The rest of the universe is very dangerous. Use that to your advantage.I Made Myself a Ship is a game about systems and components, using them to add and upgrade the capabilities of your ship to destroy more enemies in your quest to decimate everything and collect it for yourself.
Destroy enemy ships to collect systems and components, then place systems on your ship to add effects. Add homing to your shots to make sure they hit, fire volleys of shots to take down larger opponents, add explosions to wipe out multiple ships at once, reinforce your hull to fly straight through enemies, shield yourself to survive, and so much more.
Attach components to your systems to increase their effects. Scaling up systems makes them stronger, as long as you can make room for them. Every system can be scaled up, leaving you with a hard choice: to use a large variety of systems, or just a few very powerful ones. Or something in between?
