Buy what fits, lock what you need, and learn when a cheap common beats a flashy rare. Optimize the Design Positioning is the core of the game. Move parts around to manage resources, connect item effects, and stack bonuses. Build something reliable, or commit to one risky combo and hope it fires first. Take It to Battle Battles play out automatically, but you decide when your ship is ready to fight. Your current build is matched against stored ships from other players.
