New ships are bought at the Shipyards at Stardock. The Shipyards are open only in the Registered versions of Tradewars 2002. The ships use up different numbers of turns, and are allotted different numbers of holds (to trade with), fighters and shields. We can divide ships by classes:
| Small Ships | Medium Ships | Freighters | Capital Ships |
| Escape Pod | Merchant Cruiser | CargoTran | Missile Frigate |
| Scout Marauder | Starmaster | Colonial Transport | Battleship |
| Merchant Freighter | Constellation | Taurean Mule | Corporate Flagship |
| T'Khasi Orion | Havoc Gunstar | Imperial Starship | |
| Tholian Sentinel | Interdictor Cruiser |
In addition, there are a few different ships the Ferrengi aliens pilot. You may be able to capture the Ferrengi ships, and either pilot it yourself or sell it off at Stardock for cash.
