You can create a brand-new [[Starship]] directly from scratch by speaking to a [[Ship Vendor]]. One of the first [[Vendors]] you'll meet is also one of the easiest to access, you will find him in [[New Atlantis]] in the [[Alpha Centauri]] [[system]]. | |||
As you speak with the vendor, you can either buy a new [[ship]], or edit a starship you currently own. Select the option to view or modify your ship, then choose the ship you would like to modify, and press X on controller (B on keyboard) to get to the [[Ship Builder]]. From here you can either delete or move things piece by piece, or you can delete everything at one time to start from scratch. | |||

As you fly around the universe, you will find that there are different Starship, and Starship part classes. | As you fly around the universe, you will find that there are different Starship, and Starship part classes. | ||
Class A | *'''[[Class A Ships]]''' are normally low [[firepower]], but have high [[mobility]]. | ||
Class B | *'''[[Class B Ships]]''' have moderate firepower and moderate mobility. | ||
Class C | *'''[[Class C Ships]]''' have high firepower and low mobility. | ||
Until you are able to level up your Piloting Skill, you are only able to Pilot Class A ships, and use Class A modules (ship parts). Furthermore, the class of your Reactor determines what class of modules you can use on your ship. Pay attention to what parts you purchase as you can purchase items you may not be able to place on your starship. | Until you are able to level up your [[Piloting]] [[Skill]], you are only able to Pilot Class A ships, and use Class A modules (ship parts).

Before you get started, there is a size limit when building your ship. When in the Ship Builder screen, you are not able to build beyond 40m in length and width, and 9m in height. If you try to place any Starship modules, beyond these parameters, you will receive an error. A good thing to keep in mind as you look at ship parts is most of these pieces have stats that provide different benefits. Some pieces have specific stats, a weapon module will show what type of damage it will do, cockpits may show extra Cargo space, as well as how many crew stations there are on your ship. Engines will have the amount of thrust, and the engines health. Fuel Tanks will show how much fuel it holds, and Shield modules will show the Shields max health and Regen rate. | Before you get started, there is a size limit when building your ship.
