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 speak with the [[vendor]], you can either buy a new [[ship]], or edit a starship you currently own.

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.

When Building your ship, know that there are some parts which have to be apart of the ship no matter what.
