Player-specific planetary homes may also be set via the Navigation Console, then returned to from anywhere using the teleporter.Īfter repairing the ship, Fuel is required to activate the FTL jump drives in order to fly outside the local solar system. Interacting with the captain's chair will bring up the Navigation Console, which allows the player to set a ship's destination. These ships are different for each starting Race there are a total of seven ships, one for each race. Or even just the number of crew able to serve on the bridge at one time.In Starbound, traveling from planet to planet is done via interstellar ships. At times, these can be only slightly larger than some small craft.Īrguably, since the Maquis’ raiders were comparable in size to the Jem’Hadar attack ship, the difference between a scale 2 small craft and a scale 3 starship is less a factor of size and more the ship’s capabilities and versatility. Scale 3 ships range from the tiny 68-meter Jem’Hadar strike ship to the 170-meter Defiant-class starship. To avoid scaling or perspective issues, I restricted myself to ships that can also be found in Star Trek Online and further limited myself to ships where I could find semi-official sizes for on Memory Beta. This article compares the sizes of most of the official spaceframes and ships released by Modiphius.

Especially as, in a few cases, scale is often rounded up to denote the increased potency of a ship. Because there’s so much variability between ships of the same scale, let alone between scales, it’s sometimes hard to picture how ships compare. There’s a range of lengths and widths between starships of the same size. The Star Trek Adventures game system uses a simplified system for representing the size of starships, with each spaceframe being assigned a scale.
