So I had heard of this game but never actually looked into it. So I just now went onto their site and I don't get how you even purchase this game. Is this nothing more than a pay to win game because it looks like you are required to purchase the ships with real money?

Their site is extremely awful. The game is a standard $60 for the full thing, but you can buy ships for real money (they are also buyable in-game). It is somewhat P2W but its not like Ubishaft or Squenix; Star Citizen actually needs the money as its how they fund the development of the game, because they have no publisher funding/controlling them.

So I take it you create an account and then buy one of the starter packages, then completing missions gets you in game money to purchase other ships and stuff? Also, what is insurance?

Yeah, I'm not exactly sure either. It is straightforward enough to dump credit in, but I don't see why it's necessary for them in having two options of purchase with an additional ship to throw in. The games isn't even complete yet and it already has purchasable DLC.
I suppose it would make sense to me if I were closely following the project and was deeply involved with the community, but I'm not, and from my perspective, this all stinks to me.

Its not DLC in the sense that you can get everything with in-game currency. It´s like War thunder, pay to avoid the grind.
