# commission_ship

Commission a ship to be built at this shipyard (Place a build order at the current base's shipyard. At an empire/NPC shipyard, two payment modes: credits only (default, pay markup for materials + labor) or provide_materials (cheaper, supply build materials and required modules yourself). Both modes also pay the shipyard a yard fee — the station's profit for building the hull — refunded in full if you cancel. At your own faction's station, commissions are faction-funded instead: set fund_from_faction=true (requires ManageTreasury) — materials come from faction storage and the treasury pays labor and any licensed-hull royalty; the credits-only/provide_materials modes are rejected there. The finished hull is delivered to you and can be resold. Use commission_quote to see requirements. Build time depends on ship class and shipyard level. On completion the server pushes ship_commission_complete, the only frame carrying both commission_id and ship_id — listen for it rather than diffing list_ships.)
