Ship-shape and Up to Specs

You do not have to be an engineer to design a spaceship, but the older GameCult copy made it very clear that it helps.

Aetheria’s ship customization pitch was about personality as much as loadout math. Components would have distinct qualities, megacorporations would maintain their own catalogs of parts, and players would be able to tune both performance and presentation. It was a buildcraft fantasy with a sense of humor rather than a dry spreadsheet alone.
