If you pledge for a ship that is not flight-ready, then you will be loaned a ship or set of ships to use in Star Citizen until your ship is flight-ready. These ships are not necessarily the equivalent to the concept ship you pledged for, and you will no longer have access to them once your ship is flight-ready. The "Loaner Ship Matrix" knowledge base article on the official Roberts Space Industries website lists the concept ships and their "loaners."
