Revision 1

Designing and building your own ships is a central feature of SpaceCraft. You build ships by assembling crafted parts into custom vessels suited to your playstyle.

Assembling From Parts

Ships are constructed from the parts you craft. Whether you are building small, nimble vessels or heavy transport cruisers, each added component impacts their performance. Because every part matters, ship building is as much about choosing the right components as it is about the overall shape of the vessel.

Ships for Different Roles

You can customize every aspect of your vessel to suit how you want to play. Common directions include:

Build It Yourself or Use a Blueprint

You can design and build a ship part by part, or take a shortcut. You can buy Blueprints from other players for ready-made designs that you can build instantly, and once you have perfected your own ship, you can sell its blueprint so others can build and pilot your creation. See Blueprints for how the design economy works.

Parts Come From Crafting

The parts you assemble come from the crafting system, which in turn depends on the raw materials you mine. So a strong shipyard is backed by a steady supply of resources and refined materials. See Crafting and Mining and Resources.
