Planning for Ships

Malash

As we're getting closer to release, I'm wondering if it might be possible for us to find out the number of rooms and their functions for at least the basic ship model provided during the newbie intro? I for one would love the chance to start figuring out what will go where, and I strongly suspect I'm not the only one.

Unless I'm missing something  (which is entirely possible), that gives the number of mod slots available, not the number and purpose of buildable rooms.

I can't see anything in this post that relates to the number and layout of the rooms

Ugh. I thought I saw that mentioned somewhere and just figured it was that post. My bad.

Malash

No worries!

We haven't done an in-depth info dump, but I touched on it here: https://forums.starmourn.com/discussion/comment/3777/#Comment_3777

Feel free to post up any questions, and I'll do my best to answer them!

How many rooms does the starter ship allow for?

Oryx

@Malash To answer your specific question, the starter ship can only accommodate one more room in the refit. However, like Tecton mentioned in his post you can get a module to add more rooms. The tradeoff is that small ships like the starter one are very limited in modules. Not to mention it's going to use power and other ship resources, so a refit mod may not be a great choice unless you really just want a ship that is basically a tiny-house-boat.

Building a new ship relatively early on in the game isn't going to be ridiculously expensive either; we just fleshed out the final look/feel of the shipforge system and definitely want to see a variety of ships out there, not just the little free speeders. Currently there's... 35 different superstructures to choose from, and we want to see them in action!

I'll put together some more info on this when I take a break from SUPER SECRET STUFF and post it up later today.

Yay SUPER SECRET STUFF and yay ship stuff!

I would like to see the types of ships there will be... will there be exploration ships? Science ships? Or is everything combat oriented?
