Ships

• Ship types

  Which ship types lie in wrecks?

  Most wrecks are Shuttles, Haulers, Fighters, and Explorers: the last three fill 66% of them. An Exotic is one in 310.

• Ship classes

  How do you find a class S crashed ship?

  Look for an Exotic: they are class S 66% of the time, against 1% for Haulers and 0.0062% for Explorers, since one roll sets type and class.

• Ship stats

  How strong can a claimed ship be?

  It depends on the ship type: a claimed Fighter reaches 359.5 damage, a Hauler 312.1 shield, an Exotic 557.3 maneuverability, an Interceptor 661.0 hyperdrive.

• How to upgrade a ship

  Should you upgrade a ship or find one at S?

  Upgrade a ship for its supercharged slots, which come in fixed order. Find one at S for its stats: an upgrade rolls once, a found ship keeps the better of two.

• Ship figures

  Which figure will a ship's four supercharged slots form?

  Four adjacent supercharged slots on a ship most often form a corner, 42%. An upright line never fits, because a ship's grid is three rows tall.

• The square on a ship

  How rare is a square on a ship?

  A square of supercharged slots is one in 1,500 wrecks, whatever the class. Interceptors land on one most often, one in 1,000.

• Interceptors

  How do you get a Sentinel Interceptor?

  Claim a crashed Sentinel ship on a dissonant planet that is no Waterworld, Dead, or Weird world: 3.6% of planets hold them, one form per system.

• Interceptor prices

  How much is a Sentinel Interceptor worth?

  What a Sentinel Interceptor is worth: its cargo slots set the price, 4.2 to 34.5 million units at class C, up to 51.5 million at class S.

• Living ships

  How do you get a living ship?

  Carry a Void Egg into space: a living ship hails you, and five missions later you claim it on a far planet, always class S. Each more ship costs another egg.

• Starship modules

  What can a starship upgrade module raise?

  Figurines and starship trails are not only looks: an Atlas Figurine adds 50 light years to the hyperdrive, and every trail adds 1% to boost.

• Corvettes

  How do you build the best corvette?

  Build the best corvette: finalise a small one, raise it to S, fill its technology slots with your own modules, and add compact parts last.

• Corvette modules

  What can a corvette upgrade module raise?

  A corvette's flight control upgrades raise both stats their card shows at every class: the class only moves how far each one rises.
