Replacement ship question - Upgrading to new ship

[EyeH8ppl]

Hi all. How do I make sure when I make a new ship to replace my current ship that I get as much materials and money back for it as possible? Do i just go into build mode and remove as much as possible and put my turrets/upgrades in my inventory? Or can I do both and make sure the hull is destroyed by an enemy so I get insurance money? Fraud, right? LOL

Help is appreciated.

removing parts in buildmode will yield 100% of the money and resources used (not including shipyard costs). If you're looking to completely start your ship over, or atleast rebuild a large portion of your ship, just remove whatever blocks you don't want there anymore. if you want to start your ship completely over, you can just select drag your entire ship, turn off safe mode, and then hit that delete button. It'll "destroy" your ship, but you'll get all your turrets and upgrades back, and you will lose any crew, fighters, fighter blueprints. Cargo will be thrown out into space..

If you're looking to replace your entire ship with a different blueprint of a ship, just open up the saves ship designs, select the ship you want to replace it with, and hit the apply button to apply the blueprint to your ship.

If you want to make an -additional- ship, exit into your drone and start a new ship like the say you did when you first begain. You'll then have two ships.


The biggest thing to worry about when removing a ship is the crew. If you've got a lot of trained crew that you'd like to keep, it's either best not to destroy your entire ship, or atleast create a second ship to transfer the crew over to until you've remade some crew quarters on your newly desired ship, and then transfer them back. If you have cargo, it might be good to transfer the cargo to the temporary ship aswell.

I can't think of anything else really, but hopefully that covers most options and grounds :)

Thanks for that info... very helpful. I was just gonna wipe out my whole crew and then buy more, but now I can save them.
