Preguntas frecuentes
¿Cuánto suele tardar la entrega?
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.
Este control de stock propio, entrega trazable y protección posventa no es algo habitual en muchos marketplaces de terceros. Por eso, muchos jugadores eligen LTI Hangar para comprar naves de Star Citizen de forma más segura y con mayor tranquilidad.

Si ocurre algún problema con un item durante la entrega o dentro de los 6 meses posteriores a la entrega completada, investigaremos el caso.
Si confirmamos que el problema fue responsabilidad nuestra, te ofreceremos un reemplazo o un reembolso.
Para revisar el caso, puede que necesitemos pruebas como capturas de tu RSI Hangar, detalles del pedido o registros del RSI Hangar Log.
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?
Muchos marketplaces dependen de vendedores externos o de inventario mezclado, lo que dificulta rastrear cada entrega con claridad.
En LTI Hangar, todas las naves salen de nuestro propio stock y cada pedido tiene registros claros de entrega. Por eso podemos ofrecer un soporte más seguro, fiable y con protección posventa de hasta 6 meses.
¿Puedo pedir un reembolso después de reclamar la nave, CCU, pintura o item?
Una vez reclamado el RSI Gift, la nave, CCU, pintura o item queda vinculado a la cuenta RSI que lo ha aceptado.
Por las limitaciones del sistema de regalos de Star Citizen, un item reclamado normalmente no puede volver a enviarse, devolverse, revertirse ni transferirse a otra cuenta. Por eso, los items ya reclamados normalmente no pueden cancelarse ni reembolsarse.
Solo podremos ofrecer una corrección, reemplazo o reembolso si confirmamos que el problema fue responsabilidad nuestra, por ejemplo si se envió un item incorrecto, hubo un error de entrega o existe otro problema de entrega verificado causado por nosotros.
Antes de hacer clic en “Claim Gift”, asegúrate de estar conectado a la cuenta RSI correcta. Si el regalo se reclama en una cuenta equivocada, normalmente no podrá moverse a otra cuenta.
¿Qué pasa si recibo una nave, CCU, pintura o item equivocado?
Si comprobamos que el item incorrecto fue entregado por un error nuestro, revisaremos el caso y te ofreceremos una solución: corrección, reemplazo o reembolso, según corresponda.
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.

RSI Zeus Mk II CL Standalone Ship Gameplay Guide
The RSI Zeus Mk II CL is the cargo-focused variant of the Zeus Mk II series, built for Star Citizen players who want a compact medium freighter with useful cargo capacity, a rear tractor beam, small-crew amenities, and enough defensive firepower to feel safer than a pure box hauler. It is not the exploration-focused ES, not the bounty-focused MR, not a heavy vehicle carrier, and not a large-scale freighter like the C2, Caterpillar, or Hull C.
The safest way to understand it is simple:
The Zeus Mk II CL is the Zeus you choose when cargo is the main reason to buy the ship.
RSI’s official Zeus Mk II material describes the CL as the commerce-focused variant, with additional cargo space and a tractor beam for handling freight. Current reference data lists the Zeus Mk II CL as Flight Ready, with 1–3 crew, 128 SCU, a Size 2 rear tractor beam turret, and Flight Ready history from Alpha 3.24.2.
Build Your RSI Cargo Fleet with the Zeus Mk II CL
The Zeus Mk II CL is one of the more practical modern cargo ships for players who want meaningful freight capacity without moving into a very large hauler. It fits buyers who want a usable RSI daily cargo ship, not just a concept or collector piece. If you are looking to acquire this RSI cargo ship, you can explore our available options in the Star Citizen Ships and Vehicles Collection.
Zeus Mk II CL Key Specifications
| Specification | RSI Zeus Mk II CL | Gameplay Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Manufacturer | Roberts Space Industries | Classic human manufacturer with strong legacy branding. |
| Role | Medium Freight / Cargo Variant | Cargo-focused Zeus Mk II variant, not the ES explorer or MR security version. |
| Status | Flight Ready | Current reference data lists the Zeus Mk II CL as Flight Ready from Alpha 3.24.2. |
| Crew | 1–3 | Solo-usable, but better with crew support for cargo handling and defense. |
| Cargo | 128 SCU | Main reason to buy the CL; useful medium-freight capacity. |
| Max Container Reference | 16 SCU | Useful for cargo planning; not every cargo layout will feel equally convenient. |
| Tractor Beam | Rear Size 2 tractor beam turret | Helps with loading, unloading, and moving freight. |
| Weapons | 2× S4 pilot weapons, ventral remote turret with 2× S3 guns, 8× S2 missiles | Enough to defend cargo, but not a pure combat platform. |
| Dimensions | 45.69m length / 34.3m width / 7m height | Medium footprint, smaller than heavy freighters. |
| Crew Amenities | 3-person bunkroom, storage, head, kitchenette / dining area, weapon lockers, suit locker, docking port | More livable than many simple cargo ships. |
| Core Gameplay | Cargo hauling, hauling contracts, trade runs, daily logistics | Best for players who want practical cargo use. |
Note: Star Citizen cargo grids, box sizes, loading behavior, tractor beams, weapon balance, and handling can change between patches. Treat exact live values as current gameplay-reference information rather than permanent final numbers.
