[edit] Overview
The hull select window is either opened from Base Command - Ship or Ship Command - Build (using the Detail Button) to select a ship to build or from Quick Build to select a hull for a new ship template.
[edit] Select Hull to Build
The top part of the screen shows the requirements to build the currently selected hull as well as the metals and cash available in the base / ship. If this screen gives you a column of all green lights, you are all clear to build the ship. You have the hull tech level, the money and the minerals to put this hull together. If you get a red light and see that you are lacking money or metals you can look at the blue column on the right, you might have the needed metals and money in orbit around this planet in a pod or in a ship, if you do you can beam the metals down to the base and build this hull.
(Note: If you beaming the materials from\to an ally you may have to wait until the next turn to build this hull).
