Star Citizen Starfarer
Starfarer role, variants and buying considerations. Check the source-dated RSI specifications before choosing a hull.
By Domux. Updated 2026-10-11.
The MISC Starfarer is a large fuel-hauling and refuelling ship: a tanker built to collect, store and transfer fuel, a key support role in the wider economy.
What it is
Refuelling is a genuine money-making and support loop, and the Starfarer is the dedicated ship for it, keeping fleets and stations topped up. A specialised industrial vessel.
Who it is for
Players drawn to support and industry roles who want a logistics niche. A specialised crewed ship you grow into, not a starter.
Find the customers before buying the tanker
Refuelling is a support service, so consider who needs fuel and whether your play group wants that logistics role. Selling fuel is not the same workflow as trading ordinary freight. Verify what fuel operations are supported in the current build before projecting income.
Freight trading differences. These are buying considerations based on intended roles, not measured flight-test results.
