9.5.6 Refitting

As you pilot your ship through the Sector, you may be thinking... this space is just a little too cramped. I need room to breathe! Well, captain, you are in luck. Welcome to refitting, where your remodeling dreams can come true!

Refitting is the process of adding rooms to your ship. Each superstructure model has a set number of rooms that can be built within the hull. To view a ship's current setup and see what is possible:

   SHIP REFIT STATUS                   Show status of the ship's refit.
   SHIP REFIT ROOMS                    List all rooms in the refit.
   SHIP REFIT OPTIONS <ROOM|DOOR>      List options for doors and room types.

Building a new room costs 25,000 Marks. Once you have decided what type of room you would like to build, and in which direction, you may:

   SHIP REFIT BUILD <roomtype> <dir>

This will create the new room with a default description. That description can be changed once for free and then, any subsequent changes will cost 10,000 Marks. You can also add a door to the room (10,000 Marks), add additional exits between rooms (2,500 Marks), or can control whether props generate in the room (no cost).

   SHIP REFIT REDESCRIBE ROOM
   SHIP REFIT BUILD DOOR <dir> [type]
   SHIP REFIT BUILD EXIT <dir> <room#>
   SHIP REFIT PROPS <ON|OFF>

You can arrange your rooms in any configuration you like. At this time, there is no functional difference between rooms, save that you must be in the bridge (the starting room) in order to use most ship piloting commands.

Last, if you find yourself needing to remove rooms, doors, etc. you may:

   SHIP REFIT DESTROY ROOM <dir>
   SHIP REFIT DESTROY DOOR <dir>
   SHIP REFIT DESTROY EXIT <dir>
