And why do ships randomly start drifting in space

When a ship is adrift, it means they have run out of fuel. Right now the AI ships are kind of stupid and do not manage their fuel the best. At some point they will be turning on a distress call which will make the fuel tanker ships move towards their position.

Here are the current factories in the game and what their stats are. This is in raw game data format, but you should be able to tell what is what.

Thanks that helps when you’re trying to build planets up

I've just updated My Starship to v0.8.0, the full changelog of which you can see in the original post for this thread.

This update starts adding Star Docks to planets, and there are currently three upgrades available for purchase.

Also, AI ships will now conduct full trade between planets, buying and selling goods at each stop they make, if the prices are in their favor.

In the next update, I want to implement the Distress Call feature, where adrift ships will send out a distress call, that nearby fuel tankers pick up on and respond to, refueling all of the poor adrift ships that are out there.

How dose the saving work when i click the load game buton it says no savesave found

Minetrain2002 said:How dose the saving work when i click the load game buton it says no savesave found

It doesn't do anything special. I think maybe there is no auto-save, you have to select "back to title" to make it save and close

I can,tell save or load maps I have updated to build
V0.8.0 buthe still can't get it to work i am playing the android version
My device is a Samsung Galaxy s7
Runing android version 6.0.1

Will it be avaiable online in HTML?

Is there something special that has to be done to do more then 1 upgrade to my ship? I ran 1 and got the hyperdrive but now it says i can't make anymore upgrades.

Well the bigger ships will allow for more upgrades, once I create the bigger ships.
