So you want to build a starship eh? Well let me inform you, that every starship build always ends poorly. You'll notice that the last step of the starship building process is "cry" and it is a very important step.
For example. You will finish building the starship only to have the HoS and Detective mutiny against you for cancelling a shuttle call on an extended round. They will arrest you and continue calling the shuttle so you don't even get to enter the starship. True story.
To build the starship you need the cooperation of many people however it is possible to do it by yourself (hardcore difficulty) or 2 people.
And a note from necromorphus: People will attempt to build the starship everyround and it's annoying. I only recommend building the starship during extended rounds and times when the server is not very populated (early morning).
Suggested roles for building a starship:

Suggested roles for building a starship:
Captain - He has access to the entire station and all the jobs. The best job to take if the server is rather unpopulated. Alternately you could get his ID (thats a no brainer).
HoP - Same situation as the captain, can give himself all access which helps greatly. Starship access is also needed if you want to enter the starship.
Miner - Adamantite and silver is required for the starship as well as plasma for spaceship fuel.
Research Director or Scientist - Research is a requirement for the starship. The RD can give you access to the teleporter module which gives bluespace 2 research (very important). If you are a scientist then you will have to ask for it or break into his office for it.
Roboticist - Has access to tech storage for a communications module and exofab to make items for R&D.
Chief Engineer - Can set up sing so that the station has power and is also acting captain if no other heads on are (get that ID!)

Item checklist & location.
From easiest to hardest to obtain.
For all R&D items check the research guide.
Cables - Rather easy to obtain.
Wrench - Toolbox or toolbelt.
Tracking Beacon - Can be made from R&D. I'm not sure if you can use a random one lying around the ship. My best guess is probably you can, I haven't tried and making it is very easy.
Blasto Module - Located in the vault, the vault is at the bridge. Ask the captain for it or hack into the bridge for it.
Communications Circuit Board - R&D or tech storage
Bluespace Crane - R&D
Dimensional Warpfinder - R&D
Hyper Capacity Cell - R&D
Adamantite Starship Frame - Created from the adamantite refinery with a fused adamantite core. Read guide below.
Alien Core - Located on the alien station. Read guide below.

Alien Core - Located on the alien station. Read guide below.
Blastco guide.
The blastco is located in the vault at the bridge. To get to the vault, go outside HoP's office. Go through the command door to the north to enter the bridge. Then go left. You should see a funny looking white door above 2 emergency o2 closets. Behind that is the vault and inside the vault contains the blast co module. Make sure to grab the 3 stacks of gold from the gold chest (middle north grey chest) while you're there. If you forget, thats fine, the miner will have to find some gold.
Adamantite Frame.
To build the frame, you need to go to mining so preferably get mining access. Gear up and go to the station. Go north to pick up the fused adamantite core and go mine 4 blocks of adamantite, 1 block of silver and 1 block of gold depending on whether or not you got the 3 stacks of gold from the vault. Make sure that one the ore is on the ground, use your satchel on all the ore and it will pick it all up. Try and mine some plasma as well as that is used for starship fuel.
Once you have gathered all your materials, smelt the silver (and gold) and bring the adamantite to the refinery located behind the airlock door inside mining. First use the screwdriver on the refinery and then add the fused adamantite core. Now insert adamantite and click convert to energy. Do this until you have 200 energy or more.
Once you have 200 energy or more, enter another shard if the machine is empty, and infuse it with power this time instead of converting it. Infuse your crystal to have more than 200 energy then click transform into item and transform it into adamantite frame.
The reason why we add the fused adamantite core is because without it, you won't be able to infuse an adamantite shard over 101 energy which makes you unable to build the adamantite frame.

