cost - increases based on part's costs mass - increases based on part's masses speed - based on mass and engine parts range - based on engines and fuel tanks power - based on reactors other categories/features are added if appropriate parts are added weapons: - lasers are instant lines, but damage degrades with distance squared - projectiles have a speed and must actually impact, and can impact allies cockpit / bridge starts every ship crew modules ? hibernation modules? colonization modules? fuel tanks, reactors, warp drives, teleport systems, armor, shielding... I want to focus on larger ships and not too much detail. Icons are based on mass of ships. Also, each type of module has a probability modifier to say how likely it is to be hit by enemy fire (essentially, is it an internal component or not). Parts can be damaged or destroyed. Damaged parts can be partially functional, and can be repaired when out of combat. Destroyed parts can only be repaired at dry dock.
