Star Citizen Aurora Mk II
The cheapest way into Star Citizen, and a tidier ship than its price suggests.
The RSI Aurora Mk II is the ship inside the Citizen Starter Pack, the cheapest Game Package at $45 (regularly $60). It is a compact starter with a bed, basic weapons and a little cargo space, built to get you flying without spending much.
The role
It is a no-frills entry ship: fly, do starter missions, haul a small amount of cargo, and earn your way up. Nobody keeps an Aurora forever, but as a first ship it does exactly what a starter should and keeps your entry cost as low as possible.
