Defined in: src/ships/build-metrics.ts:278

What an assembled build weighs, broken down the way BuildMetrics.buildMass weighs it. Every figure is in tonnes.

The mass counterpart of BuildCredits, and the same split: what the bare hull contributes, what the fit adds, and the total. fuel and cargo are the chosen load on top of that, so total is the mass the jump and mobility calculations run on.

readonly cargo: number

Defined in: src/ships/build-metrics.ts:308

Cargo counted, in tonnes. Defaults to an empty hold.

---

readonly fuel: number

Defined in: src/ships/build-metrics.ts:306

Main-tank fuel counted, in tonnes. Defaults to a full main tank.

---

readonly hull: number

Defined in: src/ships/build-metrics.ts:280

Bare hull mass — the hullMass of the hull being flown.

---

readonly modules: number

Defined in: src/ships/build-metrics.ts:292

Every fitted module's post-engineering mass, summed.

Lightweight blueprints are already folded in, and the cargo hatch weighs nothing. A fitted record with no mass at all contributes 0 rather than making the total unavailable — mass is the one figure no article can be missing (see ShipLoadout.unladenMass), which is why there is no unpriced counterpart to BuildCredits.unpriced here.

---

readonly total: number

Defined in: src/ships/build-metrics.ts:310

unladen + fuel + cargo: what the ship weighs at the chosen load.

---

readonly unladen: number

Defined in: src/ships/build-metrics.ts:304

The ship with an empty tank and no cargo — ShipLoadout.unladenMass.

hull and modules are always computed from the hull record and the current fit, while this is the build's own unladen mass, which for an unedited import is the figure the capture stated. The two agree on anything assembled here; where a capture disagrees with the catalogues, this is the one the jump and mobility calculations use and the decomposition is what the catalogues say it is made of.
