	After getting your background information, you should be ready to start building your ship’s outer shell. Depending on how well-optimized you want your ship to be, this step could be completed alongside other steps. Below are some useful tips and design conventions.

	* Function isn't everything; pilot skill, numbers, or good tactics can make up for a suboptimal design.

	Once the outer shell is complete, you are ready to start shielding. Almost all ships use exclusively box shields and cheth shields, although some designs will opt to use the various sizes of sphere shield to save costs.

	* A Core Shield is a shield that is contained entirely within the hull, not hittable from the outside. It provides a second line of defense for larger ships, and is considered somewhat necessary on some ships for survivability or speed.		* A Core Shield is a shield that is contained entirely within the hull, not hittable from the outside.
