Star Citizen, right? This is a huge game! You build a ship and blast off into space! A whole lot of different vessels. From tiny probes to gigantic warships. Every single ship is quite special. Lots of options. But…which one? This guide will help. You could even see it as your personal space odyssey!
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Ship
- Budget: A small vessel might fit in a smaller budget
- Your style: Are you a warrior or trader? What suits you, space explorer or fighter pilot? Think about that when selecting your first choice.
- Gameplay: How often will you be facing enemies? You'll spend tons of hours aboard these machines!
- Personal preference: You may need a comfy chair if you plan to relax in the cosmos a while. What's comfy to one, is not comfortable to another. This should guide your ship's style decision!
