TL;DR: You don’t need a huge budget to play. CIG is releasing two games: Star Citizen (MMO) and Squadron 42 (single-player). Just pay $45 for the MMO and an extra $15 for the single-player game. See the links for details.
Recommended: Mustang Alpha is fun to fly as a ship but less versatile. It’s more valuable in value.
Starter packages cost around $45 and include ships, hangars, and more. You can upgrade later if you want.
Insurance lasts about 3 months and helps recover lost ships. You can buy it in-game or at LTI.
Upgrade paths: Aurora → LN → Avenger Titan → etc., or Mustang → Beta → Titan. Ship-lust is strong, but don’t worry about losing your package.
Common ship traits are listed, though some are still coming.
Additional info: Some ships have extra perks (hangars, OSTs) and are available in the mini-game.
Glossary: Star Citizen = large MMO with a persistent universe; Squadron 42 = standalone single-player game; insurance = protection for your ship.
The top vessel is the one that stands out for its excellence.