What Makes the Zeus Mk II CL Valuable?
The Zeus Mk II CL is valuable because it gives players a useful cargo number in a ship that still feels manageable. It is not as large as a C2, not as industrial as a Caterpillar, and not as old-school as the Freelancer MAX. It sits in a practical middle area: enough cargo to matter, small enough to use often.
RSI’s Zeus Q&A compares the CL favorably against the Spirit C1 and Mercury Star Runner in cargo volume, while also acknowledging that buyers may still choose another ship for visibility, handling, layout, brand, or operating feel.
The Zeus Mk II CL is not the largest hauler in Star Citizen. It is the modern RSI cargo ship for players who want useful freight capacity without moving into heavy-freighter scale.
That is the core buyer message.
Cargo Hauling Gameplay Role
The Zeus Mk II CL’s main role is cargo hauling. It is for players who want to move freight, run hauling contracts, trade commodities, and carry useful mission supplies while still having a ship with crew space and defensive weapons.
In practical gameplay, the Zeus CL fits several roles:
| Gameplay Use | Why the Zeus CL Fits |
|---|---|
| Cargo trading | 128 SCU gives the ship meaningful trade capacity. |
| Hauling contracts | Good fit for players who want a modern medium freighter. |
| Small-crew logistics | Pilot, turret operator, and cargo handler can all have useful roles. |
| Daily freight work | Easier to use regularly than larger cargo ships. |
| Mission supply transport | Useful for armor, weapons, boxes, components, and org supplies. |
| RSI fleet building | Natural cargo partner to Zeus ES / MR, Constellation, Galaxy, and Polaris fleets. |
The Zeus CL should be described as a cargo-first medium ship, not a general replacement for every Zeus variant.
128 SCU Cargo Capacity
The Zeus Mk II CL’s key selling point is its 128 SCU cargo capacity. Current reference data lists 128 SCU internal cargo, while RSI’s official pledge page frames the CL around commerce and freight handling.
The Zeus CL gives you enough cargo to make hauling feel meaningful, without forcing you into a large freighter.
That makes it especially attractive to players who feel that the C1 Spirit is a little too small but do not want the size and operating feel of a Taurus, Caterpillar, or C2.
Cargo Grid and Loading Expectations
The Zeus CL has useful capacity, but its cargo hold should be described carefully. Current reference data lists a max container reference of 16 SCU, which means the ship is not simply about stuffing the largest possible boxes without planning.
The Zeus CL rewards cargo planning. It has useful SCU for its size, but loading layout and box size still matter.
This is useful for customer trust. Buyers should understand that 128 SCU is useful, but not every cargo job feels equally smooth depending on box sizes, loading access, and current cargo-grid behavior.
Rear Tractor Beam
The rear tractor beam is one of the Zeus CL’s most practical advantages. Current reference data lists a Size 2 rear tractor beam turret, and RSI’s official pledge page highlights the CL’s freight-handling identity.
The Zeus CL is not just a cargo hold. It also gives the crew a real cargo-handling tool.
This matters because cargo gameplay is not only about how much a ship can carry. Loading, unloading, and moving boxes efficiently can make a difference in real use.
Weapons and Self-Defense
The Zeus CL is not a combat ship, but it is not helpless. Current reference data lists two forward-facing Size 4 weapons, a ventral remote turret with two Size 3 guns, and eight Size 2 missiles.
| Combat Layer | Gameplay Meaning |
|---|---|
| 2× S4 pilot weapons | Gives the pilot meaningful forward pressure. |
| Remote turret with 2× S3 guns | Gives a second player a useful defensive role. |
| 8× S2 missiles | Adds pressure against attackers. |
| Cargo-first layout | Weapons protect the freight; they do not turn the ship into a gunship. |
The Zeus CL can defend a cargo run, but it should not be sold as the combat Zeus.
For security, bounty, or interdiction gameplay, the Zeus MR is the better long-term choice. For exploration, the Zeus ES is the correct variant.
