Compare Star Citizen starter packs

Start with a package that includes Star Citizen Digital Download. A standalone ship does not provide game access. If you are undecided about a role, compare the least expensive suitable game-access packages before spending more on a specialised ship.

Seven tracked packages and their dated prices

These are source-dated quotes, not a promise of today's checkout price. A recent successfully checked offer can appear in the table; otherwise it shows a dated list price. Confirm currency, tax, contents and availability at RSI before paying.

The recorded lineup is a comparison, not proof that every package or former promotion is available today. Read the current product's insurance, currency and extras; those contents can change.

Which first ship fits the way you intend to play?

• Citizen, RSI Aurora Mk II: Start with a modest general-purpose package when you have not chosen a role.
• Generalist, Drake Cutter: Consider a compact all-rounder when delivery and a small interior appeal to you.
• Salvager, RSI Salvation: A specialised option for someone who already wants salvage gameplay.
• Miner, Drake Golem: A role package for someone who wants to begin with mining.
• Duelist, Aegis Avenger Titan: Compare its cargo space and combat role if you already want more than the entry package.
• Hauler, Crusader Intrepid: An option for a new pilot interested in small cargo and courier work.
• Privateer, Drake Cutlass Black: Consider it for cargo, combat and playing with a small crew; a larger pledge is optional.

For the reasoning behind a modest first purchase, read which starter pack to choose as a new player. You can also use the existing starter pack finder. These are buying considerations, not hands-on performance benchmarks.

Keep referral currency separate from the purchase

Any valid player referral offers the same standard 50,000 account UEC benefit. Spending more on a package does not increase that standard bonus. Package UEC is not a promise about your alpha starting wallet.
