How to Start Crafting

 * See main article: Crafting

The player must first gather data samples either in space or while on away missions. These are then used to create the basic ingredient in each crafting recipe; a schematic. With a schematic of the correct type and sufficient data samples, the player can then fabricate items at one of the research consoles. Each item crafted will increase the player's crafting skill, which unlocks more advanced crafting recipes.
