Introduction
Ever felt like you're swimming in a sea of stars, wishing you had more rockets to shoot or, even a little car to cruise? Star Citizen gives you exactly that! A virtual cosmos brimming with ships, ready for adventure.
The Vast Array of Vessels
Star Citizen, unlike some games, boasts a tremendous amount of spacecrafts!
Different Kinds of Ships
Star Citizen has an array of different spacecraft! You can find big ships, small ships and lots in between, all categorized to match your style:
- Big Fighters: (for huge fights)
- Medium Ships: (for missions and traveling)
- Little Boats: (good for exploration!)
These spaceships have different ways to function and different looks to explore! Some are designed for speed and maneuverability, some are armored titans! Each plays differently, affecting your gaming journey!

What's Unique about Each Ship
Every spacecraft in Star Citizen isn't the same, that's what is awesome about them.
- Ship Design – There are variations in color and shape
- Combat Skills -Some will help you battle enemies!
- Cargo Spaces – some will carry more space goods
Each design provides diverse experiences! It’s not just about getting from Point A to Point B (though that's important!). It’s about feeling you are in the right ship for the job!

The Ship Pool and Spawning: A Deeper Look
A big question in Star Citizen is, "How many ships are available to actually launch into action?" (it's like a lottery to get what you desire!)
Getting Your Ship in Space
Many think "You can pick your ship!", that’s almost the way of playing here (and they are half right) (like in other game):
- In-Game Purchases: You have lots to pick (some say many many many…)
- Rewards & Activities: Winning prizes brings you different possibilities for owning a ship!
Unlocking, Purchasing and The Issue of Spawning
Getting the ships are not all as simple as they look, in other words there are hurdles to cross for ships! (similarly as the case for many other games and real life events)
- Initial Purchase Price: some ships need a significant money in game
It can feel tricky for newcomers (for me, it felt so, since there were so many I can select…). However, as time passes (more so for a person that has been playing for many weeks…), there becomes so many that this becomes trivial! This should be easy if done this way by the company in many ways!
Questions on Availability and Access
- Are There Too Many? (too many ships!) Is there something you need to focus?
- How Much are These Ship Worth?(you need to care more if the game needs some real money involved).
- Do All Ships Look Different? The same category might contain many similar-looking ship.
This means a massive pool to explore is here (the more the merrier!)
Star Citizen Reviews and Feedback – An Overview
How is Star Citizen seen by players like me, you and everyone?
Positive Comments:
- Beautiful Graphics and Visuals: Ships are stunning
- Great Sense of Freedom and Openness: feel like space.
- Wide Range of Spacecraft: lots to discover!
Challenges:
- Overwhelming Variety: Many ships! Is there something else to remember!
- Development Slowdowns: Is there a way for it to pick up some pace? (Some may ask…)
- Significant Costs: Cost of ships and upgrades are worth the money!
It is amazing! The developers keep expanding (some things have improved!), which is fantastic for many players and new players like myself to come!
Experiences of a Recent User
I’ve been enjoying the game for (approximately) three months (since there is no exact counting method and it felt like around that time period for me, from my current feeling as I’m writing this right now…). The choices in ships seem quite exciting from my experience… This isn't a quick game for many of us.
It can feel too difficult at times because you can't get everything in a limited time in my opinion, from many people.
The Future of Spacecrafts in Star Citizen

- More ships are to be anticipated, as they seem more than I had originally planned!
The pace is amazing from what I see.
- The game grows rapidly. The scope is always expanding with ship developments!
It seems pretty huge compared to how some similar games function, if I compare.
- Some are saying that it might continue.
Conclusion
The number of ships is staggering, giving endless customization options for our virtual spaceships. In Star Citizen, the number of available choices makes sure you never stop exploring! As a player in this amazing game (myself included), it's impressive. It makes it stand out! So many ships to explore in a huge gaming community like no other! Every ship looks and feels special to me (whether new or old…)
