To all SSC Station occupants
Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.
Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

So I am looking for ideas on different parts you would used to put together spaceships in a spaceship crafting style game. What are the essential, not so essential and classical stuff you like to see in and outside of your ship (Given this is a sci-fi lite/space opera in the vain of Star Wars/Star Trek, so super realism isn't a requirement).
Generally I have my parts divided up into the following categories.
Structure: For creating the hull, internal rooms.
Systems: Reactors, Shields, Weapons, Sensors, etc. Complex bits of machinery that have some function.
Interfaces: Which I imagine to be things such as flight controls, engineering stations, etc ... basically parts that let you interact and control the above Systems.
Furnishings: Miscellaneous items of various function and decoration, generally they have no ship-based function but are more aesthetic and crew functional.
Infrastructure/Connectors?: And one I'm still debating to include and not sure what to include, stuff like power conduits, fuel lines, air vents? The alternative being this stuff is just intrinsic to the structure/systems and you don't have to worry about it.
Whats the stuff you generally have on the ship? At least System-wise is what I'm mainly trying to have covered, suggestions on the others is welcome too.
(Sorry if this is in the wrong forum and thanks in advance if you shift it to the right one)
You seem to have all the basic covered, Life support would be one to add in systems along with an interface for air,water and waste. (been reading the Martian)
Communications, drone control and drone storage, troops compartments, officers room, mining related things, missile, rockets, torpedoes tubes, factories (for manufaturing of ammunitions, rockets and missiles), if it's a big mothership, then factories for ship parts or ships themselves, science rooms, waste disposal, funeral rooms (troops tend to die after battles), maintenance (garbage cleaners, sewage), canteen, bar, entertainments like holo-cinemas etc, smoking area, water cleaning facilities. Basicaly there's a lot you can add 🙂
