Si has comprado una Cross Chassis Upgrade (CCU) para transformar una nave en otra, sigue estos pasos:
1. Reclama el item
Sigue los pasos de entrega indicados arriba para añadir la CCU a tu RSI Hangar.
2. Encuéntrala en tu Hangar

Los pedidos de naves, CCU, pinturas e items de Star Citizen normalmente se entregan en 20–30 minutos.
En casos raros, la entrega puede tardar hasta 12 horas por alta demanda, límites de RSI Gift, estado de la cuenta o verificaciones manuales.
Normalmente, no permitimos que la entrega de una nave supere las 12 horas, salvo que haya un problema excepcional, como limitaciones del sistema de RSI, restricciones de la cuenta o una verificación pendiente del cliente.
¿Mi pedido de nave está protegido?
Sí. La seguridad y la fiabilidad son nuestra prioridad.
Todas las naves de LTI Hangar salen de nuestro propio stock. No trabajamos con vendedores externos ni con proveedores terceros desconocidos.
Cada entrega queda registrada de forma clara, para que el proceso pueda revisarse y rastrearse si necesitas soporte. También ofrecemos 6 meses de protección posventa para problemas elegibles relacionados con la entrega.

El RSI Hangar Log nos ayuda a comprobar el historial de la nave, por ejemplo si fue reclamada, melted, transferida, intercambiada o modificada después de la entrega.
¿Por qué otros marketplaces no suelen ofrecer esto?

Para poder revisarlo, contáctanos con tu número de pedido, el email usado al finalizar la compra y capturas claras de tu RSI Hangar.
Why are the names of the Star Citizen ships I received different?
Una nave o vehículo Standalone CCU’ed es una nave o vehículo completo. ¡No es una mejora!
CCU’ed simplemente significa que se creó mejorando una nave o vehículo más pequeño hasta convertirlo en el modelo que estás comprando.
Ten en cuenta también que, en el correo de regalo, solo aparecerá el nombre de la nave utilizada como base para la mejora. No te preocupes: la nave real que verás en tu hangar será exactamente la que has pedido.
Por ejemplo, así es como se ve una Polaris CCU’ed en el hangar del sitio web de RSI.

Vanduul Scythe Standalone Ship Gameplay Guide
The Vanduul Scythe, often listed for players as the Scythe or Esperia Scythe replica, is one of the rarer alien fighters in Star Citizen. It is built for players who want a hostile Vanduul combat profile, high collector value, and a fighter that feels very different from normal human military ships. The Scythe is not a cargo ship, daily driver, exploration ship, or utility platform. It is a single-seat alien medium fighter made for combat identity, rarity, and visual presence.
Official RSI material describes the Scythe as a symbol of the Vanduul race, the “foot soldier” of Vanduul raids, and a fighter with a heavy weapons payload whose real asset is maneuverability from its twin main and twelve maneuvering thrusters. RSI’s older technical overview lists it as a medium fighter, 31m length, 0 cargo, and 1 crew.
The Scythe is a rare alien collector fighter for players who want Vanduul identity and historic Star Citizen value, not broad everyday utility.
Build Your Alien Fighter Fleet with the Scythe
The Scythe is one of the more iconic alien ships in Star Citizen. If you are looking to acquire this rare Vanduul-style fighter, you can explore our available options in the Star Citizen Ships and Vehicles Collection.
Scythe Key Specifications
| Specification | Vanduul Scythe / Scythe Replica | Gameplay Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Manufacturer / Origin | Vanduul design / human-modified player version | Gives the ship a hostile alien identity while still being usable by human players. |
| Role | Medium Fighter | Built for combat, not hauling, exploration, or utility. |
| Status | Flyable / rare ownership reference | The Scythe has a rare ownership history and should not be described like a normal always-available pledge-store ship. Buyers should check the exact listing, delivery method, and current game status before purchase. |
| Crew | 1 pilot | Fully solo-operated; no turret gunner or co-pilot required. |
| Cargo Capacity | 0 SCU | No trading, hauling, or delivery value. |
| Older Official Length Reference | 31m | Compact alien fighter size with a dramatic asymmetric profile. |
| Current Community Length Reference | 33m | Current game-data references may differ from older official concept values. |
| Weapon Identity | Vanduul-style weapon reference | Gives the ship its alien combat identity, but exact weapon sizes, damage, handling, shields, and rework status should be treated as patch-dependent gameplay reference. |
| Missile Support | Vanduul missile-rack reference | Adds missile pressure, but missile behavior and effectiveness may change with balance updates. |
| Blade Feature | Visual / design identity reference | The Scythe’s blade is central to its Vanduul look, but blade ramming should not be promised as a guaranteed current gameplay feature. |
| Core Gameplay | Alien fighter combat, collection, rarity, Vanduul theme | Best for collectors and combat pilots who value identity more than convenience. |
Note: Star Citizen ship specifications and combat balance may change between patches. For product pages, exact weapons, handling, shields, availability, ownership rules, and rework status should be treated as gameplay-reference information rather than permanent final values.
What Makes the Scythe Valuable?
The Scythe is valuable because it is not just another fighter. It is one of Star Citizen’s earlier and more recognizable alien ships, tied directly to the Vanduul threat and to early backer history.
Its main selling point is rarity. RSI’s preview material stated that a limited number of Scythes were available to backers early in the campaign and that there were no plans to sell additional ships at that time. That makes the Scythe very different from normal pledge-store fighters, even compared with other alien ships.
The second selling point is identity. The Scythe looks hostile. It does not feel like an Anvil, Aegis, RSI, Crusader, or Mirai ship. Its asymmetric blade profile and Vanduul design language make it feel like a captured enemy craft rather than a normal civilian product.
The Scythe is not the fighter you buy for convenience. It is the fighter you buy because it is rare, alien, historic, and immediately recognizable.
Alien Fighter Gameplay Role
The Scythe’s main role is single-seat fighter combat. It has no cargo, no bed, no internal utility, no vehicle bay, no medical function, and no multi-crew support.
In practical gameplay, the Scythe fits several player types:
| Gameplay Use | Why the Scythe Fits |
|---|---|
| Alien ship collection | One of the more recognizable Vanduul ships available to players. |
| Rare hangar value | Clear historical and limited-ownership appeal. |
| Single-seat combat | One pilot controls the entire ship. |
| Vanduul roleplay | Good for players building alien or aggressor-themed fleets. |
| PvE fighter gameplay | Offers a different combat feel from human fighters. |
| Style-focused PvP | Distinct silhouette and rarity make it stand out immediately. |
The Scythe should not be sold as an everyday practical fighter. It is better described as a rare alien combat collectible.
Firepower and Combat Feel
The Scythe’s combat identity is built around Vanduul-style weapons and maneuverability. Older RSI material emphasized its heavy weapons payload and maneuverability, while current community game data lists the replica with S5 WAR and WRATH cannons, S1 WEAK repeaters, and Vanduul missile racks.
This makes the Scythe feel different from standard human fighters. It is not a clean military platform like the Hornet, Sabre, or F8C. It is sharper, stranger, and more aggressive in presentation.
The Scythe rewards pilots who want an alien combat experience rather than a normal human fighter loadout.
However, do not promise that it is a guaranteed meta ship. Its combat value depends on current balance, pilot skill, weapon tuning, and the state of alien-ship reworks.
Vanduul Blade and Ramming Expectations
The Scythe’s blade is a major part of its identity, but product pages should be careful with wording. RSI’s Scythe Q&A said the blade wing was non-functional at that time, although the goal was to have it working in-game and especially for AI use.
The Scythe’s blade is one of its most important visual features, but buyers should not treat blade ramming as a guaranteed current gameplay feature.
This avoids overpromising while still explaining why the ship looks so dangerous.
Human-Usable Alien Design
Although the Scythe is a Vanduul design, the player version is usable by humans. RSI’s preview article explained that the Scythes available to players were modified by a human aerospace company, with human-designed controls and HUD software using human-readable text and graphics while still keeping an alien style.
The Scythe gives players the feeling of flying a Vanduul fighter, but the player-accessible version is adapted so human pilots can actually operate it.
This also helps avoid confusion for customers who ask whether the ship is a true captured alien craft or a human-compatible replica.
Rarity and Availability Expectations
The Scythe is one of the most sensitive ships to describe because its availability history is unusual. RSI’s 2015 preview stated that only a limited number were available to early campaign backers, with no plans to sell additional ships at that time. RSI’s Alpha 1.1.5 post later said early backers who picked one up during the initial campaign could access the flyable Scythe.
Only promise what the exact listing provides. The Scythe has rare ownership history, so customers should carefully check whether they are buying a transferable pledge, account-bound item, buyback-based item, or another specific delivery method.
The Scythe should not be described like a normal always-available store ship. Customers should check the exact delivery method, transfer status, pledge type, and account-binding details before purchase.
Scythe vs Glaive
The Scythe and Glaive are closely related, but they are not the same ship.
| Ship | Best For | Main Difference |
|---|---|---|
| Scythe | Rarity, classic Vanduul identity, collector value | More iconic as the classic Vanduul fighter and early rare ownership ship. |
| Glaive | Symmetrical Vanduul fighter fantasy | RSI describes the Glaive as a symmetrical version of the Scythe, generally flown by more experienced Vanduul pilots and better armed. |
| Blade | Lighter alien fighter gameplay | Smaller and more agile alien fighter option. |
| Stinger | Newer heavy alien fighter identity | Heavier, newer, and more direct in heavy-fighter presentation. |
Choose the Scythe if you want the rare classic Vanduul fighter. Choose the Glaive if you want the symmetrical Vanduul fighter style. Choose the Stinger if you want the newer heavy alien fighter.
