[[File:Sagittarius_A_2015-09-23_22-32-31.jpg|thumb|Sagittarius A*]]
'''Sagittarius A*''', often abbreviated as '''Sag A*''' or "Saga", is a famous system that serves as the exact centre of the galaxy. It is home to the game's only known Supermassive Black Hole, also called [[/Sagittarius A*/]] and a much smaller white star called Source 2. The system is very popular due to its significance as the centre of the galaxy, and is a common destination for [[explorer]]s.

Sagittarius A* is 25,900 light years from Sol. It will take roughly 700 jumps to reach the system with a 35-40ly jump range. The record time for reaching Sagittarius A* is around 8-9 hours of nonstop play and not exploring the systems on the way there. Normally, a realistic, profitable voyage to Sagittarius A* and back will take a few weeks.
==A Guide to Getting There==
A voyage to Sagittarius A* and back is not easy - in fact, it is sometimes said to be quite dangerous, but if you ping every system with your [[Discovery Scanner]] and explore the ones that look valuable, it can be extremely profitable - you can make several tens of millions from a Sagittarius A* trip.
===The Right Stuff===

If you want to set off on the journey, you need to be equipped properly''':'''
*'''An exploration ship''' - you can't go exploring without having a ship meant for it! [[Diamondback Explorer]]s are particularly recommended for exploration due to their low cost (2 million credits) and very high maximum jump range (34ly). [[Asp Explorer]]s have a higher jump range at 37ly, but they are much more expensive at a price of 6 million credits. [[Anaconda]]s are capable of reaching up to 40ly, but it is extremely expensive. Shorter voyages to other locations like the Orion Nebula can be accomplished in a [[Cobra Mk. III]] or a [[Hauler]], however.
*'''Advanced Discovery Scanner''' - most systems, especially systems with hot, white stars, will have objects that are over 1,000 light-seconds away from the star and will not be detected with an Intermediate or Basic scanner.
*'''[[Detailed Surface Scanner]]''' - Detailed surface scans will maximise the amount of credits you can get by scanning objects.
*'''Class D modules''', except [[Frame Shift Drive]] (FSD) - Having Class D modules will increase your jump range, but your FSD must be the best it can possibly be. The best FSDs cost around 4-5 million credits. By the way, if you get worried downgrading your modules to Class D, don't. You don't actually need anything other than Class D (Except your FSD, of course), including [[Life Support]], [[Power Plant]], and [[Thrusters]].
*'''Do NOT''' put utility slots or weapons on board! There will be no-one around to attack you while exploring, and having weapons or utility slots on board will massively decrease your jump range. You don't need shields either, so unequip whatever shields your exploration ship has got and just be careful when leaving and entering a station. Seriously, don't do it.
*[[Auto Field-Maintenance Unit]]s are handy to have but they're not essential. Your modules will deteriorate over time and it's likely you will warp into a not-nice location along the way. They don't really reduce your jump range significantly.
*If you're in a Diamondback Explorer and your jump range is about 34.2ly, you've done it right. If you're in an Asp Explorer and your jump range is about 37ly, you've done it right. And if your expensive Anaconda's jump range is almost precisely 40ly, you've also done it right. If not, you've got some adjusting to do.
===Patience is Key===
Sagittarius A* isn't exactly a walk down the street - it's 25,900 light years away from sol. You read that right - Twenty-five thousand light years from [[Sol]]. You won't be able to plop yourself in the seat of an Asp Explorer, hop on over to the centre of the galaxy, and get back to Earth in time for tea at grandma's. It takes, at the absolute minimum, 8 hours to get there. That's not an awfully long time, but remember that the guy that got there in 8 hours did literally nothing else but get to his destination, and 8 hours is just the time it took to get there, and it's unknown how long he spent getting back to Sol.

If you want a profitable voyage, you'll need both time and patience and you must be able to handle being away from civilisation for a few weeks of playing until you get to the core where it's likely you'll meet up with other visiting explorers.
===Know What You Can Scoop===
Not every star is scoopable - only 7 star types are scoopable:
*Red Dwarf Stars (M)
*Orange Dwarf Stars (K)
*Yellow Dwarf Stars (G)
*Yellow-White Dwarf Stars (F)
*Blue Main Sequence Stars (A, B and O)
The sequence can be remembered with the phrase, "Oh Be A Fine Girl, Kiss Me!" or simply "KGB Foam". Be aware that T-Tauri stars are often mistaken for normal stars, as they look exactly the same - but you can tell if it's a T-Tauri star if you get into fuel scooping range and nothing happens. It will also show that it's a T-Tauri star on the system map. Be aware that sometimes you will stumble into massive swathes of space that are full of T-Tauri stars and you might run low on [[Fuel]] while inside. If this happens, search for the nearest scoopable star or if there are none nearby and you're close enough to inhabited space (<1,000ly), you can get someone with [[Fuel Transfer Drone]] to help out.

Running out of fuel in the middle of a voyage is the worst thing that can happen to an explorer - without fuel, you can't make jumps, your modules will run out of power, and you'll be left to die. Unless the fuel rats manage to save you.

==Notes==
* Sagittarius A* is the only known Supermassive Black Hole in the game - as well as being one of the largest objects.
* Being the centre of the galaxy, Sagittarius A* is one of the most popular systems outside of inhabited space. It is particularly popular with explorers, but caution is advised if going there in Open Play as some explorers have had issues with gankers waiting at the black hole to interdict unarmed explorers going to the system.
* Many explorers have pleaded to have a special community goal to colonise the system and build [[Starport]]s there.
* Special voyages have been proposed to bring an [[Unknown Artefact]] to the black hole and see if it will do anything. None have been attempted due to how far away it is, the knowledge that it might do nothing at all, and the fact that Unknown Artefacts attack your ship's modules.

