Star Citizen Constellation

Constellation role, variants and buying considerations. Check the source-dated RSI specifications before choosing a hull.

By Domux. Updated 2026-10-03.

The RSI Constellation is a classic multi-crew ship, a roomy, well-armed vessel that balances cargo, combat and exploration, often carrying a small docked snub fighter.

What it is

A jack-of-all-trades for a small crew: it hauls cargo, holds its own in a fight, and ranges far. The Andromeda variant is one of the most recognisable ships in the game.

Who it is for

Players who want one versatile ship to fly with friends, covering cargo and combat together. It is a step up you grow into, not a starter.

Compare the actual Constellation variants

Andromeda, Taurus, Aquila and Phoenix should be evaluated individually. Freight, expedition and other configurations have different priorities. Do not assume a snub fighter, cargo capacity or interior from one variant is included with another. Begin with your mission and regular crew, then read the matching product contents.

Other transport variants. These are buying considerations based on intended roles, not measured flight-test results.

Check the source-dated RSI specifications below for variants and production status. In-game purchase and rental availability need a separate check. For first-time access, choose a Game Package; standalone ships do not include the game licence.
