====== Ships & Space Travel ======

----

//Ships //act as the parties headquarters and base of operations. They allow players the freedom to explore galaxy and travel the stars. Every party will share one //ship //which is upgradeable and will grow with the party and their needs. Once acquired, a party will hold equal council over the //ship //and all //ship //based decisions must be agreed upon by the party collectively including travel destinations, ship upgrade and purchases, ship name etc.
==== Acquiring a Ship ====

Obtaining a //ship //will be your game's first big goal. It is recommended that the first mission of a new game should involve the players acquiring their //ship//. A party will need both a //ship //and a //pixie //before being able to undertake adventure modules. It is recommended a party spends their first 5 levels acquiring a //ship //and a //pixie//.
==== Ship Flight & Space Travel ====

//Ships //are capable of both atmospheric and space flight. For general flight the ship uses its //Arc Thrusters// which does not consume any additional resources. When a trip is of substantial distance, it instead uses its //Arc Drive// to jump which consumes //mana//. Each //ship //has its own //mana pool// in which it draws from to complete trips. //Trips //are defined into one of three distance based categories. Each distance type has its own //mana //cost, allowing for an easy and simplified way to determine fuel costs.

|**Short Distance:** \\ Trips within a single atmosphere. \\ Planet to moon, continent to continent, city to city.|50 Mana|
|**Medium Distance:** \\ Trips within a single or nearby star system.|150 Mana|
|**Long Distance:** \\ Intergalactic travel between star systems.|300 Mana|

Players can use //Arcanite //to replenish their //ships mana pool,// either directly from their inventory while aboard the //ship //or from the //ships cargo bay//.
==== Ship Classes ====

Ships are categorized into different classes, which dictate how many //ship modules //they can have at a time.

^Class^Module Limit^Upgrade Cost|
|**D** |4|N/A|
|**C** |6|10,000//ugc// |
|**B** |8|50,000//ugc// |
|**A** |10|100,000//ugc// |
|**S** |12|250,000//ugc// |
|**S1** |14|500,000//ugc// |
|**S2** |16+|1,000,000//ugc// |

==== Ship Modules & Upgrades ====

Ships can be upgraded in a variety of ways, from //class upgrades// and //ship modules to// weapons enhancements, decor and much more. Ships are meant to be an extension of the party, and scale with their needs. Ship upgrades can be purchased from either an NPC vendor, such as an engineer at a space port, or by crafting them at an //engineering bay. //Some ship modules will require a //Crew Assignment// to be fully operational.
