both have collision shapes

i already have all the nodes ready but im lacking the information to make one react to another

You'll need to connect a body_entered signal from the Area2D to the KinematicBody2D.

You can do that by accessing the "Node" tab when the Area2D is selected

From there, you right click the body_entered signal and then "Connect"

After that, a dialogue box will appear, wherein you can select the SpaceShip node

Clicking "Connect" button on the bottom will create a new function, in this new function you can do whatever you need pertaining to the victory state.
