# Getting Started with The Celestial Expanse's Movecraft

--------------------------------------------------------------

> You may want to construct a basic StarFighter so you can Colonize a potentially more suitable Planet.
>
> Alternatively, you may reuse the Escape Pod as a StarFighter to lift off again, although you will need more fuel.

--------------------------------------------------------------

### **[Movecraft Vehicle Componets]**

> All Ships require a few blocks to operate, these primarily include:
>
> ***Lift Blocks, Engine Blocks & Fuel Storage / Input***

> * *Lift Blocks* : Determine if the Vehicle can Pilot, and serves as the Crafts overall Hit Points.
> * *Engine Blocks* : Determine if the Vehicle can Move.
> * *Fuel Storage / Input* : May either be a Resonant Capacitor or a Normal Furnace.

> *Basic Fuel Types* : Coal, Coal Blocks, Charocal, Dried Kelp Blocks.
>
> `All types of Fuel may also be used in Furnaces`

> *StarFighters* Use `Wool Blocks` *or* `Wool Carpets` as *Lift Blocks*.
> 
> *StarShips* And Larger use `Beacons` *or* the custom `Reactor Blocks` for *Lift Blocks*.
> 
> All Craft Types May use `Redstone Blocks`, `Sea Lanterns` and/or `Any Froglights` as *Engine Blocks*.
> 
> All Engine Blocks are Interchangable, this means you can use `Sea Lanterns` instead of `Redstone Blocks`, or a mixture.

--------------------------------------------------------------

### **[Constructing your first StarFighter]**

> Setting a Vehicles Class is as simple as placing a sign and putting the desired type on the first line of a sign.
>
> To Build a simple StarFighter, these listed Materials are the bare minimum requirements for your first craft:

> * *6 Wool Blocks*
> * *1 Redstone Block*
> * *1 Furnace*
> * *1 Sign*
> * *16 Filler-Blocks* (Planks or Slabs will probably do best, for now)
> * *8+ Coal/Charocal* (Basic Fuel for Movement In-Atmosphere)
> * (OPTIONAL) `Crystallized Radon`, a byproduct useful for Warping. Primarily obtained from Redstone Ore.

> There is no limitation to the shape of the hull, so long as the block count is within the class size. use `/craftwiki` for more info.
>
> Once the StarFighter has been constructed:
> 
> Put some Coal (Or Charcoal) into the Furnace, right click the Sign after putting in StarFighter on the first line, and you now have a craft.
> 
> Note: Avoid trying to Pilot near blocks that may connect to the StarFighter. See `/craftwiki` for the allowed block-list.

--------------------------------------------------------------

### **[Ship HP & Stats]**

> If your Ship loses too many Lift Blocks, it will sink or explode, and be rendered inoperable.
> 
> On the contrary, if the Ship loses too many Engine Blocks it cannot Move, but may still use its Weapons & Other Components.

--------------------------------------------------------------

### **[Misc Tips & Tricks]**

> StarFighters must be composed of `~22.5%` *Lift Blocks* to Function.
>
> StarFighters also require being made of `~2.05%` *Engine Blocks* in order to Move.
>
> You can make Wool with (4) String, and may be obtained from Grass Blocks, Short/Tall Grass, Ferns and Vines.
>
> The Stone Variants (Andesite, Diorite, Tuff, Calcite...) may also drop additional Raw Materials, depending on the Planet.

--------------------------------------------------------------

### **[Useful Utilities]**

> Using the `/radar` Command, Your Vessel will list off any other crafts within your own's effective Contact Range.
>
> There are also Sounds ('Pings') to notify you if there is another Ship in your vicinity.
> 
> The Overall Radar Detection is broken up into two factors, 
> 
> 
>
> A Ships HUD is a useful tool for guaging the current Health of your Ships' Systems, along with other Stats or nearby objects.
>
> You can toggle/refresh the various HUDs through the `/hud` base-command.
>
> `/hud ship` is used in toggling or refreshing your piloted craft's status HUD.
>
> `/hud nav` is a useful tool for a visual cardinal directions while flying, as well as planet locations and contacts on your radar.
>
> `/hud tps` is a utility for viewing the Server's **TPS** (*How many Game-Ticks have ran in one second*), **MSPT** (*How many Real-Life Milliseconds it takes for a Game-Tick to pass*), and your personal **PING** (*How many Milliseconds it takes for a message to travel between the Server and your Game/Client, and back*).
