The following concepts are extremely important for understanding starship behavior in Horizon's End.
A block on a starship where the main controls are accessed.
/listships and in certain server events. Type the ship's new name in chat.Read the Piloting Guide for more information.
Starships must be assigned a class which dictates their block count and performance at different tasks.
| Name | Minimum Size | Maximum Size | Level | Maximum Crates | Maximum Turrets (PDT/LT/HT/TT) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shuttle | 100 | 1,000 | 1 | 14 | 0/0/0/0 |
| Transport | 1,000 | 2,000 | 10 | 29 | 1/0/0/0 |
| Light Freighter | 2,000 | 4,000 | 20 | 59 | 1/0/0/0 |
| Medium Freighter | 4,000 | 8,000 | 40 | 89 | 2/1/0/0 |
| Heavy Freighter | 8,000 | 12,000 | 60 | 109 | 3/1/1/1 |
| Name | Minimum Size | Maximum Size | Level | Optimal Shields | Maximum Turrets (PDT/LT/HT/TT) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starfighter | 350 | 500 | 1 | 1 | 0/0/0/0 |
| Gunship | 500 | 2,000 | 10 | 3 | 1/1/0/0 |
| Corvette | 2,000 | 4,000 | 20 | 6 | 1/1/0/1 |
| Frigate | 4,000 | 8,000 | 40 | 12 | 2/1/1/1 |
| Destroyer | 8,000 | 12,000 | 60 | 17 | 3/1/1/1 |
| Name | Minimum Size | Maximum Size | Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| Speeder | 25 | 100 | 1 |
| Platform | 25 | 500,000 | 1 |
The following concepts are nice to know for understanding starship behavior in Horizon's End.
The blast resistance of blocks affects the amount of damage that shields take.
Read the Blast Resistance guide for more information.
Trade ships can mount crates (or sticky pistons) up to 0.015 * block count or sqrt(block count), whichever value is smaller. The switch occurs for ships around 4444 blocks.
Trade ships can mount containers up to 0.045 * block count where 1 container is equivalent to 1/9 of an inventory slot (e.g., a chest with 27 inventory slots is equivalent to 3 containers, and a trade ship of size 8,000 can mount 360 containers or 120 chests.)
Warships can mount half as many sticky pistons/crates and containers as a trade ship of the same size.

You can change how power is allocated between three different systems in your ship:
You can change your power mode with /pm (Shield power) (Weapon power) (Thruster power). The numbers you input must add to 100. A system's power cannot be below 10 or above 50. You can assign these modes to a sign by writing [powermode] on a sign and setting the second, third, and fourth lines to your desired shield, weapon, and thruster power.
