Those who play No Man's Sky know finding S-Class ships is difficult, especially if players are looking for ones like Type-7 class Exotics. Finding them can be difficult unless someone knows where to look, and it can be frustrating to find one that is either too expensive or doesn't have quite what the player is looking for. With all the game's ambitious updates this year, it will take hours to get every Exotic S-Class ship.

From Royal class down to Mosquito class, these ships are well sought after. With a universe as large as No Man's Sky, it's no wonder that there are various YouTube videos, posts, wikis, and other resources waiting to lend a helping hand. While this guide will not encompass all the S-Class ships in No Man's Sky, as there are a lot, it does point out a few that are interesting in name, storage capacity capability, and tech size.
Updated July 13, 2021 by Beau Boo Low: Since its disastrous initial release, No Man's Sky has become a gift that keeps on giving. The latest Prisms update has massively improved the game's graphics, with better volumetric lighting and spectacular hyperspace effects. These improvements make adventuring through the cosmos more stunning and beautiful than ever before. Of course, in order to see all the new sights the game has to offer, players will need a ship. The spaceship catalog is bigger than ever and many new exotic-class ships have been added over the course of the game's many updates and expansions. As such, this article has been updated to include new S-class exotic ships for players to hunt down and travel the galaxy in.
The Four Types Of Exotic-Class Ships
- Royal-style ships: Have ball cockpits and bi-furcated double noses. Often found in Vy'keen systems
- Guppy-Style ships: Ball cockpits with no nose. Some varieties have elongated rears to look more like fish.
- Mosquito-style ships: the final variety of exotic class ships with a ball cockpit. They are identifiable by their single, long thin nose.
- Squid/Calamari-style ships: Have a wide variety of different cockpits and distinctive tentacle noses. These are incredibly valuable ships due to their rarity. The telescopic tentacles will fold up when landed.
