Ships

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.

Controls

First Person View from inside a ship's Cockpit

Players will be able to fly all ships from a 1^st person perspective and from a 3^rd person perspective. Maximum ship speed is at 1,002,584.2 m/s (~1/300th of the speed of light), 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

Differences between large and small grids.

	small ship	large ship/station
Block edge-length	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.

Auto-piloted cargo ships

Cargo Ships

Patch 01.023.000 added cargo ships that carry wares from "sector to sector" (no sector present in game). 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)
