Exploration Tips
- Build an Outpost with a Landing Pad: The ship modification terminal at an outpost offers a wide variety of parts, but not all. Manufacturer-exclusive modules are only available directly from the manufacturer.
- Level up Piloting and Starship Design Skills: Some parts only become available after reaching a certain level in these skills.
- Compare designs: Visit multiple manufacturers before finalizing your ship. Each builder has a unique style and technical advantages.
