Beams

Summary

Beams are used to form the main structure of a spaceship.

Basic information

The different sizes and shapes of the beams available can be seen below.
All beams have a cross section of 24x24cm.

Straight beams

Straight beams come in lengths of 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 192 and 384cm.

Corner and Intersection beams

Corner beams come in three main sizes; 24, 36 and 48cm, shown in the bottom row of the image below.
Intersection beams have sizes corresponding to the 36 and 48cm corner beams.
Intersection beams are available with any number of connections (2-6), in any required direction.

Angled beams

Angled beams have a section of the beam sloped at 45°.
Angled beams come in sizes of 72, 84, 96 and 108cm.
Similar angled plating is available.

Welding

Beams should be welded together to form a ship's frame.
A beam forms a valid frame if it is welded to two other beams and has a thruster correctly attached.
