The Chassis of your ship holds all the components together. It has a maximum mass, maximum hitpoints, both experimentable, plus fixed roll/pitch/yaw/acceleration/deceleration characteristics. Some ships are available in different styles, and all non-Imperial craft can be painted and textured using kits. When your shields and armour have been breached, your chassis and components will take damage simultaneously. Once your chassis gets to 0 your ship will explode. Experimentation: Mass. MA, OQ, ST, UT. Hitpoints: HR, OQ, ST, UT
