Parts

Parts are essential for building ships. They're divided into 3 groups.

Basic:
These parts are the most common, they don't have any special features other than armor, they include:


 * The block: The most common part of a ship, useful for almost anything.
 * The wedge: Not as much health as a block but still a good block for edges.
 * The cylinder: A round shape perfect for pipes or antennas.
 * The sphere: Just a ball, nothing interesting.
 * The truss, The truss bridge style, The truss supports style: Useful for creating ladders. There are 3 styles.
 * The corner wedge: A corner for wedges.
 * The seat: Just a seat.
 * The vehicle seat: A seat for cars.

Modules:
These parts are the most important things in a ship, they need to be connected/linked to the control seat, they include:


 * The control seat: The captain seat of the ship.
 * The reactor(y): The power house and main core of the entire ship!
 * The gyro scope(y): The steering system for the ship.
 * The artificial mass block: A block that can react to gravity.
 * The gravity generator(u): Used to create gravity fields.
 * The landing gear(g): Used to stick to surfaces.
 * The laser(left click): An efficient weapon, no travel time.
 * The LED(N/A): Useful for making blinking lights.
 * The auto cannon(Left Click): A powerful heavy repeating weapon, medium travel time.
 * The engine: The essential for ship movement.

Meshes:
These parts are harder to use but offer more complex shapes without too many parts, they include:


 * The Trapezoid: Same as two wedges and an elongated block. The community is split between its worth.
 * The Hemisphere: Its half a sphere, what do you expect?
 * The spike: Useful for.. well... spikes, spiky. There is, however, no ramming damage in Astrocraft.
 * The quarter sphere: It's just a quarter of a sphere.
 * The half quarter sphere: quite literally an eighth of a sphere

Armor:
Each part has a health pool, big parts have big health pools, but limited decor, small parts on the other hand have small health pools but are useful for decor.

The block is the most suited part for armor including the trapezoid cause their shape can absorb more damage against weapons(also note that damages is passed through multiple parts, for example, if a part is on top of another, a weapon will damage each one no matter which block takes the hit).
