The ship is revealed to have a hyperdrive system for long range travel. It also has a metal shield that covers the the windshield, likely to be used during sleep, battle, or while using hyperdrive to prevent excessive light exposure. The ship also has a button that activates what appears to be for battle purposes. A red light consumes the ship's interior and a map showing Samus's ship's position is displayed. Samus's gunship has a monitor that displays statistics of Samus's current mission, including enemies killed, shots fired, percentage of rooms found and more. The ship also has a Biohazard Scanner that detects any dangerous substance and amount of substance within Samus's body, notably [[Phazon]]. The most interesting piece, however, within Samus's gunship is the [[Transmission Console|transmission console]]. It allows communication between Samus's ship and other consoles. If the player inputs certain four-digit codes on this console (presumably using [[Galactic Federation]] characters), different messages will be heard by the game's developers. These messages are in Japanese in all versions of the game. It is revealed in Samus's battle against [[Ghor]] that her ship has a self-repair system, artificial intelligence to some degree, and runs on [[Fuel Gel]]. | The ship is revealed to have a hyperdrive system for long range travel.

''Corruption'' also introduces the [[Command Visor]]. This allows Samus to communicate with the ship using a console installed in her visor and [[Arm Cannon]]. She is seen using this feature in earlier games (such as the ending in ''Metroid Prime''), | ''Corruption'' also introduces the [[Command Visor]]. This allows Samus to communicate with the ship using a console installed in her visor and [[Arm Cannon]]. She is seen using this feature in earlier games (such as the ending in ''Metroid Prime''); however, ''Corruption'' shows Samus showing high precision control of the ship for the first time. Samus can call the ship to landing sites marked by [[Landing Beacon]]s, allowing her to save and use the ship to move to another landing site. Once upgraded with [[Ship Missile]]s, Samus can call the ship with the Command Visor to shoot marked areas or areas with enemies and an open sky to send a roll of Ship Missiles crashing. These Missiles cannot harm Samus and can destroy objects made of [[Maldium]]. After obtaining the [[Ship Grapple Beam]], Samus's gunship can grab objects marked with ship [[Grapple Node]]s with the Ship Grapple Beam. The ship holds the grabbed object until it is placed in a suitable location. If Samus gives the ship an unrelated command while the ship is holding an object, it will return the object to its original location. | ||
