Star Citizen, a game for the future, promises an expansive and immersive space-exploration experience. But like real-life purchases, it comes with some details. Many people ask, "What's all this fuss about Star Citizen?"
How to Buy Ships in Game?
Star Citizen offers many types of ships. Crucially, you need in-game currency to buy ships. You earn it mainly by playing the game – flying, doing missions, etc. You're buying it all on the space market.
Common Methods to Earn Currency
- Missions are a big source of currency.
- Trading ships is also good.
- Completing contracts can give you significant amounts of currency.
(That's why you need to learn and improve skills within the game!)

The Costs and Expenses of Purchasing Ships
A spaceship's price often varies. Small ships can cost a smaller amount (imagine the cost of your old toy), but a sleek and massive war-fighter ship might make your eyes water at how much they cost!
Understanding Ship Classifications
- Frigates and corvettes, which look cool and handy (often used for smaller operations).
- Cruisers and destroyers might be faster and costlier (good for exploring more dangerous situations!).
- Battleships? These massive space titans are generally for very ambitious explorers or corporations. (Very few could buy these kinds of warships, they are so costly, are they worth it? Ask any serious spaceship buyer.)
A Gamer's Review – My Personal Experience
Frankly, my initial experiences were thrilling! Star Citizen feels more real-world like the space program from other sci-fi movies, like something real can happen in game!
I started with the very first spaceship. Even flying a small ship (corvette, probably around 150k) felt really special, owning my first starship. It looked like one from sci-fi films and it made me want to start a real spacefaring corporation with my spaceship!
I've been doing different tasks for currencies in order to buy better ship for hours. Trading was interesting, though trading ships always felt complicated for some reasons! Each time the market moves and makes changes you don't know why. Sometimes you sell for more than you bought, but other times it goes downwards like never!
Some issues came up after a while. Buying things cost more than you want to spend or when you earn just slightly, enough to do little missions. Sometimes buying isn't so simple or direct, especially if you aren't skilled in trade!
The game gives you the option of going into many directions – I see this like a space simulator but is it realistic? Maybe.

Question 4: Do you love realistic detail?
If realism matters to you, Star Citizen excels here! This matters more to advanced pilots that already know the ways and needs in order to make the best ship for themselves! (Some people need to fly fast and others for massive firepower. The details may matter if you wish for one more powerful than the other.)
Exploring Different Roles
Consider what your gaming aspirations involve:
- Cargo Runner? Flying loads in small ships (a simple start)!
- Mission Pilot? Taking down bad guys, transporting crucial info
- Traider? (Buy and selling in the space markets to maximize profits)
- Large fleet operations: maybe becoming captain of a fleet!
- Warfare hero?: becoming an active combat leader on the spacefront
The Ultimate Space Voyage: A Closing Word
Owning your very own starship within Star Citizen is indeed quite a feeling. Getting ships and using them wisely in this world has always felt worth the efforts, although challenges might appear every now and then when you are exploring different ships.
(You just need to embrace it!)
