The game can be started in two ways: New Game and Ship Editor. The two modes appear identical, with Ship Editor starting with the [[ship editor]] menu active to allow loading out a ship with $1 million to spend and New Game giving the player the option of a few ship layouts and funding amounts to begin. | The game can be started in two ways: New Game and Ship Editor.

At the start of a normal game, you have only an empty vessel in a system with [[trade]] and [[Contract|story contracts]], but no [[shipyard]]. The exceptions are the [[The Praxis]], which starts with some materials, and Shipyard, which starts the game in a system with a shipyard. A few [[crew member]]s in [[space suit]]s arrive via [[shuttle]] in the first few moments of the game, and it is up to the player to turn this vessel into a functioning ship. | At the start of a normal game, you have only an empty vessel in a system with [[trade]] and [[Contract|story contracts]], but no [[shipyard]].
