The alpha isn't out yet - all that's been released is the "hangar module" that lets you walk around your hangar and look at your ship. I believe the dogfight module is expected later this year.
I have the Digital Bounty Hunter package - it includes the Origin 300i ship as well as alpha and beta access. You can get insurance that covers your ship - I think the package still includes 4 month insurance on the hull and you will be able to buy more in game, supposedly fairly cheap. Presumably most ships later in the game will be bought with in-game money, not necessarily real money.
