A massive C Class ship exclusive to Stroud-Eklund and given to you by Stroud during the Overdesigned Mission. Due to its size, the Kepler R features a massive 3550 Cargo Capacity and comes with 2800 Fuel, enough for even the longest journeys. As this is a C Class ship, you’ll need to ensure you’ve upgraded the Piloting skill so you can actually fly it. The Kepler R is exclusive to a single playthrough, you must choose between it and the Kepler S (a B Class ship).

• This ship is a reward from the Overdesigned Mission, which is not available until after you’ve completed the A High Price to Pay Main Mission (you may need to progress the story a little more following the events here so that Walter Stroud is approachable again). This will eventually lead you to the Stroud-Eklund Staryard where the Mission will begin, this is one of two possible ships you can choose as a reward.

The Kepler S is a Mission Reward from the Overdesigned Mission. Like the Kepler R, you must choose between that or this ship only, once per playthrough, as both are exclusive to this Mission. Unlike the R, which is a C Class ship, the Kepler S is a B Class ship which means you won’t need to raise your Piloting skill as high to be able to fly it. You’ll find less Hull on the S but it still boasts a massive 3200 Cargo Capacity. It does, however, lack any weapons equipped to the ship at all so be sure to add some to it if you take it out for a spin.

B

The Trebuchet is a large A Class ship that comes equipped with a reactor of 20, one of the higher ones for an A Class ship. It does, however, lack in Cargo Capacity, featuring only 200 so if you use your ship to store a lot of your items, you may wish to stay away from the Trebuchet. Still, it comes equipped three types of weapons (Particle, Ballistics, and Missiles) which make this a decent combat ship from the get-go.

• Purchased at the Stroud-Eklund Staryard near Deepala at the Narion System for 142,606 Credits.

A

The Conquerer is a massive B Class ship that can be purchased at the Stroud-Eklund Staryard. Due to the large mass of this ship, it houses a crew of 6 and, perhaps more importantly, features a massive Cargo Capacity of 2240, making it perfect for when you want to fly the galaxy and hoard as many resources as you can. It also comes equipped with powerful Missiles from the get-go along with Missiles and Ballistics, just bear in mind you’ll have to upgrade your Piloting skill to be able to fly it.

• Purchased at the Stroud-Eklund Staryard near Deepala at the Narion System for 258,823 Credits.

B

The Crimson Fleet Haunt is an exclusive ship to The Key, the location of where the Crimson Fleet Faction’s base is setup. As such, you’ll need to be in a position to join them or at least friendly to approach without getting shot down. The Haunt itself is an A Class ship that focuses more on getting around quicker as it only has a Cargo Capacity of 390 and the weapons it comes equipped with aren’t anything to write home about. The design is slick, at least, if you want the Ship as you work on the Crimson Fleet questline and it does come with 190 Shielded Capacity meaning you can use this to smuggle contraband if need be.

• Purchase at The Key spacestation in the Kryx system for 70,902 Credits. You must be allied with the Crimson Fleet to dock at the spacestation.

A

The Crimson Fleet Ghost is an exclusive ship that can only be purchased at The Key, the spacestation belonging to the Crimson Fleet faction. For this reason, you must be allied with them if you wish to dock and purchase it. The ship itself is a rather unremarkable A Class ship that offers little for any serious pilot and is the weakest of the three ships you can purchase at The Key. You’ll only get a Cargo Capacity of 200, a measly 50 Fuel and rather basic weapons attached to it at the time of purchase. At least with the Haunt, you’re getting Shielded Capacity to make up for it’s rather lackluster stats but the Ghost doesn’t offer you that small boon either.

• Purchase at The Key spacestation in the Kryx system for 41,160 Credits. You must be allied with the Crimson Fleet to dock at the spacestation.

