'''Ships''' are the central feature of [[Elite Dangerous]], and are used to traverse space and perform a variety of different tasks. There are a variety of designs to suit various roles. Many ships were inspired by the classic wireframe and polygonal models of previous [[:Category:Elite series|Elite games]].

Each ship has access to a range of different modules which they can fit to help specialize as [[Trader|traders]], [[Smuggler|smugglers]], [[Bounty Hunter|bounty hunters]], [[Pirate|pirates]], etc. All ships have been designed with the [[Ship Interiors|ship interiors]] in mind and for future gameplay opportunities.
Currently, there are 36 playable ships and 6 playable fighters, each built by one of several manufacturers with their own unique styles. Initially, there was a planned total of 30 playable ships with multiple variants in addition to some non-playable ships.
All commanders begin the game with a [[Sidewinder MkI]]. The player may upgrade components or purchase an entirely new ship based upon their needs and available funds. New ships can only be purchased at [[Station]]s; [[Shipyard]] service and modules can only be changed or upgraded at stations with the [[Outfitting]] service.
People can join other ships as a [[hologram]] with [[multicrew]]. Nearly all ships and [[station]]s are standard fitted with the [[GalNet]] system for market information, galactic news and communication.<ref>Newsletter #22 http://us2.campaign-archive1.com/?u=dcbf6b86b4b0c7d1c21b73b1e&id=f72c0f91b2</ref><ref>Tourist Beacon 0249</ref>
