=== How can I move crew members, resources, or items between ships? ===
Currently, the only way to transfer items is by selling them to the [[Trade]]r and re-purchasing them on the desired ship. Resources outside of [[canister]]s cannot be transferred. Selling [[tank]]s will destroy any resources contained within them. [[Crew Member]]s cannot be sold.
There are two ways to transfer items between your ships. Firstly, you can transfer items via drones using the logistics menu. This will allow you to transfer all items except [[Crew Member|crew members]].
 
The second method is to dock your ship to the other ship using the tactical view and aligning the two diamonds, when done correctly the docking port extends. Once connected, you can use the logistics menu to transfer items between your ships including crew members. In this case your crew will carry them over instead of the drones.  


'''Note:''' Your fleet only requires one [[FTL Drive]]. When activated, all ships—even those without fuel, engines, or crew—will enter FTL travel.

Before you purchase anything else for your ship, select the newly purchased ship and buy a matching number of crew members and space suits. If you purchase other items first, they will be stuck in the queue without anyone to move them. If you don't buy space suits, the crew members will refuse to leave the [[shuttle]].

You may also dock your old ship to your new ship and using the logistics menu transfer your crew over. They will automatically put on a spacesuit if there is no atmosphere in the other ship.

No. It is currently impossible to dock ships or directly transfer crew, items, or resources between them.
Using the tactical screen, align the two diamond shaped dots outside of your docking ports. When done correctly the docking port extends and connects to the other friendly ship.

No. The only way to remove a ship is to target it with your weapons in the Tactical view and destroy it. Make sure to sell all items and resources on the ship first, as you can only loot boxed equipment, and some items may be lost after the ship is destroyed.
