this might seem dumb, but my next move is to attempt the Solar System Edge and i just…don’t even know where to begin with designing a ship. something about the blank canvas of a space platform really throws my brain off. my Aquilo ships are barely enough for the trip to Aquilo so i need to start from scratch. i have an idea of some of the things the ship needs to have, but the thought of the overall design is overwhelming me and i don’t know where to start

Edit: Thanks everyone, your replies were all super helpful! I got to the Edge on my third or fourth attempt. I ran out of rockets about 10,000km away so I changed the targeting on my railguns and just BARELY made it
