Fleet Commander Achievement

Unlocking the Fleet Commander Achievement

To unlock the Fleet Command achievement you need to acquire 10 spaceships. The good news is you don’t have to own all 10 simultaneously, and even sold or stolen ships count towards your total.

Starting Your Collection

From the story and four Faction Questlines, you will automatically acquire three ships:

1. Frontier: Your starting ship from the story.
2. Star Eagle: A reward from completing the Freestar Collective questline.
3. UC Prison Shuttle: Unlocked during the Crimson Fleet questline.

You will likely buy a fourth ship during the storyline, because you will need a ship with a 21 Lightyears Jump Distance to complete a story objective, and none of the above ships meet that requirement.

Purchasing Additional Spaceships

After securing quest-related ships, you'll need to acquire an additional six to seven ships.

Use the approximately 1,000,000 Credits earned from the Story and Faction Questlines to buy more ships from Ship Service Merchants located at the landing pads of all major cities.

Opt for the most affordable ones, priced around 100,000 credits each, to ensure you can purchase the number you need.

Quick Steps to Unlock the Achievement:

1. Complete the Story and Faction Questlines: Automatically add up to four ships to your collection.
2. Create a Manual Save: Before purchasing additional ships.
3. Buy Ships from Ship Service Merchants: Until the Fleet Achievement unlocks.
4. Reload the Manual Save: Retrieve your spent credits.

Selling or Stealing Spaceships

Feel free to sell ships you no longer want to Ship Service Technicians, who will offer 20% of the original purchase price. Remember, sold ships still contribute to your 10-ship total.

In case of a cash crunch, stealing ships is a valid option. Unregistered stolen ships count towards the achievement, providing an alternative method for completing your collection.
