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 and game's performance[1].
Contents
Controls
Players will be able to fly all ships from a 1st person perspective and from a 3rd person perspective[2]. Maximum ship speed is at 1,002,584.2 m/s (~1/300th of the speed of light)[3], but at the moment the maximum set ingame is 104.7m/s. However, this limit can be modded, resulting in many maximum speed altering mods.
Alpha
Large and small ships are be available during alpha.
Large and Small Ships
| small ship | large ship/station | |
|---|---|---|
| Block edge-length[4] | 0.5m | 2.5m |
| Number of cockpits | 2 + 1 Passenger seat | 3 + 1 Passenger seat |
| Blocks | Not all blocks are available | Every block is available |
| Interior | Not designed to have interior | Are designed to have interior (Gravitaty Generator, Oxygen,...) |
| Weaponry | Gatling Gun, reloadable Rocket Launcher | Rocket Launcher, different Turrets |
Large ship blocks have 5x5x5 times more mass and strength, which results in higher durability[5].
Auto-piloted cargo ships
Patch 01.023.000 added cargo ships that carry wares from "sector to sector" (no sector present in game)[6]. Those ships spawns between 10 to 15 km from the center of the map each 10-15 minutes at random location. They are not piloted and fly straight forward with initial speed ranged from 10 to 25 m/s with inertial dampener turned off. Some of the ships have turrets outside and inside which will fire upon moving objects in their vicinity.
Those vessels can be captured for personal use, loot or salvage. Most of the ships have puzzles that player have to solve before successful ship operation:
- Finding the cockpit
- No fuel problem
- Thrusters with warheads after them, so with reverse applied ship explodes (not working if thruster damage is off)
Ship types
| Civil | Mining | Military | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small | Private Sail | Mining Carriage | Military Escort |
| Medium | Business Shipment | Mining Transport | Military Minelayer |
| Large | Commercial Freighter | Mining Hauler | Military Transporter |
- Civil ships
- Blue and white paint, contain solar panels.
- Carry constructions components, metals.
- Miner ships
- Yellow and black paint, have frontal landing gears.
- Carry ores.
- Military ships
- Black and grey paint, heavy armored hull.
- Carry weapons, explosives, warheads and ammunitions.
