I can’t believe I just discovered this today, 100+ hours in. As I’m sitting in the station waiting for more ships to land so I can scrap them for modules and storage augmentations, I remembered that you can view both class and price of ships (freighters too) through the analysis visor.

I was going up to each pilot to make an offer. Lots of running, lots of interactions.

Don’t be an unroasted peanut like me. Use your analysis visor and look at the ships. Will save lots of steps.

I want the 3 thrusters in triangular formation, with the angled V wings, and the needle exotic cockpit. Or the Exotic ball cockpit with different combinations. I’m tired of waiting on the RNG to procedurally generate the ship that’s the design AND color I want. We should be able to buy/sell parts, build our own ship, and upgrade it like all others. I don’t need the parts to affect ship performance, we have upgrades for that. I just want to play mad scientistp with different designs. And paint it the colors I want. We can already do this with our character models, now let’s have it with our starships!
