Finally, add the setter method!

what is wrong

Spaceship.java 
public class Spaceship {
  public String mType;

  public String getType() { return mType; }

  public void setType(Spaceship mType) {
        this.mType = mType;}
}

Ma;

For the Setter, we are not accepting a Spaceship object as the type, just a string with the type of Spaceship. So that would look like:

public void setType(String type) {}

We are then setting our member variable mType to the variable that was passed into our Setter, type.

mType = type;

See if that points you in the correct direction.
