I'm quite out of the loop and don't remember much of the game but I'll be keeping an eye on this for after I move and get my computer set up again.

Posting Rules
To allow the community to function as a searchable index of discoveries, please adhere to these posting requirements:
- One item per post
- Glyphs must be provided
- No automated (bot) finds
- Be polite and respectful.
- As Lemmy currently lacks "flair", the post title for discoveries must be prefixed with discovery/galaxy:, where discovery is one of: starship, fabricated starship, multitool, freighter, derelict freighter, fauna, flora, planet, base, farm (e.g. starship/Euclid: or multitool/Eissentam:)
- Guide and resource posts should be prefixed with Guide/discovery: or Resource/discovery:
- Ship requirements: Galaxy, glyphs or galactic coordinates, and picture of the ship.
- Fabricated Ship requirements: Galaxy, glyphs or galactic coordinates, image with supercharged slot arrangement.
- Crashed, Sunken Ship, and Living Ship requirements: Include planetary coordinates and the planet's name.
- Multi-tool requirements: Galaxy, glyphs or planetary coordinates, a picture of the MT, instructions for how to obtain the multitool, and planetary coordinates for planetside cabinets. Staff finds must include the assembly location and staff head.
- Base/farm requirements: Galaxy, glyphs or galactic coordinates, picture of the base, and the base's name.
- Planet requirements: Galaxy, glyphs or planetary coordinates, a picture of the planet, and the planet's biome.
Use of "standard" part names for ships is strongly encouraged.

MODERATORS
The Orbital update has introduced the notion of starship construction. For those who haven't explored this aspect of the game yet (or are still waiting for the Xbox update), the new space stations have a construction terminal where you can build a fighter, explorer, or hauler (no solars, exotics, shuttles, or interceptors at this time).
The way it works is, each ship is constructed from base components that you obtain by salvaging a starship, and a reactor core that you purchase from the starship tech merchant at the station (the class of the reactor core determines the class of the ship).
For a hauler you need: cockpit, wings, and engine. For a fighter, it's: fuselage, thruster, and wings. For an explorer, you have hull, left wing and right wing. Note that each component can (and for wings, typically is) a set of multiple of components, which is how you get all the variations.
To obtain a component, you have to scrap a ship that has the configuration you want. The ship scapper has a new option to let you salvage one component. So if you want to make a ship, you have to scrap three ships total to get each component: cockpi+wing+engine for hauler, fuselage+wing+thruster for fighter, and left+right+hull for explorer.
Testing has shown that supercharged slot arrangement is procedural. The same components (including the reactor core, so S-class vs A-class etc. matters) at the same space station will result in the same SC slot configuration. Color is irrelevant.
So what does this mean for the Glyph Exchange?
It means we can publish glyphs to space stations that result in favorable SC slot arrangements for a given starship configuration. The question is, how best to do that?
Since the subject lines here are intended to serve as an index, I'd like to suggest using this form:
Fabricated Starship/Galaxy
Then we have to name the parts and provide a photo of the SC slot configuration that you get from that space station with that configuration.
As for part naming, though it's tempting to use the game's "language" for the parts, there are a lot of component names because they are describing combinations of parts rather than the parts themselves, and those names have a lot of potentially confusing redundancies. I think it's better for us to stick with the standard part names we always use, as people are already familiar with those and it's pretty easy to figure out which ships you need to scrap to get what you want.
