Yeah, what a devils machine, ain't it? :D
And that's not counting the dual T16000 joysticks, hardware to mount it to my chair, and the costs associated with the upcoming Citizencon trip....this game better be good or we will all need financial and psychological counseling. (not to say that most of us don't already :p)

Aurora LN (because that doo-flunky thing on the roof will blot out more sun)
Hornet Ghost (which I tend to melt when anything new becomes flight-ready, but I always come back)
Reliant Tana (because it's the closest thing to a flying saucer, at least, in landing mode)
Caterpillar (because asymmetry is best symmetry)

Here's what I have now:

Sabre
Prospector
Aquila+P52
Starfarer

I'm thinking about melting the Aquila and upgrading the Prospector to an LTI Carrack, then using a token to buy back the Prospector. I figure I'm justified in spending the extra money to go from an Aquila to a Carrack because the Carrack can only fit through large jump points. Therefore I would "unfortunately" be "forced" to buy a Freelancer as well to have access to small and medium jump point exploration. The logic of that makes sense if you're drunk.

Dragonfly will probably be the last I buy .

Could someone explain the value and significance of LTI ?
LTI is lifetime insurance, this means insurance for your ship's hull for life, without having to pay for it in game. So if you get blown up, at least insurance will provide you with a new ship (after a period of time, dpending on demand/rarity/cost probably). Insurance in game won't be incredibly expensive, but will have to be added to your operating costs (and if you have many ships it could add up). So it ends up being valuable for people with many ships who plan to take them all out at various points. There will be insurance to cover weapons, cargo etc, but that ISNT included in LTI packages.

Well, shit. Sounds like I need to buy a Freelancer as well.

Currently own:
Idris-P
Reclaimer
Orion
BMM
Starliner > Corvette (depending on price/looks)

Im more of a cruise type of guy then a fighter pilot.

Thinking of changing to:
Idris-P
890Jump
Corvette

Keep it simple you know.
But since they are so expensive I have to melt others.

After melting and remelting over the last 2 years, I've worked up to a Vanguard Hairbanger (with the Warden kit) a Saber, and a DUR, plus some cash left over. I figure that there are enough rich people around with multi crew ships that I could still get my rocks off by manning a station.

this

the big ships will maneuver so slowly that piloting them won't be much fun

much better to man a turret or juggle systems to keep the ship alive

I've driven supertankers and not-so-super tankers, coastal freighters and tugboats... and, yeah, you don't pilot them things for *excitement* ;-)
I drive big trucks and it's a little exciting when you have to put this giant thing in a tight...small....hole.....

Sorry. What?
