Re: what are Freespace ships made of?
Also, the hulls are digitally built by god-like entities that live in a higher plane of existence . They call this "mapping".

With the rapid increase of FS fan-made campaigns, we're giving the GTVA a harder time with more violence and genocide.

Re: what are Freespace ships made of?
The ships are equipped with engines powered by powerful boiler. The hull is made out of high quality oak wood and the interior is made of nice plastic. Their speed approaches that of light, if loaded with high quality coal it is even capable of FTL. The ships are of course equipped with modern weapons, such as fatman and little boy torpedos. The marines are equipped with state of the art AK-47 guns. The ships have no escape pods, as they cannot be sunk.

CREW:
Cappy: Most important person on the ship, who takes the burden of command and distributes it on the backs of others.
helm: Also very important person, flies the ship. duh.
boiler operator: adds coal to the furnace.
Boiler operator's assistant: brings beer and moonshine to the BO, substitutes him if the BO is indisposed.
Flight attendants: carry food, drinks and ammunition around the ship.
Chef: Heats up the canned food on gas stove in the front of the ship.
Joiner: Repairs the hull. always has a spare coffin in storage.

That's life boats, not escape pods :-P

The GTVA uses some metals probably, the scaly Vasudan ships look like they're armored with ceramic plates.

The Shivans use black ink soaked cardboard for the armor of their fighters, which is why their hulls suck.
Shivan capital ships are a mystery right now, but they may be made of some awesome space kevlar.

My hypothesis is that they are spacefaring zeppelins covered with collapsed-core molybdenum skin, and filled with a mixture of propane and oxygen.
There are three things that last forever: Abort, Retry, Fail - and the greatest of these is Fail.

They are made of Sugar, Spice, and Everything nice.

Those ingredients are apparently capable of withstanding multi-kiloton explosions.