Solo Gameplay
The Scythe is a single-seat fighter. That makes it simple to use: one pilot, one cockpit, one combat role.
A practical Scythe pilot focuses on:
| Pilot Focus | Gameplay Meaning |
|---|---|
| Positioning | Keep the alien weapon package aligned with the target. |
| Maneuver control | Use the ship’s fighter movement instead of relying on raw tankiness. |
| Target selection | Pick fights where its weapons and profile can matter. |
| Patch awareness | Alien ships can feel very different after balance or rework updates. |
| Survival discipline | Do not treat rarity as combat invincibility. |
| Style value | The Scythe’s presence is part of its appeal. |
A practical Scythe session should feel like flying a rare alien fighter, not a normal daily combat ship. The pilot needs to understand the ship’s unusual profile, current handling, weapon timing, and matchup limits before treating it as a serious combat pick. Against PvE targets, the Scythe can feel memorable because the cockpit, silhouette, and Vanduul weapon identity create a very different experience from human fighters. Against skilled players or agile fighters, the pilot should not rely on rarity or visual intimidation to win. In real use, the Scythe rewards players who value alien identity, positioning, and careful target choice more than players who simply want the most practical fighter for every patch.
The Scythe is best for pilots who want a rare alien fighter experience, not players who need a forgiving everyday combat ship.
Cargo and Utility Expectations
The Scythe has 0 SCU cargo, so it should not be described as a mission utility ship, delivery ship, or general-purpose platform.
The Scythe is a fighter only. It is not for hauling, box delivery, vehicle transport, medical support, or exploration utility.
This is one of the most important expectation points. The Scythe’s value is rarity and combat identity, not practical daily use.

Scythe vs Other Star Citizen Fighters
| Ship Fleet Option | Primary Core Role | Compared with Scythe |
|---|---|---|
| Esperia Glaive | Vanduul Medium Fighter | The Glaive is a symmetrical version of the Scythe with a stronger elite-pilot image. The Scythe is rarer and more historically iconic. |
| Esperia Stinger | Alien Heavy Fighter | The Stinger is newer and heavier. The Scythe is more classic and rare. |
| Esperia Blade | Alien Light Fighter | The Blade is lighter and more agile. The Scythe is more iconic and collector-focused. |
| Esperia Talon | Tevarin Light Fighter | The Talon is elegant and agile. The Scythe is more hostile and Vanduul-themed. |
| F8C Lightning | Human Heavy Fighter | The F8C is more practical as an elite human fighter. The Scythe is more about rarity and alien identity. |
| F7C-M Super Hornet Mk II | Two-Seat Medium Fighter | The Super Hornet is more conventional and practical. The Scythe is rarer and more exotic. |
| Sabre | Stealth Medium Fighter | The Sabre is a cleaner human stealth fighter. The Scythe is more alien and collector-driven. |
| Mirai Guardian | Solo Heavy Fighter | The Guardian is more practical for modern heavy fighter use. The Scythe is more valuable as a rare alien icon. |
Scythe vs Glaive
The Glaive is better for players who want a more accessible Vanduul-style fighter with a symmetrical design and a stronger elite-pilot image. The Scythe is better for players who care more about rarity, early Star Citizen history, and the classic Vanduul fighter silhouette. Choose the Glaive if you want the more familiar Esperia Vanduul fighter. Choose the Scythe if you want the rarer and more historic alien collector ship.
Scythe vs Stinger
The Stinger is better for players who want a newer and heavier alien fighter with stronger heavy-fighter identity. The Scythe is better for players who want the classic Vanduul fighter shape, rare ownership history, and older Star Citizen collector value. Choose the Stinger for heavier alien combat presence. Choose the Scythe for rarity, history, and classic Vanduul identity.
Scythe vs F8C Lightning
The F8C Lightning is better for players who want a practical elite human combat fighter with a more conventional military feel. The Scythe is better for players who care more about rare alien identity, collection value, and visual uniqueness. Choose the F8C for practical high-status human fighter gameplay. Choose the Scythe for rare Vanduul collector appeal.
