SHIP SHOP SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

Players are able to submit an application for their own ship shop in Starbase Alpha. There are two types of ship shops, a small and a large one. For both of these there are five different themes from which the players can choose the visual style for the shop. The shop name will be displayed on a sign in all shops. Player or a company has to have at least half of the required ships approved when applying for their own ship shop. Ship Shop submissions are done via the in-game Feedback Tool (F1), under the Ship Shop Submission tab.


SHIP SHOP REQUIREMENTS

All ships that are to be added into a shop need to be submitted via the Ship Submission form (F1) and need to be approved beforehand. You can message a community manager if you are unsure about the status of your ship submissions!

SMALL SPACESHIP SHOPS:
  • Room for 5 small and 5 medium spaceships. Bigger ships require a large shop.
  • Any player or company with at least 5 small / medium approved ships can apply for a small shop.
  • Each company can only have one small spaceship shop.
    • If you plan to produce a large amount of spaceships, or are interested in creating big ships, please request a large shop instead!
    • If you have a large shop and want to apply for a small shop afterwards, we can't promise that said request can be granted

LARGE SPACESHIP SHOPS:
  • Room for the following ship sizes:
    • 10 small
    • 7 medium
    • 3 large
    • 2 x-large (Currently one x-large area can be reserved for 2 large ships)
  • Any company that has 10 or more approved ships that match with the size chart, will get their own ship shop.
  • Once the acquired shop has been completely filled, another large shop can be requested.

Here are the ship dimensions:
  • Small = 10x7x7
  • Medium = 25x15x20
  • Large = 35x35x50 (unavailable in small ship shops)

SUBMISSION PROCESS

In the shop submission form, you'll need to input the following information:
  • Submission type (new shop or an update to existing one)
  • Company/shop name
  • Shop size (small/large)
  • Shop theme
  • List of ships
  • Optional additional information, e.g. particular ship placements
  • Contact person's Discord tag
For the ship placement layout you can refer to this map by Okim:

You can refer to a specific spot by their number and mention what ship you'd want placed there. If you don't have any preference, we will choose the placement ourselves. Note that we reserve all rights to change the placements, in case the ships aren't the correct size to put where requested.


SHOP THEMES

We have five different themes for the visual style of the shops. These are for both the small and the large ship shop. The pictures below show the themes on a large ship shop.

Please note that the submitted material for ship shops might not be implemented into the game as provided. We reserve the right to change applications to better fit the game’s regulations and theme. Use of copyrighted material in the submissions is prohibited.

Also, please note that getting the shops into the game can take a while, so please be patient!

Are there any plans to changing the ship shop submission process after the launch of EA?
What about the possibility of playermade ship shops on their personal station?

(Also how many ships would a ship shop ship if a ship shop could ship ships?)

since these look like station lots I guess we can assume that players will be able to put these on their stations, right?
