The Captain Outfitter is one of the outfitters that has included in Spore Galactic Adventures and allows the player to equip their Captain with up to 32 new parts and abilities, alongside the clothing parts from the Outfit Editor. Abilities range from combat and survivability to socializing and mobility.
Captains can unlock up to 10 new weapons and abilities by advancing in rank, which is achieved by acquiring Captain Points (by completing missions). Advancing one rank gives the player the ability to choose one accessory from one of the eight different sets of tools (referred to as a "tool-set"). Parts in a tool-set must be unlocked in order, going from left to right.
Every philosophy, except Knight and Wanderer, has its own tool-set of equipment. Tools are Weapons or Abilities used on a Adventure. Collecting the fourth part in a philosophy's tool-set awards the respective philosophy's Consequence ability for saved games to use in the Space stage.

Warrior - Raw damage at a High energy cost
- Bladed Knuckles - Claw-like gloves worn on the creature that can be used to attack targets in a strike-like fashion, for an energy cost. They can be upgraded to do more damage in exchange for a higher energy cost. Replaces the creature's Bite ability.
- Plasma Pulser - A gun-like weapon that shoots a blast of energy, for an energy cost. Similar to, and as such replaces, the creature's Spit ability. Can be upgraded to do more damage, for a higher energy cost.
- Lightning Striker - A sword-like energy weapon used to inflict damage by cutting and striking targets. Enemies hit by this attack become stunned by the electricity. Can be upgraded to do more damage for a higher energy cost. Replaces the creature's Strike ability.

Notes[]
- Pressing the key combo to create a new creature (Control-N) causes the outfitter to default to a pre-made captain with heavy armor and a randomly selected color with the default paint patterns. This does not match the other creature outfitters, which all show an error message stating that "This creation cannot be loaded" and resetting the color scheme of the creature.
- Occasionally, a creature with Hop Gogs will not dance when commanded to do so, although the disco floor will still appear underneath them.
- As none of the effects from any of the parts stack, it is recommended to remove old parts when upgrades become available.
- Due to a developer oversight, the armour parts from the Tribal stage will still increase the captain's health. The 'Singuard' part offers the best bonus of 10 additional health.
- Obtaining consequence abilities (from unlocking the fourth part from a philosophy's tool-set) is especially useful for Zealots and Scientists, whose superpowers break the Galactic Code.

Trivia[]
- The Bladed Knuckles are similar in appearance to the Lightning claws from Warhammer 40,000. They also appear similar to the claws of the Marvel character Wolverine.
- The Zealot armor is similar to medieval period European knight's armor, but the helm looks like a Spanish conquistador's helm (this may be a reference to the achievement of the same name). This is probably a reference to the fact that the Conquistadors had similar attitudes as Zealots do in Spore.
- The Power Battery has a striking resemblance to the health-meter on the back of the RIG armor from video game series Dead Space, which was also made by EA around the time of Spore's release.
- The Stealth Helmet is similar to those found in Halo ODST, without the mouthpiece and visor.
- The Toxic Crystal is similar to Protoss psionic blades from StarCraft games, it may be a reference to the fact that Protoss philosophy is similar to Shamans and Zealots
- The Lightning Striker may be a reference to lightsabers from Star Wars, or the energy swords from Halo.
