Star Citizen Scorpius

The RSI Scorpius is a sleek heavy fighter with two seats: a pilot and a dedicated turret gunner, built for serious air superiority.

What it is

With heavy weapons and a manned turret, the Scorpius rewards a pilot-and-gunner duo, hitting harder than single-seat fighters in coordinated combat.

Who it is for

Players who fly with a partner and want a powerful combat ship, or solo pilots stepping up their game. A combat upgrade you grow into, not a starter.

Plan for the second seat

Consider how often a second player will join your fighter sorties. The Scorpius is a combat choice, so compare it with the Vanguard for your preferred mission style rather than treating either as a cargo upgrade. Check the Scorpius and Antares products individually; their names do not establish identical equipment.

Vanguard 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.
