Exploring Different Makes and Models
Let's dive a little deeper into different models available in the game, such as (the "Arrow") (as an example), noting different prices.
The Arrow – A Nimble Fighter
The Arrow is known for its unparalleled maneuverability and speed, (which feels excellent!) great for aerial battles. However, be careful not to crash in these tricky turns or the ship can be difficult in close-quarters combat or when hitting enemies. While maneuverable, it does lack powerful offensive firepower. Also the Arrow is less suited to combat as a sole choice, maybe best coupled with something heavier!
- Price: Varies depending on its modification (a standard price for basic) (some add-ons, some enhancements can cost a huge amount and not as helpful).
The Bison – A Cargo Colossus
This mighty carrier allows players to transport huge amounts of cargo and wealth. The Bison's robust design proves to be an ideal trade vehicle (as it does allow players to load up and make many trips.) However, slow compared to the Arrow's speed.
- Price: Quite high due to the sheer size of the vessel.
Comparing Styles – An Insider View
My experience suggests these particular designs are very important, in finding a way to choose which suits your individual style. (It really makes the entire game quite fun when you find your ideal craft) and allows for much more freedom! Others, based on online comments say (some really aren’t impressed with) (or the ship simply didn't impress them!.) "Just like choosing an outfit, this choice shapes who you want to be in the galaxy," comments a fellow player on the official forums.
Tips for Buying Ships Wisely in Star Citizen
-
Consider your playstyle. Do you prefer to dogfight, haul cargo or explore? Decide and focus on finding the best design. (that’s crucial!)
-
Compare prices across different market stalls Different sales locations can vary.
-
Don't ignore condition and upgrades. Sometimes a pre-owned ship, which is modified, is often cheaper and even more useful, for the initial start of a star journey.
-
Consider fuel and repair costs. Factor them into the overall price – make an additional checklist for budget calculations to estimate the ongoing operational expenses (don’t ignore costs of refueling for each use!). They also help you focus on the quality that best suits your budget and resources!
