Ship Building

## Upkeep.

Upkeeps is the amount it cost to say ideal in the game. If you faction is not doing anything and you are not making money then people have to be paid, and maintenance has to be carried out. Depending on things like ships and troops upkeep can vary but it is always paid in CRP.

For independence without a faction there might be an upkeep cost in PRP if they are just sitting around not doing anything, unless they are do so at others expense.

## Ships.

 Habitation
 Core

Add 10 Structure to a maximum of double its structure. 1 CRP

Add 10 to shield to a maximum of double its shields. 1 CRP

Remove 10 Structure to a maximum of half  its structure. Make 1 CRP. (Most always cost minimum)

Remove 10 shields to a maximum of half  its shields. Make 1 CRP (Most always cost minimum)

Add one to the Speed, 2 CRP

Remove 1 from Speed, Make 2 CRP (Most always cost minimum)

If you lower the speed, remove shields or structure on a ship it must always be brought back till it minimum cost. So for example if you lowered the speed on a ship you have weaker engines that do not cost as much. That money can be spent on other aspects of the ship. Improving shields, buying weapons. Lets say you drop the speed of a corvette That cost 1 CRP to buy. It cost 1 but you have just made 2 CRP those MUST be spent it on THAT ship till its cost is back to 1, not 0 or -1.
