This deep dive breaks down the often-confusing process of claiming your ship in the amazing world of Star Citizen. Let's get started on our space voyage into the known universe.

What are Ship Claim Times?
Ship claim times, in simple terms, is how long you need to wait to get your ship after purchasing it in Star Citizen. This is very vital information (especially) for impatient people, such as myself (who would like to feel excited).
Factors Influencing Ship Claim Times
A multitude of factors affect these waiting periods:
- Ship Type: Larger, more advanced ships generally take longer to acquire. Imagine that a super-duper spaceship may be on the slow lane… (like an expensive car, only in space)
- Current server load: Server issues sometimes mean, unfortunately, that claiming might take a lot more time!
- Shop popularity: Popular ships are more frequently demanded; hence the longer queue (think of people ordering pizza during a party).
- Developer Updates: Sometimes there are major upgrades or other unexpected updates, affecting production and distribution rates. It's almost as if you had an enormous production line that got rearranged.

Wait times in video games, similar to ship delivery systems and other service industries are frequently present (which is a problem, for impatience!). It is a common complaint for the space flight video games sector; yet in fact, the quality is also dependent on the waiting time. Patience, friends, and family will also be your allies during the long claims period! (something important!)

Waiting for your ships in Star Citizen is a common issue for many people, a lot of people do actually complain a lot (and it’s actually annoying!). There are always new ways to adjust these times, such as through customer support or the waiting list service. But the excitement for space is ultimately worth it, no matter how long your spaceship claims time ends up being. Enjoy your journey into space and exploration and experience! Don’t wait until too long for a spaceship; in my honest opinion! Enjoy. Your journey into outer space awaits, friend!
