Just so I can build spaceships.
It’s just sooooo addictive and fun. But as long as there is no Sandbox mode, or a mode to save spaceship designs, I just can’t do it without using piles of money.
It’s not that I’m short of money (had like 700k when I started building like crazy), but wasting all that money just for a few ships I like, fly once or twice for fun, and then completely scrap and rebuild into new ones is just not feasible.
So, while I’m sad that I disabled achievements (and am too lazy to use ScriptExtender + AchievementUnlocker), I can now properly play “Space Lego”.
That’s all and thank you for coming to my TED talk.
Folk are saying steal a ship to add to your fleet to get slot for a custom ship… you have to register a stolen ship before you can enter the ship builder but almost every cheap stolen ship I’ve ever captured has been 10k or 11k to register. I one time got like a level 4 ecliptic ship that was 9.8k to register but that was the cheapest. The ports sell ships for 6k - 7k. I also think the commerce perk gets them cheaper but I don’t know if it affects registration price at all. Don’t waste time pirating ships just to replace all the parts, just buy the cheapest ship. Best thing to do with most pirate ships, if you happen to have one is register and sell it to make a couple thousand credits.
