The Cargo Carrier: Business of Space Transportation
Want to be a cargo pilot making huge sums in the vast universe?
- Pros: The possibility of enormous profits, potential to control the vast trade networks.
- Cons: Need time to make big money; takes a long time. The logistics involved might be complex to some players.
Cargo Ship Examples
- Frigate: One of the best ways to haul large cargo across the universe (if it is a cargo ship of course). This big carrier can support an extensive payload.
- T’aaner: Suitable for long missions (big or small), also popular for the trade aspect of gameplay. Amazing in every way for people who want to enjoy space trading, especially.
Reviews From Experienced Traders
"Trading is really lucrative if you're quick and clever in dealing with different factors, from planet demands to other players' pricing and demand."
"Setting up different supply routes, knowing prices and locations are essential parts for building trade empires."
Exploration Vessels: Embarking on Distant Expeditions
Do you love to explore planets?
- Pros: Incredible discoveries await, breathtaking space scenery and vistas of the stars, it gives a sense of freedom.
- Cons: Very challenging (but rewarding), dangerous planets. The need for powerful shields and high fuel usage for exploring far off areas are sometimes very tough for players.
Exploring Ship Examples
- Asp: Ideal for solo exploration because it can explore huge amounts of territories (relatively inexpensive ship, good all around).
- Freelancer (also under exploration category): Good option for space exploring with more carrying capacities than just a fighter ship. Great in combat.

Exploration Tip from a Senior Explorer
"The view alone is worth the time invested, plus you could find incredible riches hidden across different places."
Questions & Concerns About Ship Renting:
Q: How much do rental ships cost?
A: Costs vary depending on the ship and how long you rent it (length of rental also plays a role). Shorter periods usually will have much more expensive rentals compared to long rentals. You could possibly negotiate with owners for further discounts or to buy it directly depending on your budget and interest.
Q: What about maintenance and fuel?
A: Maintenance fees can add up! Also consider fuel, because some ships need more than others. This factor can impact your choice for rentals, as the long haul for ships would certainly have impact on budget too.
Q: What are the safety precautions I should know before flying?
A: Thoroughly understand the operating principles and guidelines; before each rental flight! A basic understanding of the navigation in space, weaponry systems and space travel physics, even for smaller ones would help immensely! Remember, your skills might come handy during critical points.
Q: Do these rental costs apply on different space systems?
A: Prices vary for each area in different parts of the Star Citizen universe (e.g., spaceports). So you will have different kinds of spaces and vessels.
