Is it possible to claim then repair and take over derelict ships?

[1stReaper]

Hi, as the title says, im just curious as to if its possible to claim/repair/transfer over/ to a derelict ship you've fully explorered, cleared and claimed ?

As im having a little bit of trouble modding my starting plaform / unable to transfer items from the abandoned station to a ship im building,

i was wondering if i could repair one of the derelict ships that you can have in your sector?

as i've just noticed a Derelict i like the layout off, but building and copying the layout myself is going to take a far bit of time.

there are two types of abandoned ships. derelicts and claimable ships. derelicts can only be looted for resources and scrap. claimable ships can be claimed, repaired and used.

alrighty, cheers bud,

i think i set the starting ship in my sector as a claimable one,, i cant remember
but no worries, if/when i start a new game ill set up for a claimable ship.

if i have any problems you alright with me hitting you up here for advice?
(cant check atm, as i've gotta set off to work :'<)

thanks and cheers.

You misunderstand, you do not get to choose if a ship is claimable or not. They simply are or they are not. Claimable ships are fairly rare, most of the derelicts you will encounter will not be claimable.

@wantoomany
I must be reading it incorrectly, or the "Claimable Ship" option must mean something else

New game > Normal + Basic Platform/Abandoned Mining Station >
Difficulty > Peaceful ~ Harsh >
Edit > Start Sector > + > Gold Triangle (Claimable Ship, Random faction ~ other factions)

No, you are right I misread. My apologies. Yes, you can set the starting options to have anything you like, claimable or otherwise. I read your comment wrong and assumed you wanted to change how derelicts already on the map behave.

no worries :),
and ah i see. yh im all good with the "derelict ships", :)
ive played enough post-apoc games or sim management games to know
derelict/ruins mean exactly what they imply :),,, no amount of super glue and ducttape will fix em lol.

was just curious as to if and how i claim repair/take over abandoned ships worked and how to do so :)...

Good news in regards to that tho :),
i managed to figure out how to correctly claim the ships and repair them,,,,
sadly ive not been able to find another ship that had the same layout as the one i liked before...
but hey... at least i still got the original save XD

Thanks both of ya'll :)

XD
all's good :).
i managed to figure it out,
not sure if ill be starting a new game yet.

as im attempting to build the R-Type ship :),,, going along fairly decently...
