# Components Once you have gathered sufficient resources, you can use any station's **Crafting Machine** to forge them into various **Components**. These components are essential for constructing modular ship systems or can be sold at shops for gold. Creating a component is not a simple matter of combining resources. You must either **know the precise recipe** or **experiment by trial and error** to discover viable combinations. You can learn more about this process in the **Craft** section. A vast array of components exists, classified into six rarity tiers based on their technological sophistication and utility: **Common****, ****Uncommon****, ****Rare****, ****Epic****, ****Legendary****, and ****Mythical**. Acquiring a valuable component presents a strategic choice: **keep it** as a crucial ingredient for crafting a powerful ship system, or **sell it** on the market for immediate, substantial profit. Components are always in high demand across the galaxy due to their **universal application**. They are the fundamental, widely-traded elements required to manufacture nearly all valuable and useful technological systems.
