Description
Ships are the primary means of travel, both intrasystem with a Public Shuttle, and interstellar. A list of all private ships currently available can be found below1.
Ship2 | Mass (kg) | Cargo capacity (t) | Acceleration (G) | Fuel capacity (g) | Max range (km) | Availability | Price (credits) | Prerequisites |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Private Shuttle | 8800 | 0 | 2,427 | 5 | 2145548 | København, Daedalus, Yards of Gadani | 210000 | Basic Ship Handling |
Mantis Class Private Cruiser | 9150 | 0 | 4,217 | 17,5 | 4156560 | The House of Congo | 615000 | Basic Ship Handling? |
Razorback | 9500 | 0 | 14,5 | 90 | 5987859 | Yards of Gadani | 995000 | Advanced Ship Handling |
Locker Installation
Any private ship can have a storage locker installed for 50 slots of storage. Installation is done in any Station that has a Shipyard and it takes 10 days, or less if you spend bonds for every 50 % decrease. The price of the storage locker seems to be $12 \times StationFuelPrice$ (Experiment 210.27). This means that the storage locker price fluctuates as the Stations' economy, and that lower level stations will tend to have lower locker prices.
Maintenance
All current ships have the same cost maintenance.
The time required to repair is always the same at about 83 units per repair %.
The cost per repair % is 20 credits to patch up at the Docks, 36 credits to patch at the Shipyard, and 50 credits to refurbish at the Shipyard (plus a 1000 credits fee).
As an overall strategy, patch up time and cost seem independent of any condition so repair when and where needed, and use the most convenient immediate refurbish at the Shipyard if credits are not an issue.
The most time-efficient strategy is to immediate refurbish at any Shipyard, but it has a 1000 credits fee added to the cost per repair %.
The most cost-efficient strategy is to patch up at the Docks, and then refurbish at the Shipyard, but in the former 50 % Focus and Stamina is consumed, and you are "confined to the Docks until repairs are complete" (with cut wait time by 50%" with 10 bonds).
See Experiment 212.29 for more detail about these tips.
Fuel
Refuelling can have a significative budget impact. High-level stations tend to have higher fuel prices, but the value also change daily according to the station's economy factor, as a representation of its overall activity, As a reference, 400 credits per gram represents a good price. University courses under ship-engineering can reduce fuel consumption. The time required is about 315 unit per gram, without the possibility for a partial refuel.
Ship | Full refuelling cost at a good price (credits) | Full refuelling cost at a max price (credits) |

Private Shuttle | 2000 | 56250 |
Mantis Class Private Cruiser | 7000 | 196875 |
Razorback | 36000 | 1012500 |
Fuel Consumption
Just for fun: The actual code that determines how much fuel is consumed based on distance traveled and fuel efficiency, using genuine scientific formulae:
sub fuel_consumption ( $self, $kilometers ) {
my $meters = $kilometers * 1000; # keep units in calculations the same# force = mass * acceleration
# A newton is the force that would give a mass of one kilogram an
# acceleration of one meter per second per second
my $force
= $self->kilograms * $self->acceleration_in_meters_per_second; # newtons# A joule is the energy transferred to an object when a force of one
# newton acts on that object in the direction of its motion through a
# distance of one meter
my $energy_required = $force * $meters; # joules# Solving for mass is:
# E=mc^2 -> m=E/c^2
my $kilograms_of_antimatter
= $energy_required / ( config(qw/physics speed_of_light/)**2 );# divide by 2 because half is matter, the other half is anti-matter
$kilograms_of_antimatter /= 2;my $grams = $kilograms_of_antimatter * 1000;
return $grams / $self->engine_efficiency;
}

Additional information from the storyline
A ship the Revenge, from the pirate Captain Drake, was first mentioned by Pompano, as she usually docks in the Docks København Docks at København (X Marks Our Shot).
Lunt told me a wide-spread rumour about some ancient pre-cat style unmanned ship appearing and disappearing around the system, loaded to the hull with tech, and riches. Maybe even seeds and resources. Plenty of privateers would love to snare the thing (X Marks Our Shot).
Red Jane probably has her own ship too (X Marks Our Shot).
