Respawn Ship (Rescue Ship)

Obsolete! This article is about something now obsolete that is no longer present in Space Engineers. The page stays on the Wiki for historic purposes.

The Respawn Ship (Rescue Ship) used to be a type of Pre-Built Ship that the player spawned in when creating a new world using the old Asteroids scenario. It used to be known as Respawn Ship 1 in game. It was replaced by the Drop Pod.

Players who died without a linked and powered Medical Room used to respawn in a Rescue Ship at a distant location in the system.

Should I choose it?

When it spawns, the ship will have some damaged and deformed blocks making up its hull. The ship was a good starting point for new players as it contains all of the vital components for travel, refining, assembling and storage. It doesn't have much fuel, so the player will have to secure a supply of uranium quickly to survive.

It used to be possible to farm this ship for all the materials needed in Survival mode simply by powering down any Medical Rooms linked to the player, then committing suicide. Using this method, the player would have to do very little or no mining to progress in the game. However, this trick only worked if the "Delete respawn ship" setting was disabled.

This ship did not change much during Early Alpha. Beta has given it twelve small Ion Thrusters (originally it had less), one  Oxygen Generator, and replaced its  Door with a Sliding Door.
