Shuttles are the first tier of Trade [[Starship|Ship Types]]. Shuttle craft are diverse thanks to their wide size range, allowing a designer to make a small passenger pod, a low-profile salvage vessel, or a hefty hauler ship. Compared to the [[Starfighter]] class, Shuttles can carry more containers, more cargo, and can mount mining lasers.
'''Shuttles''' are the first Civilian [[Starship|Ship Type]].  


The Vesta is generally understood to be the best NPC dealer ship available. It costs only 200 credits and allows for players to easily haul cargo, do commissionsy, or just explore the galaxy.
The Vesta and Ozark are the two shuttle class ships available from the NPC [[Ship Dealer]].  


The features of this tier are:
== Specifications ==
* 15 Crate slots
* 7.5 double chests
* 1 tier 1 mining laser
* Can use /jump without a [[Navigation Computer]].


* Standard size between 100 and 1,000 blocks
== Tips ==
* Can jump without a navigation computer; this GREATLY reduces jump range, and uses a lot of fuel!
Shuttles are flexible because of their size, and are best used to ferry players around the galaxy. If you are a new player and this is your only trade ship class, it's recommended that you do [[Daily Commissions]] to make money rather than [[cargo hauling]].
* Can hold a maximum of 14-15 [[Crate]]s at max size
* Jump range of 16,000 blocks(?)


=== Tips ===
If building a cargo shuttle, a 1,000 block maximum size is able to accommodate 15 cargo crates. Since the crates count as blocks once loaded, this must be accounted for in the hull's design.

Shuttles are the first Civilian Ship Type.

The Vesta and Ozark are the two shuttle class ships available from the NPC Ship Dealer.

Specifications

  • 15 Crate slots
  • 7.5 double chests
  • 1 tier 1 mining laser
  • Can use /jump without a Navigation Computer.

Tips

Shuttles are flexible because of their size, and are best used to ferry players around the galaxy. If you are a new player and this is your only trade ship class, it's recommended that you do Daily Commissions to make money rather than cargo hauling.

If building a cargo shuttle, a 1,000 block maximum size is able to accommodate 15 cargo crates. Since the crates count as blocks once loaded, this must be accounted for in the hull's design.

Try to aim for:

  • 985 blocks when empty (1,000 total - 15 crates)

Optionally, you can add:

  • Tier 2/3 hyperdrive
  • Advanced navigation computer
  • Tier 1 mining laser (this requires power generation capabilities either in the ship or on a friendly base)
  • Multiple chests for item storage
  • Power machines, like item chargers
