Buy Star Citizen Ships

Buy Star Citizen ships for combat, cargo hauling, mining, salvage, exploration, racing, medical support and other gameplay roles. Browse available ships and vehicles from major manufacturers and compare the exact acquisition and delivery method before ordering.

Our catalog can include RSI pledge ships, gift-eligible pledges with Lifetime Insurance where specified, special Wikelo ships and other vessels obtained through supported in-game acquisition paths.

Every listing is different. Always check the individual product page for the exact ship, variant, insurance, pledge configuration, included items and delivery method.

Star Citizen Ships for Sale

Star Citizen ships can come from several completely different acquisition systems. A ship delivered as an RSI pledge is not the same product as a ship earned through an in-game contract or collection system.

RSI Pledge Ships

RSI pledge ships are ships or vehicles contained within eligible pledges on the Roberts Space Industries website. When a pledge is eligible for gifting, it can be transferred to another RSI account through the official RSI Gift system.

The exact pledge matters. A listing may contain a Standalone Ship, a Game Package or a ship created through one or more Cross-Chassis Upgrades.

• Standalone Ship: A pledge containing a ship or vehicle without necessarily including game access.
• Game Package: A package that can include a ship together with Star Citizen game access and other listed contents.
• CCU Ship: A pledge whose original ship was transformed through one or more Cross-Chassis Upgrades.

Do not assume that two listings for the same final ship are identical. Insurance, melt value, included items and pledge history can differ.

How RSI Ship Gifting Works

Eligible pledge ships can be transferred using RSI's built-in gifting system. The sender enters the recipient information, sends the gift and the recipient accepts it on their own RSI account.

RSI applies restrictions to gifting, so not every pledge is giftable. Eligibility can depend on how the pledge was purchased, whether it has previously been gifted, its value and whether it originated from a special promotion or reward.

For this reason, only ships specifically offered as gift-eligible RSI pledges should be treated as normal RSI Gift products.

RSI Gift Eligibility

Before buying an RSI pledge ship, check the individual listing for gift eligibility.

ExpCarry product listings should therefore describe the actual pledge being delivered rather than suggesting that every Star Citizen ship can be gifted.

Star Citizen Ships with Lifetime Insurance

Some pledge listings include Lifetime Insurance (LTI). When LTI is included, it is attached to that specific qualifying pledge and is shown on the product page.

LTI is a long-term insurance attribute. It means the qualifying ship insurance coverage does not require recurring UEC payments simply to keep that coverage active after normal pledge insurance becomes relevant.

LTI does not make every future ship-related expense free. Insurance claims, repairs and other costs can still apply.

Never assume that a ship includes LTI unless the exact listing explicitly states it.

Standard Insurance vs LTI

During Star Citizen's testing environment, basic ship insurance operates differently from the long-term insurance system planned for the released game. Insurance should therefore be compared as a pledge attribute rather than treated as the only reason to select a ship.

Wikelo Ships

Wikelo ships are special in-game rewards associated with Wikelo's collection and barter contracts. These can include modified versions of existing ships and vehicles with distinctive liveries, equipment or configurations.

Wikelo ships are fundamentally different from RSI pledge ships. They are tied to in-game progression and specific contract requirements rather than the normal RSI Gift system.

• Individual contracts require specific collections of items and materials.
• Different ships can require very different combinations of resources.
• Special variants may use different equipment or visual configurations from the standard ship.
• Contract requirements can change as Star Citizen develops.

For current Wikelo progression and material information, see our Star Citizen Wikelo Ships Guide.

RSI Pledge Ships vs Wikelo Ships

Star Citizen Ships by Gameplay Role

The right ship depends more on your intended gameplay than on price or size alone. Star Citizen includes ships and vehicles designed for highly specialized roles as well as flexible multi-purpose platforms.

Combat Ships

Combat ships include light and heavy fighters, interceptors, bombers, gunships and larger military-oriented vessels. Consider crew requirements, weapon configuration and intended engagement style before choosing.

Cargo and Transport Ships

Cargo vessels prioritize freight capacity and logistics. Some are intended for smaller solo cargo runs, while larger haulers are more suitable for high-volume operations or multicrew gameplay.

Mining Ships

Dedicated mining ships provide equipment for locating, fracturing and extracting mineable deposits. Different platforms suit solo pilots and multicrew industrial operations.

If you need the materials rather than the mining vessel itself, browse our Star Citizen Mining Resources.

Salvage Ships

Salvage vessels are built around recovering useful material from ships and wrecks. Their role and workflow differ from conventional mining ships.

Exploration Ships

Exploration-focused ships emphasize range, scanning, onboard facilities or other features useful for extended travel and discovery.

Medical and Support Ships

Support ships can provide medical, repair, refueling or other specialized fleet functions depending on the vessel.

Multi-Purpose Ships

Multi-purpose ships trade specialization for flexibility and can often handle several types of contracts or activities with the same hull.

Solo vs Multicrew Ships

Crew requirements are an important part of ship selection. A larger ship is not automatically a better choice for a solo player.

Smaller ships generally require fewer players to operate effectively, while larger multicrew vessels can benefit from dedicated pilots, turret gunners, engineers, cargo operators or other crew roles.

Check the individual ship's intended crew size and gameplay role before ordering.

Flight-Ready and Concept Ships

Not every RSI pledge ship is necessarily available to fly immediately. Some ships may still be in development.

When a pledged ship is not yet flight-ready, RSI can provide temporary loaner ships according to its current loaner system. If this matters to your purchase, check the exact development status and applicable loaner before ordering.

Original Pledge vs CCU Ship

A ship reached through Cross-Chassis Upgrades can have a different pledge history from a standalone version of the same vessel.

A CCU changes the ship associated with a pledge while other package attributes can remain attached to the original pledge. Insurance can also depend on the underlying pledge and upgrades used.

For collectors and buyers comparing several offers for the same hull, this is why the complete listing matters.

How to Choose a Star Citizen Ship

1. Choose your gameplay role: Combat, cargo, mining, salvage, exploration, support or multi-purpose.
2. Check crew requirements: Decide whether the ship fits solo or multicrew gameplay.
3. Check acquisition type: RSI pledge, Wikelo reward or another supported in-game route.
4. Review the exact variant: Similar hulls can have different equipment and roles.
5. Check pledge details: For RSI ships, confirm insurance, LTI, CCU history and gift eligibility.
6. Review delivery: Make sure the listing's delivery method matches the product you are buying.

How RSI Pledge Ship Delivery Works

1. Select the ship: Choose the exact pledge listing and review all included contents.
2. Provide your RSI account email: The gift must be sent to the email associated with the receiving RSI account.
3. Gift is sent: The eligible pledge is transferred through the RSI Gift system.
4. Accept the gift: Open the RSI gift notification while logged into the correct account.
5. Check My Hangar: Confirm that the pledge and its listed contents appear correctly.

Your RSI password is not required to receive a normal RSI Gift.

How In-Game Ship Delivery Works

Ships obtained through Wikelo or other in-game methods use a different process. The exact delivery or completion method depends on the individual product and the acquisition system associated with that vessel.

Always use the specific product page for the applicable requirements rather than assuming that every ship is delivered through RSI gifting.
