Space Ships

Every space ship has a classification (class), cargo capability measured in tonnes, and available passenger compartments. Ship classes from 1 to 10 can be purchased from NPC space stations, yet the availability of ships between class 6 to 10 may be limited. Classes 11 or higher must be manufactured or purchased from players. All ships can be purchased from the Galactic Market (if available) or manufactured from private space stations (if blueprints are discovered through salvaging wrecks).

Every ship has modules which can be added or removed from the Refit Ship section of the Shipyards in the NPC station or from private space stations. Waervyn's Ship Fitting Video

To change ships, the Hangar button will show you a list of your ships available in that space station. Your previous ship will stay in that respective space station.

To rename your ship, click the Manage button at the bottom of your interface. Then select the input box beside Rename Ship, enter your ship name, then hit return.

To access the ship computer, click Manage, then Computer. An easier method is to use CTRL-C.

Ships can be painted at private space stations. A window with sliders will appear allowing you to change the ship color, the ship windows color, and the ship stripes color. Paint is only applied when you click the Paint button. To see your ship, scroll the mouse scroll button to change views.

Here is a nice overview of each of the ship classes: Waervyn's Ship Types Video

Bowhead

The Bowhead is the first pure freighter available in the game. While only requiring the same astrogation modules as the Class 12 "Seraph" light cruiser, the Bowhead has double the available hull space, for the steep price of never being able to fit significant weapons, armour or shields. The Bowhead is the first ship to provide thrust in all six directions, providing excellent docking and mining manoeuvrability, somewhat offset by its slowness, bulk and mass.

The Bowhead was given to those player that participated in the Kickstarter 2014 Campaign.
