Any decent ship vendor?

Alota these pirate ships I'm looking at The Key look...uninspiring.

None of the ships you buy will compare to what you can build.

Keep in mind that the available ships for sale is also partially RNG. You don't see "everything" they might offer in just a single visit.

[SpudNoggin]

The ships that are worth buying are the ones with reactors larger than you can get a la carte due to a la carte being severely restricted at lower player levels.

War Horse, A28, New Atlantis, Neon, Titan
Shieldbreaker, B27, New Atlantis
Silent Runner, C34, Hope Tech showroom
Narwhal, C36, Taiyo showroom

prebuilt ships are awful by and large. I recommend just hijacking a ship so you have a ship slot and starter kit, then building it from the ground up. Otherwise run a tour... ships sold at mars/demios, neon (2 vendors), etc.

[Langkard]

Build your own. Then you only have yourself to blame for how it looks. Usually also cheaper.

Do the Freestar Collective quest and get the best ship that will cost you nothing ( not even a registration fee ) and you can then slowly upgrade it to your heart's content.

I have upgraded it so it has 7 weapons, plus two turrets, 7200 cargo, 2650 shields and I moved the captain's quarters so it is on the same level as the rest of the habs. Can hold a crew of 9. I see no need to get any other ship.

Go find that Mantis ship. It's about where you're at.

Just finish ranger quest, grab the star eagle, and live with it

I rebuild the Frontier at Deimos shipyard. Costs about 500,000 but its invincible.

Get the Stronghold at Akila then go to deimos and put ballistic and em turrets with the longest range possible and the best missiles they have. I flew to they Key without having the quest, so they all came at me and those long range turrets ate them up. I did use a few ship parts to hold things together, but i won. Pricey ship and upgrades.
