Star Citizen and Star Citizen Squadron 42 (campaign mode of Star Citizen) are strange games. Not only do their promises want to cover an entire universe, but they are also in full development (in alpha state). However, at least the first one can be played without problems. Although Star Citizen is not finished yet, it has a large community of fans who are eager to play the final product. 

One of the most important features of this MMO Space Sim are their game ships. Thanks to them, players can cross the universe. In this post, we’ll talk about all the types of ships that exist in this incredible game. We will also discuss their functions, features, and last but not least, the prices. Thus, it’s for you to decide which of them you want to rent or buy.

What Are Ships in the SC Universe?

A ship in Star Citizen

Concept ships are the principal way of transportation in the universe of Star Citizen. Thanks to them, your friends, the NPCs and you can travel between stars and planets. They let you participate in special missions and Persistent Universe according to the ship you are using. 

There are more than one hundred different starships in this game. Some of them are developed versions of a base design, and others are unique models. Since Star Citizen is still in development, you can find from small starter ships to fighting ships with dozens of functions and components. 

Starships in SC are really alive. They have many moves and articulated limbs, with which you can mine and farm in unknown planets. In addition, the ship pricing will eventually vary based on location, supply and demand.

 

Purchasing or Renting Ships: What Is Better? 

Purchasing a ship in Star Citizen

Cloud Imperium Games Group offers more than one hundred space ships for a pledge cost. Buying them helps fund the development of the alpha project. These ships are available in-game and particular ones are rarer than others. 

At the same time, players can rent ships in exchange for in-game currency with a rental period of either 1, 3, 7 days or one month. There is a whole mess of factors which determine the prices of the ships. Among others, the rental prices depend on the quality and size of the ship 

Purchasing is pretty much better, as long as you are sure of what you want to do within the game. At first, the rent cost could be cheaper than the purchases cost. In the long run, however, it tends to be much more expensive.

 

Starships Sizes

There are 6 sizes of ships in the universe of Star Citizen. Each of these sizes has its own functionality and use. Below there is a little chart with the 6 sizes, a brief description, and some examples.

Ship size 

Description Example

Vehicle 

Ground vehicles. Vehicle goes from simple 

● Lynx 

personal transport, passing through rovers, 

● Ursa 

such as the Ursa and Lynx, to large vehicles 

for exploration by a single player or a small 

● Cyclone 

group. 

● PTV

Snub 

Small 

Snub is a parasite craft which depends on 

● Dragonfly 

other bigger ships. It is perfect for work in

● 85X 

● Archimedes

● Razor 

Quantum capability. They can be operated by 

● Terrapin 

one single pilot, but are not exclusive to a 

single crew member. Perfect for landing

  • Hull-E ● Endeavor ● Orion 
  • Polaris 

* In the universe of Star Citizen, Ground Vehicles are used to explore the fields of different planets. As the purpose of this article is the ships, we believe Ground Vehicles are the topic of another article.

Summary 

As an almost perfect Space Sim MMO (even if it is in the open development alpha project), Star Citizen is an interesting exercise of design created in the StarEngine (a modified Lumberyard Engine) by CIG. The in-game economy is highly real. Currencies such as UEC bang, REC, aUEC, etc. are really important to trade many types of items. In addition, the game offers a lot of activities and a huge scale, many details, and a lot of fun. 

Regarding shipping prices, we think there is a balanced correlation between these and the quality of the game players will receive. The base model is that you receive a reward for helping the development of the game. 

Since the Evocati Test Flight, Star Citizen has surprised the community by sharing information and showing the final goal where they want to go. The Lore of this game is an amazing aspect, with thousands of details, great actors and a universe full of life. 

We believe we have touched the most important points of the topic. Follow our relevant tips to avoid making any mistakes.
