep all previous Reinforce bonuses.
• Achievements, skins and anything under the AI tab do not reset.
• Sector Data shows sectors cleared in previous reinforces even if not cleared in currnet reinforce.
• Keep Reactor's Engine Boost at level 12, even before unlocking Base 1.
• Keep "Compute Improvements" upgrade from Base 2 even before unlocking base 2.
• Shards automatically count as maxed as soon as the same one of a higher tier is obtained.
• Task list does not need to be redone. Reaching sector 75 will automatically unlock Battle Cruiser and using Battle Cruiser will automatically cap compute at 1e22x damage/shield.
• V-Device slots unlocked by Key Shards as well as any shard inside them do not reset.

* The actual formula used to calculate fleet power is fibonacci([highest reached sector this reinforce] - 79), meaning the highest fleet power values can be reached when reinforcing at sectors 84, 89, 94, and 99, respectively. This currently has no use and only makes the run harder.
