Star Citizen Nomad
The rugged, affordable do-a-bit-of-everything ship.
The Consolidated Outland Nomad is a charming, rugged little ship: affordable, sturdy, with a decent open cargo bed and the ability to dabble in cargo, light combat and exploration.
What it is
A no-nonsense ship that punches above its modest cost. It carries cargo, holds its own, and is a genuinely capable early ship rather than just a placeholder.
Who it is for
New-ish players who want one cheap, dependable ship that does a bit of everything while they find their feet. A great early upgrade target.
How a new player gets one
You do not start with a ship like this, and you do not need to pay hundreds of real dollars for it. You earn it in-game with UEC, or rent it to try, once you have built up some money by playing. The smart start is the cheapest Game Package, the Citizen Starter Pack at $45, plus 50,000 UEC from referral code STAR-JTV7-FXLR to kit out your character. Then work your way up. How ship prices really work.

Frequently asked questions
How do you get the Nomad in Star Citizen?
You earn it in-game with UEC by playing, or rent it to try, or pledge real money (optional). New players should start with the Citizen Starter Pack at $45 plus 50,000 UEC via code STAR-JTV7-FXLR, then work up to bigger ships in-game.
Do you need to buy the Nomad with real money?
No. Like every ship, the Nomad can be earned or rented in-game with UEC. Real-money pledges are optional. Start cheap with a Starter Pack and the 50,000 UEC bonus.
Is the Nomad good for beginners?
It is a larger, specialised ship, not a first ship. Beginners should start with a cheap starter (the RSI Aurora Mk II in the Citizen Starter Pack) and grow into bigger ships. Use the finder to pick your first.
