Back to Victory
The spaceship is a game concept in Civilization V and its expansions.
Overview[]
By building and launching a spaceship meant to colonize the nearby star system of Alpha Centauri, the player achieves a science victory in Civilization V.
Instruction[]
Players must complete the Apollo Program project before they can start building their spaceship. They also have to research several end-game technologies to unlock each part.
A spaceship consists of six parts that must all be built in cities and then transported to the 
Capital for assembly and launch. Note that the parts will be destroyed if a hostile military unit enters their tile during the transportation phase, so they should be protected well. The specific parts are as follows:
| Part Name | Prerequisite Technology | Required Quantity | Required Resource |  Production Cost
|
|---|---|---|---|---|
 SS Booster
|
 Advanced Ballistics
|
3 |  Aluminum
|
1500 |
 SS Cockpit
|
 Satellites
|
1 | Aluminum
|

 SS Engine
|
 Particle Physics
|
1 | Aluminum
|

 SS Stasis Chamber
|

The Hubble Space Telescope, Spaceship Factory, and Forge (because spaceship parts are considered land units) greatly help by boosting city Production for spaceship parts. In addition, players who choose the Freedom ideology can adopt Space Procurements to buy parts with 
Gold, while those who choose the Order ideology can adopt Spaceflight Pioneers to build parts with Great Engineers.