Research guide.
If you are playing research then this is part for you. There is probably an easier way to get all the required research but this is my way so deal with it. If you find an easier way then feel free to post here! Destructing these items will allow you to build the starship items.
1. Link the R&D consoles with the other machines. This should be a no brainer.
2. Grab the metal and glass on the table to your right. Insert 15 sheets of metal and glass into the prolathe and 15 sheets of glass into the circuit imprinter, also add the sulfuric acid into the circuit imprinter. Add gold and silver if you have them. 3 stacks of gold can be obtained in the vault, silver must be obtained by a miner.
3. Get 2x syringe guns and 1x Ultra AC2 from the robotics fabricator from a roboticist. They are under exosuit equipment. Alternately you can break in to robobay by deconstructing a wall to the right of R&D.
4.Break into the RD's office for the teleporter module. Ask RD or Captain for the teleporter module in the RD's office.
5. Destruct 2x high capacity power cells found in the top right table of R&D room.
6. Destruct the 2x syringe guns and 1x AC2.
7. Destruct an analyser from a blue toolbox.
8. You should be able to build the bluespace crane and dimensional warpfinder now. Build them.
9. Build 1x tracking beacon.
10. Build 2x super capacity power cells and destruct both.
10.5. Add gold and silver if you haven't already.
11. Build the 1x hyper capacity power cell.
12. Go to the circuit builder and build a communications board. Congratulations you are done research. A communications board can be found in tech storage which roboticists have access to, they can get that for you so you if needed.

Alien Core
The alien core is one of the hardest and most important item to get. It should be your first item that you try and get. Always send a person to retrieve the alien core before you do anything else because without it, you won't be able to build the spaceship.
The alien core is located on the alien station. The alien station is on another z-level so you have to explore space to get it. To get a good look of what the alien station looks like, when you're a ghost, click jump to mob and click an alien entity. That will show you what the station looks like and where the core is located. Its possible to get the core without fighting the aliens (by breaking through the walls and retrieving it directly).
First obtain a space suit. Any space suit will do, mining, engineering or an EVA space suit. Next you should obtain a hand tele to teleport back to the station. If you can't thats fine, it'll be harder to come back to the station. Next, once your space suit is on with internals, go to the chapel mass driver and mass driver yourself to space. Now pray to the RNG gods that you end up at the Alien Station. If not, you'll have to keep space exploring.
> If you have the hand tele, it would be ideal to set it to a beacon on the station, move that beacon near the chapel mass driver. If you don't hit the alien station when you mass driver yourself, just teleport back and try again.
Once you find the Alien Station, there are a couple key things to note here. There is a space ship docked at the station to the south. There is medical equipment and ammo located there as well as a jetpack (the jetpacks are called voidpacks or something like that). There are weapons located in the inner station but you must fight a couple aliens to get there.
I recommend donning a jetpack and skipping the weapons. If you know where the alien core is then you can break through the walls, get it and run away before you die. Else you could go for the weapons and shoot your way through but it is very hard without a flare or flashlight. Once you have retrieved the alien core, head back to the station with the hand tele or continue space exploring until you get back.
Once again, its very important to know the layout of the alien station before attempting a retrieval.

Starship Fuel
The spaceship needs fuel to fly. It uses plasma so make sure to mine some plasma while you're mining
Dummies guide to spaceship
Alright so assuming you just started a round as any job. This is what you want to do to build the starship.
1. Get help. Ask if theres anyone that wants to build a starship. If there is then good, if you get no help then fuck it. Don't even bother. It is hard as fuck to do it alone.
2. Try and get all access. The first thing you should do is go for the alien core. If you can't get it then you won't be able to build a Starship. Ask your friend if they know how to get it. Even better if they have a space suit to get it.
3. Send someone to retrieve the alien core or go yourself. Go mining afterwards, for some adamantite, silver and gold. You only need to retrieve the fused adamantite core, mine about 3 blocks of adamantite, 1 block of gold, 1 block of silver and any plasma but you can do that later.
4. Once you have refined your silver and gold, now its time to do R&D. Get access and follow the guide above to get all your parts.
5. Once you have all your parts, go to the starship builder located left of escape shuttle and follow the in-game guide to build the starship. Remember it takes 15 minutes to build.
6. During those 15 minutes, you want to get starship access if you haven't gotten all access. It is required to board the starship. Next you want to mine some plasma for starship fuel.
7. Board your starship when its completed and enjoy.
8. Cry as the shuttle is called and you arn't done playing with the starship.
