  • if your hull is damaged and you have iron you can repair your ship by rightclicking a planet or space station
    • you get iron from destroying asteroids and pirates

ship editor

You can design your own spaceships with the built-in ship editor. It works similar to lego.

  • we've got a culling bug so i suggest starting the editor with commandline parameter "-se" that fixes the culling.
  • click on new at the menu to start with a single block (you need at least one block to attach other blocks)
  • you remove blocks with rightclick, and you can attach new block with leftclick if you select shippart/x from the tool-list on the right.
    • shippart/x are the different parts you can build your ship with, it works similar to lego.
    • the editor tries to guess a good position for the part and that works most of the time, but you can fine-tune it with the different other tools (rotate, mirror...)
  • the interface is still a bit strange as the editor is just a first experimental prototype of what we want to do later.
  • To try out ships you created see this page : HowToAddShips
