so I bought the Spark today and was upset to see that AFTER I bought the ship, its stats changed to those of a NON-PREMIUM ship… so glad i did not actually pay real money for this $50 standard ship… It makes perfect sense to me now , why this game has been online for almost 6 years and has NEVER had a good player base …Welcome to Star Conflict where you can pay but you can NEVER win… PTNW…(pay to never win) Only in the former USSR could this marketing concept still be used after 6 years of declining sales
put your Spark from the ship tree into one of the 3 or 4 ship-docks -> stats change towards real in-battle stats.
If you have ships in one of your 3 or 4 ship-docks, hover the mouse pointer over a ship and press <shift> you will see base stats indicated by additional numbers.
Or in the ship tree press <strg> for displaying deviations from base stats.
wow can we imagine it’s a bug ?
Hmm you don’t need to buy it, just do missions for xenochips and you can get it for free,
so you can’t complain like you do.
The damn ship is excellent with each weapon that you put on it.
So don’t cry better learn to fly with it.
All premium ships have the same stats as their non-premium versions. There’s nothing wrong about it. They have premium bonuses for faster progression, no repair cost, different module layout and different bonuses. Base stats are all the same. Spark resistances in buy windows come from pre-installed items on it, it has Galvanized Armor, Reactive Armor and Armor-Plated Hull, so everything is right. Even a newb like me knows that. All premium content is here just to speed up progression(except being able to put new ship-specific items without restrictions on premium ships…). Did you expect a ship to come with 69/86/86 resistances without any items installed on it? Oh come on 
Anger because of “PTNW”? I won’t even comment that because it sounds like a troll bait. Well, now I think that entire post is just a troll bait 
still one of the best ship in the game, even now.
Its unbelievable … I speak in English and you all respond in English yet SOMEHOW the message gets lost in translation … Then I remember I’m the only American on this forum the rest are Russian and don’t really speak English … so let me explain what I mean …
step one… log into an alt account that has not bought Spark yet
step two… mouse over the ship stats and screen shot it
step three…log into your main account that has Spark
step four…remove all equipment from spark and remove it from combat slot
step five…mouse over ship stats and screen shot it
step six… notice the difference and see what I’m talking about
So basically whatever they said, those stats are shown as if the ship has those modules installed since, as you know, whenever you buy a premium ship you get a set of mk1 modules for it, you yourself said that you had to remove everything from the ship and remove it from the combat slot, both removing its implant and module bonuses.

Exactly this. Every premium ship comes with set of white quality equipment. For example listed, not purchased Neuron:
Purchased Neuron:
equipment (still not in combat slot):
hope it helps.

yes that’s it the stock modules that come with the ship was why it had better stats … didn’t think about that , thx for the clarification
emmmmmmmm,In old days that was before Alien’s attack has been end, all ship would have its default by it’s designer, but after attack’s end, something wrong with supply lines which cause most of those equipment lost in space transport line, and our enemies just take those equipment. Although they have the same kinds of those things, they still think they will make a big cash box from those equipment after their deadly daily space patrol mission. But it just become a lucky hunt or cake walk for these mercenary, cause the modify technology that all manufacturer only provide mercenary it. This technology let mercenary make their ships to be fastest, most tough or most powerful one to all their enemies.
emmmmmmmmm, could I write a SC fiction?
Spark is still by far the strongest empire gunship in the game (not counting orelus and ghost, because those are outright broken…), so stop complaining, as for the stats…
Basically what everyone else already said… the buy window shows you the stats of the by default equipped passives and you probably looked at the stats of a stripped Spark afterwards
Also Ctrl shows the extra stats, if you need to know.
