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.

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 sticky pistons up to 0.015 * block count or sqrt(block count), whichever value is smaller. The switch occurs for ships around 4444 blocks.
Warships can mount half as many sticky pistons as a trade ship of the same size.
