Which ship is the best? Which ship should I buy?

This is an often asked question and very difficult to answer. In general, you have to know what you want to do in the game (transport, mining, combat) and then you look for a suitable ship at the price point you want. There are no “Best” overall ships but in general the “better” ships are more expensive and they also tend to require more crew. You can “rent” ships in game, which is recommended to get a full picture of the ship you want before you purchase.
