Star Citizen lets you buy ships using real-world currency, it's a huge step up in making it real! What makes this intriguing is that prices are always moving like tides (who knows, may be a secret mission). It depends on numerous factors, just like anything real life.

Factors Affecting Ship Values
Many variables change a ship's price, like demand and supply (duh), rarity, technology (cool new features), features of a spaceship (number of seats and cannons, important thing!), condition (how "fresh" the ship is, you can tell just by looking at it), and more things that you don't need to think about, but you need to see!
- Supply and demand: Like any product, higher demand, means the higher cost, just like in markets and shopping stores. (Right?)
- Rarity and exclusivity: If a ship is hard to find, like a "super rare collectible," the value goes up.
- Technology and features: Ships with state-of-the-art systems cost more than basics.
- Ship condition and upgrades: A used, but cared-for spaceship is less valuable than brand-new ships.
(In short, getting the spaceship you desire has a lot of things.)
The Spectrum of Ship Types and Prices
Different types of ships have different cost structures, with huge variation in values (lots of it, that's for sure.)

Diving Deeper into Player Experience and Review
The ship-owning experience (I am going to experience!)
Talking about different opinions on prices:
(Personal Experience: Owning a small ship) – owning a smaller, but functional spaceship.
Positive: I felt like I conquered space and could explore everywhere! Freedom is good.
Negative: Ship is a little less armed (just joking!)
One other's player experience (Someone I know, player #12) :
Positive: I got a huge thrill to pilot an enormous battleship. It felt amazing, an unforgettable feeling (a real sense of satisfaction)!
Negative: Really pricy for battleships (makes a whole lot of difference in money!).
(Here are more thoughts from other players on Star Citizen ships (mostly their opinion):
- "Star Citizen ship costs have been controversial, yet understandable to the most. A simple matter of supply and demand!"
- "Great for the money; you're making yourself the spaceship tycoon! I did enjoy the variety, in fact!"
(Remember these are only personal views)
Real Money, Big Investments
Purchasing ships in Star Citizen is a significant financial decision, one must always compare. There are also ways to try out before purchasing (like renting one for a small amount), and remember you can find cheaper ships if you look a little harder!
Consider:
- What's your playstyle?
- Your investment capacity?
- What type of ship can you handle the cost of (with many different types in reality)?
Don't just leap into buying the fanciest, look at value too; otherwise you may make an awful deal in terms of cost to what the value is (in terms of money, and worth). This way, your money goes to more satisfying things, while saving for other future ships!
(It's good to remember this rule)
