How we think about pricing

Three things every tier shares.

01

Same catalog, every tier

The free user gets the same ships the donor gets. No premium content hidden behind a paywall. What you pay for is volume and queue priority — not access.

02

Cancel any time

Patreon and PayPal both handle billing — we never see your card directly. Cancel from your account on whichever platform you signed up through. No support ticket, no retention call, no hassle.

03

Tier changes are instant

Change your tier on whichever platform you used (Patreon or PayPal) and Charon syncs within minutes. No waiting period. No paperwork. Your weekly allotment adjusts immediately.

Common Questions

FAQ

Why does sign-in use Patreon or PayPal?
We use Patreon and PayPal so you can pick whichever you already have or trust more. Both handle billing, identity, and tier management — we never see your card directly. Building all of that ourselves would take months and add fees we'd have to pass on.
Sign-in is one click on either. Your chosen account becomes your Charon account. Your tier syncs automatically and stays in sync if you change it on the original platform later.
What's the difference between a delivery and a download?
Delivery means the bot joins your in-game session and builds the corvette in front of you, part by part, using No Man's Sky's native multiplayer system. The ship lands in your save when you save the game. Live, real-time, no save files swapped.
Download gives you the .nmsship file directly. You install it using a save editor. It's the same final ship — just a different installation method, for builders who prefer that workflow.
Both count as one against your weekly allotment. You pick whichever you prefer per order.
What does "weekly allotment" actually mean?
Each tier gets a fixed number of deliveries per week — Drifter gets 3, Crewmate gets 7, Captain gets 20, Patron of the Crossing is unlimited. This resets every Sunday at midnight Eastern time.
Unused allotment doesn't roll over. If you don't use your 7 ships this week, next week you still only get 7. Use them, or save them for the catalog drops you're really excited about.
Will my game get banned?
Charon uses No Man's Sky's own native multiplayer system. Nothing in your save file is modified by an outside tool when you receive a live delivery — the bot is a multiplayer guest with edit permission, exactly the same kind of session another human player would have.
If you choose the download option, you're installing a .nmsship file in your save the same way the NMS modding community has been doing for years. We don't recommend any practice the broader community hasn't already validated.
What happens if I cancel?
Cancel any time on Patreon or PayPal. You keep your current tier through the end of your billing month, then drop to Drifter at the start of the next cycle. Any corvettes already delivered to you stay yours — they're saved in your game.
You can re-subscribe whenever. Your account stays put.
Are the donor tier perks worth $100/month?
Honestly — only if you want to support the project at scale. The Captain tier at $10/month delivers more corvettes than most members will ever request. Patron of the Crossing exists for the people who believe in what we're building and want to fund it directly.
If that's you, the perks (donor role, direct line to founder, the Ferryman remembers) are real. If it's not — Captain is the right tier and there is no shame in that.
Can I upload my own corvettes?
Yes — every member can upload corvettes to the public catalog, including free Drifters. Ships within the normal envelope (under about 6,000 parts) go live automatically; envelope-pushing builds get a quick mod review before publishing.
Verified Builder is a separate, optional status that rewards proven builders with priority placement in the catalog, a branded profile page with social links, and an invitation-only Private Catalog showroom — a curated space to invite individuals for a private viewing of unlisted ships. Apply through the Builders page when you're ready.
