| - | **Equipment Max Size** unused | + | You will also have to specify the **Ware used to build it**. All standard races use "ShipPart" to build ships apart from the Core who has its own custom ship part ("CoreShipPart"). Basically, the ShipPart is a ware produced by a factory that and is used to limit a faction's military production. If you are making a custom faction with it's own custom factories and production logic, this is something you may want to change. |

If set to "none", any faction that can use third-party ships (pirates, humans, ISA, player) will be allowed to buy / build this kind of ship. If you set it to a particular faction, only the faction specified will be allowed to build it. |
