Choosing Your First Star Citizen Ship: Factors to Consider
So many ships (the amount makes you dizzy), which is the right choice?
Your Playstyle
Do you prefer peaceful or hectic action in the sky?
Calm adventurers:
Choose a freighter ship (cargo carrying ship, transporting products between planets), explorers to check out interesting new worlds
Fast paced missions:
Combat vessels with high performance are a good choice. (fighters and battle cruisers).
Ship Size and Purpose (cargo capacity and defense capabilities):
Is there more importance on being able to get your cargo in one peace or high chances of encountering pirate ships? Small and big ships have very important use depending on needs of a character and planned trips.

My (personal) Ship Review: The Cutlass Black
This small, nimble ship felt incredibly special (I personally think its fantastic for a starter!). It handles nicely even when I don't know much (that's because the controls are so amazing)
Pros
- Simple design; good for starting out, lots of possibilities! (you're like a tiny captain)
- Perfect for close-quarters combat! Quick maneuvering means the battle can be intense
- Stylish and futuristic design that keeps you inspired for the adventure ahead
Cons
- Doesn't have much cargo space (a downside).
- Might get outnumbered during tough battles
Common Questions
Q: What kind of equipment a good beginner player should add to the first ships to enhance capabilities?
A: Depends. Consider buying items in combination to protect the spaceship. (Adding lasers or cannons can change gameplay from peaceful to very tense.) Armor packages give special added power.
Q: What happens when pirates meet my ship?
A: Pirates attack in a few scenarios, and each encounter can go two ways (be attacked or have chances to defeat/get away peacefully. Encounters depend on factors such as ship capacity and upgrades)
Q: Can I buy and repair ships or add additional armor plating later?
A: Totally possible; repairing/adding enhancements to a ship are frequent ways for characters to expand their capacity.