A

The Crimson Fleet Phantom is an exclusive ship available to purchase at The Key, the spacestation belonging to the Crimson Fleet faction. As such, you’ll need to ensure you’re allied with the fleet in order to dock there and access the wares on offer. The ship itself is an A Class ship and much like the other two available for here, nothing to write home about. It is at least comparable to the Haunt (the Ghost is by far the worst of the three) offering similar Cargo Capacity (390) and weapons on offer. It also offers you 190 Shielded Capacity, much like the Haunt and probably the main draw of these ships but considering the Razorleaf (Mantis) ship isn’t too difficult to get hold of early in the game, it makes these ships much less appealing.

• Purchase at The Key spacestation in the Kryx system for 68,819 Credits. You must be allied with the Crimson Fleet to dock at the spacestation.

A

The Wagontrain is a B Class ship that can be purchased at the Akila City Spaceport. Its greatest asset is its large Cargo Capacity, sitting at 3355 but it lacks in the way of equipped weapons and its Reactor offering only 16 power is a bit of a letdown for a B Class ship (indeed there are A Class ships that offer more power). With this being a B Class ship, you’ll need to ensure you’ve upgraded the Piloting skill enough to be able to fly it.

• Available to purchase at the Akila City Spaceport for 190,104 Credits.

B

The Pik Up II is a higher tier version of the Pik Up ship, and can be found at the Akila City Spaceport once your level is high enough (15+). The Pik Up II is still an A Class ship, but its Reactor is improved and it still features all of the boons from the original Pik Up, such as a decent assortment of weapons equipped straight out of the factory, with Missiles being the stand-out.

• Available to purchase at the Akila City Spaceport for 161,276 Credits.

A

The Pterosaur II is a higher tier version of the Pterosaur, found at the Akila City Spaceport. You’ll need to level up high enough to find this ship (15+) and you can expect a slight upgrade across the board of the Pterosaur, featuring slightly higher Hull, Reactor, Jump, Shield and all of the equipped weapons. As such, the Missiles this ship comes with now packs a punch, and the ship itself will remain a B Class ship, meaning you’ll still need to upgrade that Piloting Skill should you wish to fly it.

• Available to purchase at the Akila City Spaceport for 170,175 Credits.

B

The Vindicator is a powerful C Class ship that can be purchased at the Akila City Spaceport. The Vindicator only has a modest Cargo Capacity (700) considering the Mass of the ship, but it does house 6 Crew members and both the Lasers and Ballistics it comes equipped with are more than servable. With this being a C Class ship, you’ll need to invest in the Piloting skill should you wish to fly it.

• Available to purchase at the Akila City Spaceport for 255,387 Credits.

C

The Carry All is a massive B Class ship that you can find at the Cydonia Spaceport. As you may expect of such a massive ship, it comes with a large Cargo Capacity of 3440 making it ideal as a base to store all your resources. You can also assign five Crew members to the ship but as a sacrifice, it comes with some basic weapons and the Reactor is not the greatest for a B Class ship. As always, ensure you meet the Piloting skill requirement to be able to fly this ship.

• Available to purchase at the Cydonia Spaceport for 170,980 Credits.

B

The Vanquisher is a massive C Class ship that can be purchased at the Cydonia Spaceport. As you may expect from such a large ship, the Vanquisher comes with one of the largest Cargo Capacity in the game, sitting at a whopping 4120! You’ll also be able to assign six Crew to the ship, and it comes equipped with some powerful weapons, the Missiles especially, being a real boon. This ship will set you back a lot of Credits and with it being a C Class ship, you’ll need to invest in the Piloting skill but it is one of the better C Class ships you can buy.

• Available to purchase at the Cydonia Spaceport for 335,655 Credits.

C

The Starhawk is a B Class ship that can be purchased at Cydonia’s Spaceport. It’s a rather large ship and with that comes a decent sized Cargo Capacity at 2810, it also comes with three different types of weapons equipped right out of the factory, with the Missiles being the star of the show. As this is a B Class ship, you’ll need to upgrade the Piloting skill to be able to fly it.

• Available to purchase at the Cydonia Spaceport for 190,104 Credits.

