Hopefully some new info for ya.
Star Ocean the last hope is the first one where you actually get to captain your own spaceship, named the Calnus (japanese name seems to be Karunasu). Hero Edge Maverick is captain of the Calnus, which is outfitted with everything you need to be a hip outer-space hero: a cockpit, rec room, living quarters, a conference area where you'll be able to create and mix items together (an SO hallmark), and a battle-training chamber
Looks like from the cockpit you can visit different planets and hopefully explore them.
The living quarters
Inside the ship the main offers lots of private actions and hopefully gain more insight to your crew members.
Celestial sphere room to simulate combat training
the room for all the item creation. its possible to create over a 1000 different items.
