EVERSPACE

The Colonial Interceptor is available from the start whereas the Scout and Gunship will need to be unlocked for 10,000 credits. I recommend maxing out the pilot perks before buying ship perks because they are most helpful towards earning the Platinum and can transfer between ships when you decide to try out another playstyle. Stick with one ship that you prefer and purchase all perks to unlock the trophy. Fully upgrading the Interceptor costs a total of 243,850 credits, whereas the total cost of all perks for the Scout is 215,300 credits and the total cost of all Gunship perks is 276,650 credits.

NOTE: If going for 100% or Platinum and the DLC trophy Tuned to the Max, you will need to unlock all perks for 2 spacecraft - one from the original release (either Scout or Gunship) and also the DLC ship Colonial Sentinel. This normally means many more runs to gain enough credits for perks on both but alternatively, there is a save workaround which can save you time towards 100% trophy completion.

After a number of successful runs, you will have unlocked many ship perks and already spent around 150,000 to 200,000 credits. Before you spend your next huge amount of credits to finally upgrade your ship perks for the Tinkerer trophy, make a backup of your save to USB or Cloud. Once backed up, reload the game and spend your credits on your close-to-maxed-out ship to pop Tinkerer. Quit and overwrite your previous save with the backup save, reload the game and spend your credits instead on the Sentinel. Continue to make runs from here, spending any further credits to max out the Sentinel ship perks to unlock the DLC trophy, Tuned to the Max. The total cost of all Sentinel perks is 242,650 credits.
