Shuttles are the first Civilian Ship Type, and are unlocked by default.

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

Specifications

Requires 10% Concrete

At max size a shuttle is capable of having:

15 Crates
7.5 double chests
1 Tier 1 Mining Laser
A Basic Probe Launcher

Additionally, shuttles have a unique property:

Can use /jump without a Navigation Computer.

Pod Shuttle

Pod Shuttles (100 blocks) are an unofficial subclass of Shuttles used primarily for cheap player transit and suicide missions. They act as budget Recons, being small and agile, though with limited Combat Capabilities. Because they are the smallest possible ships, Pod Shuttles have large advantages in speed and evasion versus other Civil Ships. However, in a minimum size Starship, it is generally accepted to not be economical to include Crate slots or a Mining Laser, due to the ship's lack of Storage Capacity.

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. A Transport can carry twice as many crates as the Shuttle, while having the same Jump Time.

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
Multiple chests for item storage
Power machines, like Item Chargers
