Starship Configuration

Starships are built to a configuration which is a combination of type and installed sections, e.g. Courier is a Far Trader ship type fitted with cargo bays.

Generic Configurations
A number of configurations are available to all noble houses thanks to the Church. These are common payloads of common ship types. Any house may use these configurations to build their own ships but may not change them.

House Configurations
Each noble house may also design their own configurations based on any of the possible ship types. These are private and not shared with other houses.

Houses may use the Starship Configuration section of the site to design new configurations, copy existing ones and make modifications to these configurations.

Each new house received one ship of each of the following generic configurations when they sign up:
