Ships

Over 120 individual designs of ships (also known as spaceships) will exist in the Star Atlas metaverse. These ships are being constructed by at least 9 different manufactures.

The ships are used by players and NPC’s to explore the deep reaches of space, transport precious materials, run missions, perform in combat, and many other activities. Each ship has components and modules that can be switched and upgraded, and additionally requires crew to operate.

Additionally there are skins that can be applied to a ship to change its appearance.

Purchasing ships
Ships are both sold by the company to help fund the development of Star Atlas, and by players reselling ships they bought previously. In the future players will be able to construct their own ships and sell them on the Galactic Marketplace.

Ships, components, crew and skins are all NFT’s.

To purchase a ship, see the [| Galactic Marketplace].

Renting ships
Players will be able to rent out ships to other players in the future, in a way that allows the borrower to set game-related restrictions. It’s not yet clear what these might be, except that it will be possible to restrict access to the High Risk Zone (deep space).

Production state
The full 3D Unreal Engine 5 version of Star Atlas is currently in development and not yet playable. Meanwhile the "mini-game" will be launching with a limited number of ships. More ships are expected to be added over time.

Progress on the development of the different ships varies, the following categories are used on this wiki to describe their current state:


 * Announced - Mentioned by the developers, no work has yet been performed
 * In Concept - Concept art was shared
 * Active Production - Development & designers are busy getting the ship ready for insertion into the game
 * Showroom ready - Ship can be seen in the 3D Showroom module
 * For sale - Development is done, the ship is flight ready and can be purchased
