For this budget, Aurora stands out as the best choice. As long as you avoid racer/speed variants, any ship will serve well as a solid mercantile vessel. However, Game Packages are pricier than individual ships—only three viable paths remain: Arena Commander Starter Mustang Alpha Aurora LX plus other more affordable Aurora models. All of these together cost around 45$. If you opt for 60$, the Aurora CL is the most affordable mercantile option available. A tip: Check the ship links and visit the Ship Stats page to review cargo capacity. If a model lacks sufficient space or is too small, consider one with greater cargo for better merchant performance.
The Mustang Alpha is decent with its cargo, while the Aurora falls short. If you're okay spending extra for the CL, it offers significantly more space. However, you can always opt for a cheaper purchase and hold off until the game launches to upgrade to a better ship in the public domain.
