factory help: Starship Building

Ship building on Cosmic Rage is a little bit more complicated than just buying a starship and putting in some modules. Here, you actually have to build the starship from a blueprint, then build each individual module or drive and install it.
The first step is to construct a ship frame and an airlock in your building lab. What frame you need depends on how large you expect the ship to be. See below for details on the frame sizes.
Once these two things are built, move to your ship docks and type move to move the frame from the lab. Next, type airlock to move your constructed airlock into the ship. Once this is done, you can enter the ship and begin to build additional rooms.
There is one command and one command only for building in starships and it is build.
From the build command you can:
Build new rooms.
Rename rooms.
Redescribe rooms.
Remove rooms.
Each room needs a certain amount of resources as shown below:
Room name, wood, plastic, barrels of liquid, metal pannels
average starship room, 2, 5, 5, 5
airlock, 0, 5, 0, 10
weapon room, 3, 20, 5, 20
Control room, 5, 30, 20, 30
cargo hold, 40, 50, 30, 60
docking bay, 0, 80, 10, 80
vehicle bay, 5, 40, 10, 40
medical center, 15, 15, 15, 15
Lounge, 15, 15, 15, 15
Engineering Room, 5, 20, 20, 20
pool, 10, 50, 80, 40
Combat Drone Bay, 5, 100, 100, 150

There are several different frames you can get with blueprints which are listed below:
Name, maximum rooms size:
tiny frame, 10
small frame, 25
medium frame, 50
large frame, 75
huge frame, 100

Once you've finished your ship's design, you can type complete from outside it to move it to an access tube. However, a few other modules will be needed to make the ship useable. You will need to create and install a jump drive if you plan to take the ship to other sectors. You will also need a starship engine in order to use the speed command, and a warp drive if you plan to use warp. While other essential systems are included with the frame, things such as weapons, a subatomic drive, defenses and a recharging scooper need to be added if you want them.

From your ship building docks you are also able to type the following:
startover : Restart your project.
redescribe : Redescribe a starship frame.
type : Change the type of the frame
upgrade to : change one frame into another, this is useful if you want a bigger frame.
