Base Building?

[GeforceJoe]

Are we able to build our own base? The can commence its own trade to generate passive income possibly? Or even just to create our own base to drop off mass resources for factories instead of having multiple ship roles in this should we want to play like this?

No there is no way to make a station to trade with the NPCs, most you'll have is a large cargo ship

There is no Tradebase as far as I know.

But You can actually Build a Base.
Which is not Surprising because the NPC Bases are just Ships.

And You can have Multiple Ships.



So You can basicly build a Large Ship with nothing but the Control Thrusters.
And then add Factories and Storage.
Which is Technically a Ship.
But really works as a Station.

Some People actually do that so their Ship is small and fast. Without them needing to have so much Cargospace and Factories.

But you would need crew still to hire to man the second base ship for say right? I need to figure out how to build a second ship lol.

If I leave a ship just sitting somewhere would I have to worry about it being attacked while I am off with my other ship?

Upper Left Corner of the Screen the Button with the Spaceship Symbol lets You Build a New Ship next to Your current one.


As for Crew. Yes the Limit is for you as a whole so all Ships share it.
So a Permanent Ship/Station is more something for later when You got higher Rank.
Albeit a Reactor with Cargospace Cockpit and Factories doesnt need much.
You can likely Run it with like 3-6 Crew.
Production might be Slow but since its doing it while You are away that would not matter.



And Well.
Easiest way to keep it Safe is to put it next to an NPC Station with Defense Platforms.

Amazing! Can’t wait to get home and mess around with this! Thanks

Yeah you can definitely build like a big platform to store goods at. I'm currently using such a warehouse in my game. i also prefer to put production facilities in my bases, rather than having them on ships (except in certain particular instances).

I actually took over a base I failed to save and just added into it lol
