Quick answer
Answer
ASOP terminals are the ship kiosks where you retrieve and claim ships at spaceports.
- ASOP terminals are the ship kiosks where you retrieve and claim ships at spaceports.
- If your ship is destroyed or missing, Claim is usually the correct action for beginners.
- This is a core beginner bottleneck — once you can do this fast, everything else gets easier.
Do this now
- Go to the spaceport area and find an ASOP terminal (ship retrieval kiosk).
- Retrieve your ship to assign it to a hangar/pad.
- Follow the hangar/pad number and board your ship.
- If your ship is not available, select it and press Claim (then wait for it to be ready).
- If you still can’t get it, try a different terminal or relog (beginner-safe reset).
Common mistakes (and exact fixes)
| Mistake | What happens | Fix (exact) |
|---|---|---|
| Running around looking for your ship | You waste time and think you’re stuck. | Use ASOP: retrieve → go to assigned hangar/pad. |
| Not using Claim when needed | You wait forever for a ship that won’t spawn. | Use Claim when the ship is destroyed/missing. |
| Changing many things at once | You can’t diagnose the issue. | Try another terminal, then relog — simple resets first. |
FAQ
What does ‘Claim’ do?
It requests a replacement when your ship is destroyed/missing.
Do I lose my ship if I claim it?
No — you’re not deleting ownership; you’re requesting a replacement.
Where do I find the hangar number?
The terminal shows it after you retrieve the ship.
Why can’t I retrieve a ship?
It may already be spawned, or the session is unstable. Try another terminal or relog.
