Adventure Mode Questions

I can answer a few questions, but I have to take off for a bit:

  1. I've never run into any infinite resource zones. They're usually limited to ~1000 resources. But they spawn without limit (like enemies & gates)
  2. You get 10%, maybe 5% of an enemy ship's worth as "salvage." I don't believe you have to kill them yourself (but other enemies might be able to pick up the salvage accidentally). It's been a while since I've seen a multi-faction brawl, so I'm not so sure myself anymore.
  3. Not sure if there are any switches for the weather in adventure mode.
  4. Starter crafts? I've heard stories of people surviving with ships (and just a single surface ship, even, just constantly building it up). I've survived the first few jumps with just a simple boat as well.
  5. Look at the resource zone's regen rate. It's generally 1 resource gatherer for each point of regen. I believe the first zone is 5 per sec.

and the last question, specifically: Yes, you can retrofit the starter craft to an existing blueprint. The only danger is that it may lose its heart stone. There's ways around this, like using prefabs, but I like the simple solution: build a simple raft you can hang out on while the main ship is refitted. It would need material storage and tentacles too, of course...