B

The Star Eagle is an A Class ship you can only obtain from complete the entirety of the Freestar Rangers Questline. Once you complete the final Quest, The Hammer Falls, you’ll obtain this ship alongside other goodies as a reward. The biggest boon for this ship is that it’s an A Class ship, so you don’t need to increase your Piloting skill to fly it. It comes with a large Cargo Capacity of 2280, a powerful Reactor and Missiles that will put a dent in even the strongest enemy ships.

• Reward for completing the Freestar Rangers Faction Questline.

A

The Gladius II is an A Class ship found at the Deimos Staryard and is the higher tier version of the Glaidus. As such, you’ll need to increase your Level (15+) before this becomes available for purchase. As with most ships that are a higher rank, it features most of the same features as the Gladius with slight upgrades in most stats.

• Available to purchase at the Deimos Staryard for 92,616 Credits.

A

The Slipstream is a B Class ship that can be purchased at the Gagarin Landing Spaceport. As far as B Class ships go, the Slipstream is a little underwhelming, featuring a tiny Cargo Capacity of just 340 and a Hull of 340. It can house four Crew members at least, which is a step up from the Frontier you start with, but nothing to go out and buy it. Additionally, as this is a B Class ship, you’ll need to ensure you’ve upgraded the Piloting skill in order to fly it.

• Available to purchase at the Gagarin Landing Spaceport for 166,383 Credits.

B

The Hoplite II is a B Class ship that can be purchased at the Gagarin Landing Spaceport. As with most ships that are a higher tier, the Hoplite II features the same characteristics as its predecessor with a slight boost to the stats across the board. So that means you can expect a ship with a decent Reactor offering 21 power and moderate Shields for 610, just don’t expect to use it for it’s tiny Cargo Capacity (200). As a B Class ship, you’ll still need to make sure you’ve upgraded the Piloting skill to be able to fly it.

• Available to purchase at the Gagarin Landing Spaceport for 172,863 Credits.

B

The Rambler II is an A Class ship that can be purchased at the Gagarin Landing Spaceport. As with most ships that are a higher tier, the Rambler II features the same characteristics as its predecessor with a slight boost to the stats across the board.

• Available to purchase at the Gagarin Landing Spaceport for 94,614 Credits.

A

The Achilles II is an A Class ship that can be purchased at the Gagarin Landing Spaceport. As with most ships that are a higher tier, the Achilles II features the same characteristics as its predecessor with a slight boost to the stats across the board. So that means you can expect a ship with a decent Reactor offering 20 power, which is on the higher end for A Class Reactors and a modest Cargo Capacity offering 445, not bad for a ship with a smaller mass.

• Available to purchase at the Gagarin Landing Spaceport for 94,875 Credits.

A

The Thresher II is an A Class ship that can be purchased at the Gagarin Landing Spaceport. As with most ships that are a higher tier, the Thresher II features the same characteristics as its predecessor with a slight boost to the stats across the board.

• Available to purchase at the Gagarin Landing Spaceport for 92,522 Credits.

• Available to purchase at the Gagarin Landing Spaceport for 136,530 Credits.

A

The Big Rig is a B Class ship that can be purchased at Gagarin Landing. This is a massive ship, with a mass of 1048 and as such, features a massive Cargo Capacity of 1940, perfect for any long hauls you may have planned. It does, unfortunately, suffer for it with a rather weak Reactor, only offering 16 which is on the low end for a B Class ship. Due to it being a B Class, you’ll need to make sure you’ve put enough points into the Piloting Skill so that you can fly it.

• Available to purchase at the Gagarin Landing Spaceport for 181,558 Credits.

B

The Starborn Guardian is an exclusive ship you’ll obtain at the start of a New Game+, there is no other way to obtain this ship. Despite this requirement, the ship itself is nothing special, and you can easily replace it with a better ship. As an A Class ship, you won’t need to invest in the Piloting skill to fly it, it’s specialty comes from it’s exclusive weapons that it comes equipped with.

• Obtained at the start of a New Game+ cycle.
