NAME
  [1] build -- construct a ship

SYNTAX
	build [type]

DESCRIPTION
  build enables the user to construct a ship provided there are enough
resources to do so.

  If the ship type is not specified, build will prompt for one.  At this
point typing a '?' will produce a list of the different ship types, their
capabilities, and their resource cost in the 'cost' column.  Ships are
identified by their letter.

  If there are enough resources, and there are not too many ships already
in orbit or landed on the planet, build will now ask the sector on which
the player wishes to construct the ship.  This sector must belong to him
and be a flat area (not mountainous).

  At this point the resource point cost will be deducted from the player's
stockpiles, and build will attempt to crew and fuel the ship as it is
constructed.  If there are not enough people on that sector to crew the
ship, one token crewmember will be placed there.

  A short explanation of ship capabilities:

 ltr: Ship letter used to identfy the ship.  This is the letter you must
	type in to choose that ship.
 ship: A short name for that type of ship.
 carg: Maximum cargo (resources) the ship can carry (see ``load'').
 armr: Resistance to damage.  A straight ratio; the higher, the better.
 dstcap: Maximum destructive capacity (weapons) the ship can carry.
 guns: Amount of destructive capacity the ship can fire at once.
 mass: Weight of the ship (in Standard Units).  Heavier ships move slower.  This
	value changes as things are loaded/unloaded on the ship.
 fuelcap: Maximum fuel the ship can carry.
 mintech: You must be at this tech or above to build the ship.
 cost: Amount of resource points required to build.
 ^crew: Maximum number of crew (or tons of biomass) the ship can carry.
