Using the Factory section: couple of things. Scrapping with equipment on the the ship you're scrapping will return the material value of the equipment scrapped with the ship as well, in case you want to just get rid of the ship+junk altogether.

A differing opinion to the item-building recommendation: it's actually more efficient to build items instead of ships because there are quite a few useful pieces that are only obtained this way (Saiun scout planes, turbines, etc.).

"You get ships while grinding stages anyways, so why not?" is the idea.
