Ships may be built out of a mix of resources mined in space and material boosted from Earth. Individual ships are constructed at habs at a space dock, shipyard, or spaceworks module. Once you have a shipyard, you can build the ships themselves out of your space resources and, if necessary, boost and money. With the right modules, ships can prospect and found habitats, but the primary role for most ships is combat.Īt any time, you can design ships out of the modules you've developed. Once the factions unlock the early-game orbital shipbuilding tech, and the follow-on space dock project for their habs, they can build interplanetary spacecraft.

All the covert machinations on Earth and industrialization efforts in space are the path for factions to build fleets of ships to protect and advance their interests.
