This is a Big One! The Starfarer is here! Star Citizen Alpha 2.3 introduces our largest hangar-ready ship yet. The MISC Starfarer is a dedicated tanker and transport… and a home away from home for a crew of seven, featuring turrets, a reactor room, escape pods, barracks, captain’s quarters and more! If you’ve ever dreamed about commanding a motley crew of space heroes, the Starfarer is a great place to start!
Fuel and More! The Starfarer was initially designed as a tanker, and includes equipment for collecting and refining spaceborne hydrogen. There’s also plenty of standard cargo space, plus defensive weaponry that will make any pirate think twice before trying to board you! For the first time, you can explore the Starfarer in-game… and our engineers are currently working on implementing it in flight for an upcoming patch.
About the Sale The Starfarer is being offered as a ‘hangar ready’ sale. This means that the ship’s geometry and graphics have been implemented in the game engine but that it has not been made flight ready yet. Please note that due to changes in the design, the Starfarer’s price has increased since the original concept sale. The price will increase again when it becomes flight-ready.
If you’d like to add one to your fleet, they’re available in the pledge store until April 4th. You can also view a detail of the Starfarer in the Holo Viewer in the Tech Overview of the ship page!
Disclaimer Remember: we are offering this pledge ship to help fund Star Citizen’s development. The funding generated by sales such as this is what allows us to include deeper, non-combat oriented features in the Star Citizen world. Concept ships will be available for in-game credits in the final universe, and they are not required to start the game.
