FAQ

What is the best ship in Skyforge Drift?

The Halcyon is the fastest S tier ship after patch 0.9.2. If you prefer fights over clean racing lines, the Ironjaw is the other S tier pick.

Which starter ship should I pick?

Pick the Wren. It is the only A tier starter and keeps up with most unlockable ships until pilot level 12.

Beginner guide

Build the Wren, learn to feather the trim instead of holding it, and save Embers for Rare parts. Those three habits carry you to pilot level 12.