Scythe Strengths and Limitations
| Strategic Strengths | Operational Limitations |
|---|---|
| Rare and historically important Star Citizen ship. | Not a practical daily driver. |
| Iconic Vanduul identity makes it stand out immediately. | No cargo, no interior utility, and no support role. |
| Single-seat operation keeps the ship simple. | No turret or multi-crew gameplay. |
| Alien weapon and flight identity feel different from human fighters. | Combat value depends heavily on patch balance and rework status. |
| Clear collector and hangar-display appeal. | Availability and delivery method can be confusing. |
| Useful for alien roleplay and Vanduul-themed fleets. | Blade or ramming features should not be overpromised. |
Who Should Buy the Scythe?
The Scythe is best for players who want a rare alien fighter with strong collection value and classic Vanduul identity. It is especially suitable for alien ship collectors, early-pledge collectors, Vanduul fans, Esperia collectors, roleplay groups, and players who already own practical ships and want something more unusual.
It is also a good choice for players who care about Star Citizen history. The Scythe is not just another fighter on a long list. It is one of the ships that helped define the Vanduul as a visual threat.
Players who want a practical everyday fighter may prefer the F8C, Hornet Mk II, Sabre, Guardian, Vanguard, or Gladius. Players who want cargo or utility should avoid the Scythe entirely. But for players who want one of the rarer alien fighter identities in Star Citizen, the Scythe remains a collector-focused ship.
Scythe FAQ
Is the Scythe worth buying in Star Citizen?
The Scythe is worth buying if you want a rare alien fighter with strong Vanduul identity and collector value. It is not worth buying if you need cargo, daily utility, exploration, medical gameplay, or broad multi-role use.
Is the Scythe Flight Ready?
Yes, the Scythe has been flyable for eligible owners since early Star Citizen builds. RSI’s Alpha 1.1.5 post stated that early backers who owned one could access the flyable Scythe, and current community data tracks the Scythe replica as Flight Ready, with rework in progress.
What is the main role of the Scythe?
The Scythe’s main role is medium fighter combat. RSI describes it as a Vanduul fighter with a heavy weapons payload and strong maneuverability from twin main and twelve maneuvering thrusters.
How many crew does the Scythe have?
The Scythe is a single-seat ship with 1 pilot. It does not require a turret gunner, co-pilot, or crew support.
Does the Scythe have cargo?
No. The Scythe has 0 SCU cargo, so it should not be purchased for hauling, deliveries, trade, or utility gameplay.
Is the Scythe rare?
Yes. RSI’s preview article stated that a limited number of Scythes were available to early campaign backers and that there were no plans to sell additional ships at that time. This is one of the main reasons the Scythe has strong collector value.
Is the Scythe a Vanduul ship or an Esperia replica?
The safest product-page wording is that the Scythe is a Vanduul design made usable for human players. RSI said the player-accessible Scythes were modified by a human aerospace company with human-designed controls and HUD software, while current community data describes the player version as an Esperia Scythe replica.
Can anyone buy the Scythe?
Not normally. The Scythe has a rare early-ownership history, and customers should carefully check the exact listing and delivery method. Product pages should not describe it like a normal always-available pledge-store ship.
Is the Scythe better than the Glaive?
The Scythe is better if you want the rarer classic Vanduul fighter identity. The Glaive is better if you want the symmetrical Vanduul fighter style associated with more experienced Vanduul pilots. Both are more collector-focused than practical daily fighters.
Should I choose the Scythe or Glaive?
Choose the Glaive if you want a more familiar Esperia Vanduul fighter with symmetrical design and a clearer combat-focused ownership path. Choose the Scythe if you care more about rarity, early Star Citizen history, and the classic Vanduul fighter silhouette. The Glaive is the better practical Vanduul-style fighter choice, while the Scythe is the better rare collector pick.
Is the Scythe better than the Stinger?
The Stinger is newer, heavier, and more aggressive as a modern alien heavy fighter. The Scythe is rarer, more historic, and more iconic as the classic Vanduul fighter. Choose Stinger for heavy alien firepower. Choose Scythe for rarity and history.
Is the Scythe good for PvE?
Yes, the Scythe can be used for PvE fighter gameplay, but its appeal is more about alien combat feel and collection value than practical efficiency. Players who want easier everyday PvE may prefer more conventional fighters.
Is the Scythe good for PvP?
The Scythe can be used in PvP, but it should not be marketed as a guaranteed meta fighter. Its performance depends on pilot skill, current balance, rework status, and matchup.
Can the Scythe’s blade be used for ramming?
Do not promise that as a current product feature. RSI’s Scythe Q&A said the blade wing was non-functional at that time, although the goal was to have it working in-game. The safe wording is to treat the blade mainly as visual and design identity unless current gameplay confirms otherwise.
Does the Scythe have good long-term value?
Yes, the Scythe has useful long-term value for collectors because of its rarity, Vanduul identity, and Star Citizen history. Its combat value may change with balance and reworks, but its collector appeal is the main reason to own it.
