Making a space ship

## Requirements:

* Your spaceship has to be closed, there can be no holes. (at least in the room the board computer is) Use doors, air locks, modular gates or teleporters to exit and enter. Otherwise your ship can be any shape or any size. A horizontal ship will reach Menelaus high in the sky but a vertical ship (240 blocks high) will fit in the vertical space of Minecraft. A tiny ship requires less thrusters and fuel to transport.

* Your spaceship needs either a standard teleporter or a dungeon teleporter but you never have to use it. Your ship must fit withing the game height (256) so if you build it tall enough when it reaches the destination it may be low enough to use Grapling Slime for access ground and ship.

* Thrusters need to be powered with energy. You must have rocket fuel tanks anywhere on your ship, no connection needed.

* To reach Menelaus you need any type of board computer. An advanced board computer is required to reach Tyros*.*

* An FTL-drive is created from of 2x2x3 structures of 12 FTL-blocks on top of each other. Use the Scrench to complete the assembly. It is required to reach to *Tyros* and possibly other destinations.

* You must have a generator, any will do. I often use infusion generators as my main power, with the roof made out of solar panels, and 1 or 2 ion collectors in case I run out of crystals.

Not a requirement, but I highly recommend bringing battery boxes full or mostly full of the largest battery you can. Once I went to Menelaus with only a generator, but no fuel. I used battery boxes with large batteries for power. Would not recommend, but I was saving resour

ces by not getting more powerful generators.

Note: If your computer is weak, flying your spaceship could result in a game crash.

## Building

Before you start building:

* Plan your ship. Will it be a shuttle or a battleship? Freight carrier or miner? Plan your ship first.
* Gather resources appropriate to your design. For shuttles  I'd craft 1-2 stacks of metal blocks, and half a stack of bulletproof glass.
* Craft the requirements above.
* Prepare a shipyard. It doesn't have to be fancy, just a flat open area.

Building:

* Build the core room first. Then add on other rooms and sections from that according to your design.
* I recommend the generator/ storage room second. I then put in all the required blocks and add thrusters last.
* If you're building a Tyros worthy ship, I'd put in FTL drive first.
* If you're modifying an existing ship to fit an FTL drive, then remove all non-frame blocksSmall Menelaus shipMenelaus Shuttle interior. The Ion Collectors connect to battery boxes in the floorTyros Worthy ShipInside Tyros Ship -frontTyros Ship Inside rear

1. ↑ (all I've ever built, in my modpack its a rush to get off earth, so it take a long time and a lot of resources to build a larger ship)
2. ↑ Sealed computer room, a teleporter and a generator, thrusters, and fuel tanks.
3. ↑ The board computer room
4. ↑ As in remove the required blocks.

### Reaching another planet:

another thing that is necessary for space travel is a telescope this will give your coordinate to place in the computer, you will only be able to get Melanus coords on Earth and Tyros coords on melanus, to use the telescope you need to look into the sky and right- click with your mouse, this will replace the telescope with the coordinates, you will need a maximum of two, one for each planet (taking note of the specifics above for each.

After the coordinates are placed in the board computer and all requirements are acknowledged you will recieve a mesage in the chat upon opening the board computer again telling you "the ship is ready for launch!"
