With the new pathfinder update, ships have been split into four classes: Shuttle, Fighter, Hauler or Explorer.

Do these classes have a standardized set of starships within them or are they randomly generated in each star system? If they are randomized, is the randomization purely cosmetic?

From my experiences, yes, they do have a randomized set of characteristics, based around a central theme.

Hauler
Is generally boxy, and will have a raised cockpit. With some symmetrical wings, or thrusters. I usually find these in Vy'keen systems.

Explorer
Is usually based around a central sphere like cockpit and will have odd looking bits attached and will not be symmetrical. Usually a Korvax ship.

Shuttle
Long and flat, usually with two cylinders on each side. Find these most in Gex systems.

Fighter
Usually a 'pointy' ship, so will be flat, with a pointed cockpit and symmetrical wings.

Exotic
I think these are randomised, as my ship is just a small sphere with two large vertical fins, and is not classed as any of the above.

Not randomized. There is a full guide on starships here: http://segmentnext.com/2016/08/09/no-mans-sky-starships-guide-types-upgrades-blueprints-destruction/

  • Considering the article only lists 3 ship types being explorer, fighter and traders, while in game there are 4 as in the question; I would say no, it was not updated.
