Introduction to Star Citizen's Economy

Star Citizen's economy is tricky. Lots of factors affect a ship's cost: its stats, rarity, and appearance, like those cool painting jobs (they sell!), play style and usefulness and demand from pilots (what you think matters!). Ships need love and attention.
The Core Ship Price Breakdown (3.23)
So, how much will you spend, for what?
Standard Ships
- Basic Cargo Carriers: Usually good for transport missions, reasonable cost, maybe worth considering!
- Lightweight Fighters: Perfect for fast chases, quick movements and tactical maneuverability. Usually cheaper than other fighters!
- Heavy-duty Battleships: Built for strength, huge cost and durability in tough engagements, big gun-fighters!
- Explorers: Affordable ships for solo explorations in outer regions, fun and relaxing missions for small crew!
Premium and Exotic Ships
- Luxury Passenger Liners: Designed for spacious trips, good for hauling, often priced higher.
- Advanced Frigates: Well-armored, top performance but prices increase due to rarity!
- Capital-Class Battleships: Meant to be money-makers for the serious players! Expect high prices.
- Premium Trade Ships: Unique features for increased earning potential and heavy cargo hauling.
My Personal Experience:
This is my first time diving into this level, it has definitely cost a fair amount! But I really love it! This ship thing is not too much confusing after reading this and having time to absorb and really check what ships I want, what features it have and if it worth the price I'm willing to spend! I'm learning this space market on the fly!

Many commenters have noted this increase, many were upset! (I wonder if there are any problems the community is aware of!) More experienced users, often seen as valuable sources, think some prices seem too high or very very low. (Could need careful review). It's good to compare notes before jumping in!
Is it Worth It? A Final Thought
That is totally dependent on your individual desires and goals.
Q: How to avoid buying a ship that has bad characteristics and bad performances (not practical)?, especially the new patch brought changes?
A: Use caution. Thoroughly research. Watch video reviews to assess real usage/performance of these changes! (Don't hesitate!) Ask players to check in and validate that it won't be too painful on your wallet! (Ask friends!).
Buying a ship shouldn't be rash, like that time when I bought those super fancy shoes (they weren't very comfortable in the long run!).
Consider carefully. Will this help my play style? Is it worth the price? Consider how long your desired ship stays popular! Remember that you will most probably change your style in due time, or even worse, need money from the trade in your chosen ship for repairs.
Conclusion: The Star Citizen ship economy is vibrant and engaging, with both significant risks and rewards! Happy piloting! (Now that we know, I'll have more money and time to start! ).
