Ship Building

At any Ship Services Technician or shipyard you enter the ship builder and snap modules — cockpits, habs, reactors, grav drives, engines, shields, weapons and landing/docking gear — onto a hull, with the reactor’s output capping how many powered systems you can run at once. Ships are graded Class A, B or C by reactor and mass, and flying the heavier B- and C-class hulls requires ranks in the Piloting skill. The 2026 Free Lanes update layered on ship optimization via the scavenged resource X-Tech, letting you push modules and weapons into new Superior and Exceptional quality tiers.
