Awesome paint job options? The game has them.

Presently, there is a total of seventeen pilotable ships in Elite Dangerous. The ships range from the glorified space-junk that is the Sidewinder, to the “might as well be a capital ship” Anaconda.

The ships vary as much in terms of power in power as they do in price. My Cobra could generously be called a “mid-tier” ship, but I’ve had a few exceptionally-skilled Eagle pilots take more than a few coats of paint off.

The less expensive ships in Elite Dangerous are most certainly lower on the cosmic food chain, but skilled pilots who know how to properly outfit their ships can turn even the most modest rust bucket into an indomitable killing machine by exploiting the advantages these ships have over the big boys: usually speed and maneuverability.

Part of the galaxy map. A small part.
