Custom shuttles are a way to build functioning shuttles that can maneuver around the station and other z-levels. While normal space ruin shuttles are free, custom shuttles require fuel and a lot of time to get working properly, so be ready for a huge commitment if you want to fly around on your own private shuttle.
How custom shuttles function
Custom shuttles require a lot more maintenance than other shuttles, such as the Whiteship ruin however, they don't require you to get lucky and hope that it spawns.
Shuttle Machinery
Flight Console
The flight console is the main controller of the shuttle, this machine has a few different functions.
Calculate Stats The 'calculate stats' button calculates the stats of the shuttle allowing you to see how it will perform. Subspace Velocity The subspace velocity of a shuttle is a measure of the engine power relative to the size of the shuttle. If this value is lower than 1, the shuttle will not operate and at higher values will knock or even throw the people inside around. The advantage, however, of making this higher is that you will reach your destination faster.

Additional Infomation
- Just like standard pilotable shuttles, if war is declared on gamemodes such as Nuclear Emergency or Clock Cult, the shuttle docker will not function, although the shuttle will still be pilotable to pre-defined docks (The auxiliary dock).
