Melting ships in Star Citizen allows you to turn your pledges back into store credit. You can then spend that store credit on something else, such as another ship.
Step 1: Visit https://robertsspaceindustries.com/account/pledges and sign in.
Step 2: Find the pledge which you wish to melt and click the triangle which is located on the right side of the 'Contains' heading.
Step 3: Click the 'Exchange for Store Credits' option. Make sure that you are receiving the right amount of store credit for your pledge (the same amount that you paid).
Step 4: Enter your password and click 'Reclaim'. The pledge will disappear from your account and store credit will be added.
