Respawn Ship (Rescue Ship)

The Respawn Ship (Rescue Ship) used to be a type of Pre-Built Ship that the player spawned in when creating a new world using the old Asteroids map (scenario). Additionally, players who die without a linked and powered Medical Room used to respawn in a Rescue Ship at a distant location in the system. It used to be known as Respawn Ship 1 in game. It was replaced by the Drop Pod.

When it spawns, the ship will have some damaged and deformed blocks making up its hull. The ship was a good starting point for new players as it contains all of the vital components for travel, refining, assembling and storage. It doesn't have much fuel, so the player will have to secure a supply of uranium quickly to survive.

It used to be possible to farm this ship for all the materials needed in Survival mode simply by powering down any Medical Rooms linked to the player, then committing suicide. Using this method, the player will have to do very little or no mining to progress in the game. However, this trick only works if the "Delete respawn ship" setting is disabled.

This ship has not changed all that much during Early Alpha. Beta has given it twelve small Ion Thrusters (originally it had less), one File:Icon Item Oxygen Generator.png Oxygen Generator, and replaced its File:Icon Item Door.png Door with a Sliding Door.
