Ships
Ships are the main focus of the game. Players can build and customize their ships to match their play style and the kinds of contracts they want to take on.
Various ship vessels can be purchased from shipyards. There are very few requirements of a ship, but it is generally advised to set up life support systems early, followed by propulsion.
