There are 3 game modes: Solo (single player), Private Group (with friends and invites), and Open Play (with everyone). Newbies are recommended to play in Solo or Private Group, because it is safer. Open Play has the risks of random encounters with other players and PVP combat. The majority of players are in Solo or Private Groups. You can find other players in hot spots or systems with [[Community Goals|community goals]]. [[Squadrons]] are organized groups of players, similar to a guild. They are useful to socialize and do cooperative content like [[Operations]]. Many supports newbies and teaches them the ropes. The player base is very spread out across the [[galaxy]] and in 1 of 3 game modes. Thus it is rare to meet other players.

There are over 45 flyable [[ships]]. These come in 3 sizes: small, medium, large. They can have specific roles like combat, exploration, trading or multi-purpose. These ships are highly customizable via [[outfitting]]. The ship's modules and performance can be [[Engineers|engineered]] past the standard limits. The engineers can upgrade the tier of a blueprint in exchange for raw, manufactured and encoded [[materials]]. The [[Capital Ship|capital ships]] cannot be piloted directly, instead the owner gives orders. Capital ships like the [[Drake-Class Carrier]] and [[Javelin-Class Carrier]] are end-game features due to the very expensive price and upkeep costs.
