Ships can be constructed and navigated by players. Ships are not limited in the size and scope to which they can be built, however excessive builds will adversely affect ship's performance.[1]
Contents
Controls
Players will be able to fly most ships from a 1st person perspective and from a 3rd person perspective. If the ship is large, 3rd person perspective will be the only view available.[2] Maximum ship speed is speculated at 300 m/s[3] but at the moment the maximum is 104.7m/s.
Alpha
Large and small ships will be available during alpha.
Large and Small Ships
The differences in Large ships compared to small ships has been summarized as following:
- large ships have few additional block types - interior wall, turrets, door, different cockpit
- large ships are designed to have interiors, whereas small ships are not made this way (they could have interiors but that's not their purpose)
- large ships can take more damage (their armor has 5x5x5 more mass and strength)[4]
Auto-piloted cargo ships
Patch 01.023.000 added cargo ships auto-piloted vessels carry wares from "sector to sector"(no sector ingame)[5]. Those vessels can be capture for personnal use, loot or salvage. They often contains traps with energy-puzzle or explosive/truster combo. They are not AI/mobs as they only fly straight forward. They spawn between 10 to 15 km from the player with initial speed and inertial dampener turn to off, those who contains turrets will not engage players or return fire.
- Miners class ships, yellow predominant color, carry ores and refined ores, contains few smalls/larges cargos
- Freithers class ships, blue predominant color, carry constructions components and can be associate with commercial representative vessels, their design often contains solars panels.
- Military class ships, black predominant color, carry weapons, explosives, warheads and ammunitions, those vessels are heavily armored and their traps are well hidden. Many interiors and exteriors turrets.
