To begin customizing your ship, you should head to a central city port and speak with an NPC working as a Ship Services Tech at the Ship Services Station. When prompted, use the option that reads, “I’d like to view and modify my ships.” It’s important to know that you can also purchase new ships here and repair ships you own.

Jordan is an experienced fantasy writer who spends hours behind her laptop, and lost in the pages of a book. She strives to be a successful gaming blogger, and has no complaint about the hours of game time she used to increase her knowledge of all things “geek”. She primarily writes gaming articles and fantasy novels. Ark: Survival Evolved is a favorite, along with Diablo 3, Warframe and Minecraft lately, though you can’t forget the good old Magic the Gathering card game! Writing about games truly gives her joy as it gives her another perspective to look at games from, a reason to really look into the mechanics of the game.
