    you will be asked to login with your login details that you were given when setting up the account. If you have installed the game from disc there have been many patches since launch and you can expect up to 10GB of data to be patched before the login screen will appear.
    Your progress will be shown you in the client.

    I imagine your first patch will take a while, though after that it should be very short. It also depends on your internet speed.

    I'd do it overnight when you are asleep unless you have internet above 10Mbit. As i said, it could be up to 10Gb of data to patch ( you can read that for yourself on your client as it is patching )
    If you don't want to tie up your bandwidth now then at night would be the answer.

    The game will patch until it is up to date. It's going to take an hour or two even at high speed. Settle in.
    When you are logged in there will be a hud display. Top right gives a drop down option for the nickel and dime store where you can claim any purchase rewards you are due. The Connie is an entry level ship and id the same as the ship you will get starting the game depending upon how you choose to equip it ( that will be after the tutorial ). The only advantage of the Connie is cosmetic. You will not use it after rank 2 ( level 11) other than for nostalgia.

    Best of luck getting what you want from the game :)

    The Light Constitution Cruiser also does have the extra engineering console slot so it is a bit better than the starter ship.
