Posture controls

The posture controls

Posture controls determine how a ship will operate and maneuver and which sensor and defensive systems are enabled.

Display	Full name	Settings
THRTL	Throttle Control	1/3: Ship will move at 1/3 of max speed. 2/3: Ship will move at 2/3 of max speed. FULL: Ship will move at max speed. FLANK: Ship will move above max speed. Causes damage to engines. FQ: Ship will be limited to CRAB speed allowing spacecraft to take off and land.
MNVR	Maneuvering Posture	DIRECT: Ship will move in a straight line. EVADE: Ship will make random course changes to attempt to avoid incoming fire.
FORM	Formation Positioning	REL: Ships will have the same orientation of the guide ship. The guide will wait for other ships to catch up. TRU: Each ship will keep its own orientation. The guide will wait for other ships to catch up. LOOSE: The guide will not wait for other ships to catch up.
BSHRT	Battle-Short	OFF: Specialized equipment will shut down after 90 seconds of use. ON: Specialized equipment will periodically receive damage after 90 seconds of use.
RADAR	Radar Emissions Control	ON: Ship sensors are active. OFF: Ship sensors are inactive. -25% signature.
COMM	Communications Emissions Control	XMIT: Ship comms are active. RECV: Ship sensors are inactive. -10% signature.
ESUPT	Electronic Support Modules	ON: Electronic support will display. OFF: Electronic support will not display.
WCON	Weapons Control	FREE: Ship will automatically return fire with non-missile weapons on targets that are firing at them. TIGHT: Ship will not attack except when given a target. HOLD: Ship will not attack. Turrets will still bear on any current target.
PDTRT	Point Defenses - Turrets	AUTO: Dedicated point defense turrets and dual-purpose weapons will target the closest missiles. DEDI: Dedicated point defense turrets will target the closest missiles. MAN: Point defense turrets will only shoot at designated missiles.
PDSML	Point Defenses - Missiles	Controls the firing of interceptor missiles. Click to open policy settings.
DECOY	Point Defenses - Decoys	LEAST: Only the lowest-capability decoy necessary to defeat a given threat will be deployed. If the missile type is unknown all decoys will be fired. BEST: Only the highest-capability decoy necessary to defeat a given threat will be deployed. If the missile type is unknown all decoys will be fired. AUTO: All decoys compatible with the threat will be deployed. If the missile type is unknown all decoys will be fired. MAN: Decoys can only be deployed manually via the Action Menu.
PDZNE	Point Defense Zone	AREA: Point defenses will target all missiles, prioritizing the ones threatening the ship. POINT: Point defenses will target only missiles threatening the ship.

Integrity rating

A ship's integrity directly affects how resistant its components are to damage. Lots of empty space means less structural members to absorb damage and protect components. A ship with the majority of its component slots filled will have full protection of the hull's Damage Reduction value, while a mostly empty hull will not.

Ship hulls

Ship hulls determine a ship's base stats as well as how many components it can have.

Shelter Alliance hulls

Shelter Alliance ships scale linearly. Larger ships are more resilient and carry more components but are slower and more expensive.

Outlying Systems Protectorate hulls

Outlying Systems Protectorate are more specialized, with each ship hull being made for different roles.
