All commanders begin the game with a [[Sidewinder]]. The player may upgrade components or purchase an entirely new ship based upon their needs. New ships can only be purchased at [[station|Stations]] with the [[Shipyard]] service and modules can only be changed or upgrades at stations with the [[Outfitting]] service.

===Multi-purpose===

Multi-purpose ships are a jack-of-all-trades in that they can easily be fitted for whatever role the player needs; whether it be hauling cargo, ~~shooting ships~~, or exploring the [[stars]] ~~the~~ multi-purpose ~~ship~~ can do it all.

===Combat===

Combat ships are typically faster, more agile and heavily armed than other ships of the same size. The exception to this would be gun boats, which have more weapon mounts designed for turrets, but sacrifice their agility for them.

===Explorer===

Exploration ships typically come with large default jump ranges, large [[Fuel Tank]]s for ships of their size, and lots of low class [[Internal Compartment]]s for [[Discovery Scanner|scanners]]. These ships are designed to be able to equip the multitude of scanning equipment needed for an expedition, then fly long distances into the void without the need for regular ~~refuelling~~.

Exploration ships typically come with large default jump ranges, large [[Fuel Tank]]s for ships of their size, and should be fitted with lots of low class [[Internal Compartment]]s for [[Discovery Scanner|scanners]] to optimize jump distance. These ships are designed to be able to equip the multitude of scanning equipment needed for an expedition, then fly long distances into the void without the need for regular refueling through the use of [http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Fuel_Scoop fuel scoops].

===Passenger===

Couriers who fly passengers and valuable items with small storage requirements have a special class of ships available to them. These ships are elegant and fast, designed to quickly and comfortably get from one system to the next. You can think of them as giant limousines ~~for space~~. However, as of now, passenger ships have no significant use in the game as passengers themselves have yet to be implemented.
