Affording a spaceship?

That does not mean that wanting to treat a Spaceship as a piece of equipment (like a sword, or a horse) for which the PC needs to pay (points and/or cash) isn't a perfectly valid and reasonable option - for which our rules (GURPS) should be able to provide us with an answer. Dismissing this option in favour or just giving them one is not very helpful.

RAW, affording a spaceship means you've invested a significant chunk of points into the necessary advantages.

A TL 9 space fighter clocks in at G$5.31M. Its' adventuring gear and so isn't included in your CoL. This requires Wealth (Multimillionaire 1; Adventuring Lifestyle; Conditional Ownership (20%), -4%) [72] to afford said space fighter. If your characters are budgeted 150/-50 ... Heh.
