===============================================================================
Startup equipment
-----------------
1) Default ship (Runabout, Engine1, Generator1, Gravbeam1, Rocket, Blaster1)
2) Prowler hull, Engine1, Generator1, Gravbeam1, two Rocket, two Blaster1
3) Resources (green/yellow/purple): 06/12/25
Every ship needs a Hull, Generator, and Engine. The Energy Rating of the
Generator must be greater than the Energy used by the Engine. The Engine
is always placed in the center pods in the very back of the Hull.
Blasters, Missiles, Ion Cannons, and Beam Lasers must be placed in a Weapon
Pod. The Weapon Pods are the pods in the very front of the Hull.
Drones and Nova Bombs can be placed in any available pod.
A Gravbeam, Batteries, Missile Bays, Cargo Bays, Bomb Bays, and a Shield can
be placed in any available pod.
Ship Component Key
------------------
Size = number and arrangement of pods
Mass = weight of a ship component
Mass Rating = weight that can be moved by an Engine
Energy = energy used by component
Rate = energy used by Shields
Energy Rating = energy supplied by a Generator
Capacity = energy supplied by a Battery
Research = resources needed to gain access to component (green/yellow/purple)
Build = resources needed for construction (green/yellow/purple)
Recycling = resources gained after recycling a component (green/yellow/purple)
Recycling recovers one-half the build resources used
example: 30/60/120 = 30 green/60 yellow/120 purple
