Possibly the best energy transfer upgrade to purchase early, the nanite transfer creates a method for small ships to easily tank a lot of damage during the early game while damage upgrades on small ships and the battlecruiser are minimal. On top of transferring 250 energy, any ship with the buff will regenerate 20 hull per seconds for 180 seconds, effectively creating a situation where it can simply soak up large amount of damage and escape at the end if necessary. However, the effectiveness of nanites wears out during the late game since the regeneration does not scale in any way.
