Quick answer
Scope
This page is only about the ship choice. If you also need help with game packages, pricing, or the buying flow, use Starter packs.
Answer
Choose the ship that makes your first sessions easier, then stop there. If you also need help with package, pricing, or checkout, use the full starter-packs guide instead.
- Pick the ship that makes your start easier, not the one that just sounds coolest on paper.
- Choose for your first sessions, not for some future dream fleet you may never need.
- If you are unsure, take the simple option first. You can always upgrade later if you keep playing.
- If you still are not sure, try Free Fly first and buy the smallest starter package later.
Do this now
- Pick how you want to start: delivery and exploring, combat, or a bit of everything.
- Keep it easy at first: simple handling and simple missions beat fancy specs on day one.
- Buy the smallest starter package that fits — no extra ships yet.
- Play a few sessions before you spend more money.
- Use the referral code during signup if you are creating a brand-new account (optional bonus).
Common mistakes (and exact fixes)
| Mistake | What happens | Fix (exact) |
|---|---|---|
| Buying based on hype | You get a ship that does not really fit how you will start. | Buy for your first sessions and easy missions. |
| Spending beyond minimum early | You spend before you know what you actually enjoy. | Start small; upgrade later if you keep playing. |
| Ignoring performance realities | You buy then struggle with FPS. | Run the performance checklist before judging. |
Next steps
- Open the full starter-packs guide — best next step if you need the complete package recommendation, not just the ship choice.
- Use the reality check if you are still unsure whether to spend money at all.
- Use the buying guide once you know what you want and just need the clean checkout path.
