Q.Can you explain how ship building works in No Man's Sky?
A.No Man's Sky now lets you design and build your own Corvette-class ships using salvageable parts and a dedicated assembly workflow at space stations, combining exterior and interior customization with modular parts.

The core idea is a two‑step process: salvage for parts and then assemble your own Corvette at the Corvette Workshop using the Starship Fabricator. You can customize both the exterior and interior, choosing from a catalog of modules that affect look and performance, and you can walk around the finished ship’s interior (even with friends) for shared spaceflight experiences. This system adds working ship modules, interior styles, and cockpit options to make each Corvette unique.

To actually build a Corvette, you first grab Corvette modules from salvage or stores and then assemble them with a Reactor Core. A reactor core (purchased from a space station tech merchant) sets the ship’s class and baseline stats, while salvage gives you customization modules (e.g., wings, thrusters, hulls, cockpits) that you combine in the Fabricator. The Corvette Workshop houses the parts, and you can save a draft Corvette as you piece it together. Modules are single‑use, so you’ll collect more parts to iterate on new designs.
