Alpha Ships adds 64 new modular spaceship parts that you can add to your spaceships to customize them in thousands of combinations. These spaceship pieces can be scavanged from random space combat encounters or acquired at a hefty price from the new Ship Parts Trader orbital merchant.

The mod includes parts in 6 different "styles": captured asteroid, pirate, traders, imperial escort, bioship and mechanoid.








You'll also find new buildings that you can uninstall and carry to your ship, such as super efficient vanometric heat sinks in mechanoid ships.

There should be none. Keep an eye open for any bugs that might pop up, and report them to me in the mod's comments! Ideally provide an error log, since it is almost impossible to debug things otherwise.

Mod should be compatible with everything. It obviously needs Save Our Ship 2 to work. It DOESN'T NEED Alpha Animals, though some will appear in space encounters if you have both mods active.

Q&A:

Q: Can I mix and match ship parts to create a monstrosity?
A: Yes! You can use any ship parts you acquire (by conquest or trading) in your own spaceship. There is no limit to the number of them you use, and there is no limit to using pieces of different categories.

Q: Will these provide defense?
A: Not much, these pieces are almost 100% aesthetics.

Q: Savegame compatible?
A: Yes

Q: Is this CE compatible?
A: I have no idea
