The Starship Shopping Spree: A Star Citizen Guide

This guide aims to walk you through Star Citizen's extensive inventory of ships. From budget-friendly racers to powerful behemoths, this universe offers options for all skill levels, wallets, and playstyles.

Understanding Your Starship Budget

Your pockets (your in-game wallet) determine what vessels are within reach. Star Citizen is a game of degrees. If you are starting (that's called the newbie!), you'll find more affordable options.

Basic starter ships: Essential for maneuvering in early phases, but lacking bells and whistles.
Mid-tier ships: These vessels represent an upgrade with better performance and accommodations.
Premium ships: Ultimate spacecraft for sophisticated players and captains with deep pockets.

Reviews from the Crew!

Captain Jax: "The Cutlass Black is awesome, maneuverable, and perfectly optimized for combat, absolutely recommendable! (that was what they told me on forums)"

Buying in the Bazaar: Tips to Get the Best Deals

Finding great ships can be tough! Some places provide the cheapest prices:

Use your Star Citizen currency (the ingame currency): Spend it strategically, make smart use of currency.
Shop wisely, you're in space! (shops at space stations): Shop around, use your star maps.
Read reviews and get opinions: Other pilots know the ins and outs of specific crafts!

Avoid making hasty purchases (making quick decisions!).
Read reviews and look around first (especially when spending alot). Look through comments, watch videos. (That is what some helpful forums suggested!). This process also avoids spending all of your currency in a hurry!

Questions Frequently Asked

Is it possible to upgrade my ships? Definitely! Upgrades make your ship better, allowing you to adjust the equipment to meet your specific needs.
Where do I find ship parts? Often the same location you get parts from in order to upgrade, but often sold in the space station. There are tons of websites and fora that explain locations for parts. (I know you were concerned about where to get your parts, there's many sites!).
Are there hidden ship parts? The more involved you are in the Star Citizen story, the more places you can discover! Often, ship locations (or part locations) are associated with tasks and plots (but they often provide great insights!)!
Can you customise (design, tweak) ship exterior and interior appearance? Absolutely!

These modifications let your creativity shine and personalize your vessel.
