No Man's Sky: Overview of spaceship types

In order to travel the universe in No Man's Sky, you need a spaceship. In this overview we introduce you to the different types of spaceships.

Spaceship type: The Explorer

Discovery spaceships in No Man's Sky are ideally suited to travel and explore a wide variety of galaxies.

• The improved hyperdrive and upgraded scanner are typical of such ships. This makes exploring flights to distant places in the universe child's play.
• If you prefer to avoid fighting and want to invest your units in exploring, this spaceship type suits you best.

Spaceship type: The dealer

This spaceship is best suited to transport items and resources because it is designed to travel on trade routes.

• The large storage space with numerous inventory spaces makes it easier for you to take as much material with you as possible.
• The more you can store, the more you can then sell to get to many units.
• Note, however, that such a spaceship stands out. Space pirates in particular are quickly attracted to the battle. Therefore, pay attention to good health or upgraded shields.

Spaceship type: The hunter

If you like to plunge into battles and get the loot from defeated ships, this type of spaceship is for you.

• Hunters / battleships feature the improved weapons and raised shields. The thrusters and the impulse drive are also upgraded to be maneuverable in combat.
• With this ship, you can safely engage in battles with space pirates and pursue a warlike strategy.
• Because the ships are so agile and can take hits, they also have an advantage over the Sentinel drones.
