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
- Multiple chests for item storage
- Power machines, like Item Chargers
