Building

INTRO GOES HERE

When you self-destruct via the Remove Building interface element, the contents of the building will likewise be lost.
However, if you were to blow up someone else's building, the contents of the building will be deployed to a container.
In either case, the building itself will leave no debris.

Buildings will trade more goods than they have free space, but they will store all produce. (Produce ignores free space limits.) Do not be surprised to find some buildings with -734 space available.

Consumption and production for all buildings listed are the base levels. For quick reference, use Buildings Reference Table.

Special Buildings

Special buildings can not be built by players. They are by and large found throughout the universe and have a wide range of functions.

Jump Gate

gate_x256.png

Jump Gates are the connection points between various sectors. Gates pictured like the one above have a single possible destination.

gate1_x256.png

Gates pictured like the one above have a multiple possible destinations. By clicking on the gate, or it's name in the object list, you can view the destinations and jump to a destination of your choosing.

gate_c_x256.png

Some gates have no destinations and are inactive. These gates may still be a destination for a different gate however.

gate2_x256.png

Gates pictured like the one above are special. They may have passage restrictions or a time-lock which otherwise makes them different from other gates.

The base AP Cost to jump though a gate is 500 AP. This cost is lowered by 1 AP for each 0.5 Agility score you earn until you reach the minimum jump AP cost of 50 AP.

Do not shoot or attempt to shoot gates, do not loiter within 5 AUs of closest edge of the Gate, do not collect $200, do not pass GO.

Faction Administration Building (FAB)

faction_administration_building_x256.png
Unique building.

Oracle

the_oracle_x256.png
And there shall be a man named Billy and he'll sell you double glazing. And you will acquire much merriness, for no longer will your humble abode vent energy. - The great prophecy of inaccuracy
In a sentence, the Oracle is a special, stationary building that allows players to trade in 1000 influence for information on how they rank in the universe on a particular skill or stat (e.g. Tactics, Engineering, APs used, etc) - the skill in question changes every day. It is cloaked in the same way that player cloaking works - it can only be seen once you're on top of it... Quite how it does this has been a subject for debate for many decades. Pilots who know its location have distractedly mentioned large orange footwear and a hooded figure wearing a sombrero before hurriedly changing the subject (usually to their favourite soup... We're not sure why this is). It would be a kind, loving gesture to let you know where such a pleasant, mysterious building lies - a building which conjures thoughts of croutons floating in flavoured water... But we're not going to. It's much more exciting to find it yourself. :D


The oracle is located at Aldebaran [-10,1]. It is cloaked.

Author's Hideout

authors_hideout_x256.png
Found only on the fabled 'map editting universe,' the author's hideout acts as a gate to sectors uncharted as of yet... We consulted the Porkian scriptures for the only written account of what is seen as one passes through the fire:
"Thou shalt find no tongue where thou tongue should layeth. Instead, a fish - layeth ugishly like a mollusc on one plate. Then thou shalt spy yonder a sign. The sign will be known thus: There shall be a Lord of stature. He shalt tryeth to sell thou cleaning products. "BANG. BANG." He shalt say. Thou wilt know him by his name; for be he shalt:
BARRY SCOTT.
Beneath one peach-blue hue, thou shalt seek vengeance lushly on the Bohemian sun-rise of the half-dead-lizard. For it shan't relent. Ever. Until tea-time. Then it shalt.*"

Default Prices

Upon building creation, the following default values will be filled in under "Set Pricing" in your building.

Heavy Ore 1,410 1,650
Precious Ore 1,140 1,400

Building Messages

A good building message can increase the immersion element of Fleet. It can also provide traders with useful information about your prices and upkeep needs.

Possible Elements

These are the most commonly used BBcode tags to bring a little personality to building messages. There are others, but these will get any message off to a good start.

Tag
Sample Usage
Result
[b][/b] Make me [b]bold[/b] Make me bold.
[i][/i] [i]Italicize[/i] me. Italicize me.
[u][/u] I'm [u]underlined.[/u] I'm underlined.
[color=xxxx][/color]

Standard colors like "green" or "red" or "yellow" or "blue" work best.
Keep in mind that pilots use different backgrounds so be careful to test your colors.

[color=green]I'm a pretty color.[/color] I'm a pretty color.
[size=xx][/size]

Sizes between 10 and 14 will probably work best.

I'm [size=14]Big.[/size] I'm [size=4]Small.[/size] I'm Big
I'm small.

You'll want to use relative links for maximum portability