<div style="float: right;">__TOC__</div>

'''Ships''' are used to traverse space and perform a variety of different tasks between traversing. As with previous Elite games, there is a variety of designs.

Currently there are 23 ships, built by a number of manufacturers - each having its own unique style. There are plans to have a total of 30 playable ships and some variants in addition to some non-playable ships. Each ship has access to a range of different modules which they can fit to help specialize as [[trader]]s, [[smuggler]]s, [[Bounty Hunter|bounty hunters]], [[pirate]]s, etc. Of the unreleased ships, every ship listed as upcoming is already represented in game data and makes up the remaining balance of the original 25 planned ships. Every ship in the speculated ships column is something we have concept art for or developer comments, but is not currently present in the game data.

All commanders begin the game with a [[Sidewinder]]. The player may upgrade components or purchase an entirely new ship based upon their needs and available funds. New ships can only be purchased at [[station|Stations]] with the [[Shipyard]] service and modules can only be changed or upgrades at stations with the [[Outfitting]] service.

==Ship Types==
===Multipurpose===
Multipurpose ships are a jack-of-all-trades in that they can easily be fitted for whatever role the player needs; whether it be hauling cargo, ship-to-ship combat, or exploring the [[stars]], multipurpose ships can do it all.

===Combat===
Combat ships are typically faster, more agile and more heavily armed than other ships of the same size. The exception to this would be gun boats, which have more weapon mounts designed for turrets, but sacrifice their agility for them.

===Freighter===
Freighters are typically slow, cumbersome and lightly armed, but provide extreme hauling capabilities. Useful for traders and smugglers alike.

===Explorer===
Exploration ships typically come with large default jump ranges, large [[Fuel Tank]]s for ships of their size, and should be fitted with lots of low class [[Internal Compartment]]s for [[Discovery Scanner|scanners]] to optimize jump distance. These ships are designed to be able to equip the multitude of scanning equipment needed for an expedition, then fly long distances into the void without the need for regular refueling through the use of [[Fuel Scoop]]s.

===Passenger===
Couriers who fly passengers and valuable items with small storage requirements have a special class of ships available to them. These ships are elegant and fast, designed to quickly and comfortably get from one system to the next. You can think of them as giant space-limousines. However, as of now, passenger ships have no significant use in the game as passengers themselves have yet to be implemented.

==Ship Outfitting==
All ships are highly customizable through outfitting. Each outfit slot has a maximum class that can be put into that slot. This only lists what type of outfit slots are available for each ship, their exact content has to be put on some other page. For example: Internal compartments can contain cargo space, where class 1 = 2t, class 2 = 4t, class 3 = 8t, class 4 = 16t... But Internal compartments can also contain [[Shield Cell Bank|shield cell banks]], scanners, etc. Apart from classes, outfits also have a quality rating A-H, and other characteristics such as energy drain, armour piercing, etc.

Max class for each outfit slot in table below (more info on respective ship page):

== Faction Ships ==
Frontier are developing a family of ships for the navies of each faction in the game. Examples:
* [[Imperial Courier]] - Empire Scout
* [[Imperial Cutter]] - Civilian version of Empire Light Warship
* [[Imperial Fighter]] - Imperial Fighter
* [[F63 Condor]] - Federal Fighter
* [[Farragut]] - Federal Capital Ship
* [[Majestic Class Interdictor]] - Empire Capital Ship

The fleet-class ships that are available to the game’s major factions follow a hierarchy.<ref>[http://us2.campaign-archive1.com/?u=dcbf6b86b4b0c7d1c21b73b1e&id=c0b11fe947 Newsletter #7]</ref>

=== Cruisers (Battlecruisers, Battleships, Interdictors) ===
Long range, independent ships that are capable of controlling entire systems. Heavily armed and capable of deploying large fighter squadrons. The capital ships already shown are an example of this class. In the [[Empire]] they are usually known as “Interdictors” – named after the first successful class of cruisers. Currently the most common and most successful is the Majestic class – generally referred to as a “Majestic class Interdictor”. As ships that can also carry out ambassadorial missions they can be used for ‘soft’ power projection, as well as hard.

=== Frigates ===
These are large ships designed for escort duties. The actual vessels vary greatly between navies, but are all designed to engage multiple small, fast enemies (typically fighters and missile swarms) and are loaded with point defence batteries. They will also have some anti-ship capability, but are not designed to go up against other warships.

=== Destroyers ===
These are anti-warship vessels, but are generally no longer used in the front line, though some are still in service.

=== Carriers ===
Designed for the deployment of fighter squadrons. Obsolete in the fleets of the major factions due to the popularity of Cruisers, but small navies still make use of them and some have even been converted into transporters.

=== Transporters (Couriers) ===
Armoured warships designed specifically for transporting valuable assets and cargo quickly and safely.

=== Corvettes (Cutters) ===
Light multi-role warships, capable of reconnaissance, incursions and escort missions. These small warships are also popular with smaller [[factions]], organizations and even wealthy individuals due to their adaptability. The Imperial Cutter is a lighter and faster Corvette-class ship, which players will be able to get their hands on in the final game (assuming they can make the right contacts).

=== Fighters ===
Small short-range craft that generally cannot operate independently due to having no jump capability. Their main roles include the defence of stations and the large warships that they are deployed from. Commercial fighters are typically jump-capable and are therefore much more flexible than their faction-specific counterparts.

=== Drones ===
Small automated ships that have largely been phased out due to the existence of effective counter-measures.
