Pre-Built Ships

A Pre-Built Ship is a package which includes instant-access to a pre-fitted ship, a ship kit, and a paintjob. It's themed to match an in-game activity. The purpose is to provide new and casual players with a solid start of their career without requiring to build ships from scratch. This benefits players, because unlocking modules, outfitting and engineering ships is a complicated and time consuming grind.

Outfitting

The Pre-Built Ships (PBS) are fully outfitted. You can replace the weapons, optional internals, core internals and the utility mounts, However, you cannot take the modules of a Pre-Built Ship and swap them with other ships. The included free modules cannot be stored. If you buy a replacement module then you can swap that one for e.g. an engineered module. Some PBS come with engineered and guardian modules.

Benefits

Pre-built Ships cost ARX. They have average specs for a viable start so there is no pay-to-win in this regard. Anyone can purchase and engineer any ship for free and change it with better specs than a Pre-built Ship.

An advantage is that PBS have 0 rebuy cost unless you customize the loadout. If the PBS is destroyed, you will receive all equipment as normal. The insurance cost is free for the components that are included with the PBS loadout. If you sell the ship, you can redeploy it later as the original PBS edition. So you cannot lose a pre-built ship if you have insufficient credits, but it's not hard to earn enough credits. PBS are instantly deployable at places with a shipyard, and Fleet Carriers. PBS lack maintenance costs.
