So I decided to keep this short and provide you most useful links you will need about ships
There is a thing called VWAP – the “volume-weighted average price” per ship, and returns you get from fleet enlistment depends on this price regardless of ships current price. So, to maximize your returns you should buy whatever on discount. However, you can also buy other ships which you think will have more utility as game develops. TL:DR check this link to purchase whatever is on discount for the best ROI 😀

If there is a ship currently on discount, it will be seen like that on above picture. Lots of people trading ships lately so when you are reading this, there is a chance none of the ships would be on discount. In that case try to purchase whatever is on lowest % premium or the one that gives best APR.
Hint: You can buy 100 of 20$ ships or 1 2000$ worth of ship, there is no major difference in APR for now. However, you will need to manage supplies such as food/fuel/ammo, so smaller/cheaper ships require you to be more active in managing your fleet compared to expensive ones. TL:DR check this link to see and compare resupply period and APR of ships https://explorer.staratlas.club/ships/staking
