Ship Parts

Upgrade and customize your spacecraft with various components.

Overview​

Ship Parts are the ONLY way to control and fight in Cosmic Love.

Your spacecraft is a chassis - an empty frame. Ship Parts define everything:

  • How fast you move (Engines)
  • How much damage you take (Hulls)
  • How well you maneuver (Wings)
  • What weapons you have (Weapon Parts)
  • Your energy capacity (Reactors)
  • Your special abilities (System Parts)

All ship parts are Mintable Items (MIs) - any rarity tier can be minted on-chain via Item Retrieval Coupons.

Starting Point: Basic Chassis​

All Pilots and TPCs receive a basic spacecraft chassis:

  • Empty equipment slots
  • No inherent capabilities
  • Requires parts to function
  • Free for all players

You must equip Ship Parts to have any meaningful performance. Better parts = better spacecraft.
