    MAKING A WORKING SHIP

    first place down a core and enter build mode, ensure you have the required blocks listed below;

    -ship core

    -weapons computer

    -anti matter cannons

    -hull

    -SD HTC xm3.4 power

    -SD pc1.3 power tank

    -shields dispersers

    -hyperflux coil thruster

    put the weapons computer down and press 'C' over it if it is not selected. Add anti matter cannons to it. Add some power generators and shields then engines. Power tanks are only needed on much larger ships. Add some hull to the outside for extra protection. Make sure you still have access to the core.
