You will acquire a spaceship to use as a home base to launch your missions, reconstitute a clone of your character if you should get into trouble, create crystals, manufacture weapons, improve your skills as you acquire more experiences, and create new clones of the species you extract DNA from.

Weapons and Equipment Crafting Bench:

From left to right: Weapons & Equipment Crafting, Scrapper/Analyzer, Storage Locker

The mid-ship starboard side of your spaceship contains a weapons and equipment crafting workbench allowing you to make unlimited amounts of equipment and the weapons you scrap in the Analyzer.  Your Weapons Skill only partially governs your ability to create weapons using this Bench: it indicates the highest DPS weapon rating you can create using your Bench; but, in order to create a weapon, you will need to have Analyzed an existing one.

If you have additional Composite Metals -acquired from scanning mineral deposits and scrapping weapons- you may add them to the weapons you make which will increase its DPS by increasing your reload speed.

Scrapper & Analyzer:

When you deposit a weapon into the Analyzer, it reverse engineers weapons as it disintegrates them.  Scrapping a weapon provides you with its Composite Metals and its schematics.  As long as your Weapons Skill is high enough, you will be able to make unlimited amounts of the weapons you've reverse engineered by scrapping.

Crystal Crafting Bench:

From left to right: Storage Locker, Crystal Crafting, Scrapper

The mid-ship port side of your spaceship contains a crystal crafting bench.  Once you find a particular color crystal, you can always create a fragment of that type -assuming your character has enough Crystallography Skill to have knowledge of its family (Primary, Secondary, Tertiary).  Plus using the minerals you've collected with your PDA, you will be able to make stronger Effects depending on your PDA Skill level.

Fragments are the weakest form you can create, followed by a stronger purer Stone, and then a powerful pristine Crystal form.  The higher purity, the greater the cost and the greater the duration and/or intensity of the effect.

Fragment Cost: 0 Composite Metals hectograms

Stone Cost: 5 hg

Crystal Cost: 8 hg

Scrapper:

Just scraps Stones and Crystals into their mineral components allowing you to free up an inventory slot if you need to.

Cloning Tank:

From left to right: Cloning Tank, Skill Training Station

Once you collect enough DNA samples, using your PDA's scanning feature, you can clone and inhabit a body of that species.  This provides you with all of its abilities –and a very effective disguise.

Collecting more DNA can unlock more advanced clones of a particular species.

Within this lab, your skills and inventory will transfer to your new body but physical characteristics like speed, field of view, and health will vary based on the species.

Skill Training Station:

This station allows you to improve your Skills by using the Unassigned Skill Points you gain by completing a mission.  Skill Points are maintained if you switch bodies using the Cloning Tank and their effects are scaled to the new clone species you choose.