Crew Amenities and Daily Use
The Zeus CL feels more complete than many simple cargo ships because it includes real crew amenities. Current reference data lists a 3-person bunkroom, storage, a head, compact kitchenette / dining area, weapon lockers, a suit locker, and a docking port.
The Zeus CL is a cargo ship you can actually live with, not just a flying cargo bay.
That is one of its main advantages over smaller, more basic ships. It can be used as a daily logistics ship, a small-crew home base, and a practical trade runner.
Solo and Small-Crew Gameplay
The Zeus CL can work for solo players, but it becomes more efficient with crew. A solo pilot can fly, trade, and use the pilot weapons. A second player can help with turret defense and cargo handling. A third player can help with logistics, security, or loading.
A practical Zeus CL crew may include:
| Crew Role | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Pilot / Owner | Flies, chooses routes, lands, and manages trade risk. |
| Cargo Operator | Uses the tractor beam and helps load / unload freight. |
| Turret Operator | Provides defensive coverage during risky runs. |
| Route Planner | Helps choose safe cargo routes and trade stops. |
| Escort Pilot | Protects the Zeus CL when cargo value is high. |
The Zeus CL is solo-usable, but it becomes a much better cargo ship when another player helps with loading or defense.
A practical Zeus Mk II CL session should feel like a medium cargo run, not a heavy-hauler operation. The pilot chooses a route, checks whether the cargo value is worth the risk, lands close to the loading area, and uses the rear tractor beam to make freight work feel more controlled. Solo use is realistic, but the ship becomes more comfortable when another player helps with loading, turret defense, or route safety. In real use, the Zeus CL rewards players who want meaningful cargo capacity in a ship that still feels manageable, rather than players who want the largest possible hauler or a guaranteed vehicle carrier.
Vehicle and Utility Expectations
The Zeus CL should not be marketed as a dedicated vehicle carrier. It is a cargo ship first. Some small vehicles or objects may fit depending on the current patch and physical dimensions, but the safer product-page language is:
Buy the Zeus CL for freight, not as a guaranteed vehicle transport ship.
For vehicle transport, buyers should compare the C1 Spirit, Cutlass Black, Taurus, Freelancer MAX, C2 Hercules, or other ships with more direct vehicle-loading identities.
Direct Vehicle Comparisons
Zeus Mk II CL vs Zeus Mk II ES & MR
The Zeus series splits into distinct professional lines depending on your career goals in the verse.
| Ship | Best For | Main Difference |
|---|---|---|
| Zeus Mk II CL | Cargo hauling and freight work | 128 SCU and rear tractor beam setup. |
| Zeus Mk II ES | Exploration and scanning | Better if the buyer wants pathfinding, travel, and exploration identity. |
| Zeus Mk II MR | Bounty, EMP, quantum dampening, prisoner pods | Control and capture gameplay, not cargo efficiency. |
Choose the Zeus ES if you want exploration. Choose the Zeus MR to stop targets from moving. Choose the Zeus CL if cargo is the main reason to buy the ship.
Zeus Mk II CL vs C1 Spirit & Cutlass Black
RSI’s Q&A notes that the Zeus CL cargo variant carries more than twice the cargo of the C1, but the C1 can still appeal to players because of visibility, handling, layout, brand, and operating feel.
| Ship | Best For | Main Difference |
|---|---|---|
| Zeus Mk II CL | More cargo in a compact medium ship | 128 SCU and dedicated cargo focus. |
| C1 Spirit | Easier daily cargo and vehicle-friendly Crusader layout | Less cargo, but simpler and more open for many players. Fits Cyclone-sized vehicles easily. |
| Cutlass Black | General daily utility, vehicles, combat, and cargo | More flexible, but less cargo-focused overall. |
Choose the C1 Spirit if you want easier everyday utility and vehicle space. Choose the Cutlass Black if you want one rough daily ship. Choose the Zeus CL if cargo capacity is the main reason you are upgrading.
Zeus Mk II CL vs Freelancer MAX & Constellation Taurus
| Ship | Best For | Main Difference |
|---|---|---|
| Zeus Mk II CL | Modern RSI cargo, tractor beam, crew amenities | Newer-feeling medium freighter footprint. Easier to manage solo than larger frames. |
| Freelancer MAX | Older practical cargo hauler | Familiar MISC workhorse with strong hauling identity. Wide rear ramp layout. |
| Constellation Taurus | Larger cargo Connie with stronger firepower | More cargo, more ship size, more Constellation presence and firepower. |
Choose the Freelancer MAX if you like the classic MISC hauler style. Choose the Taurus if you want a bigger armed cargo ship. Choose the Zeus CL if you want a modern, compact medium hauler.
Zeus Mk II CL vs Mercury Star Runner, Starlancer MAX, Railen & C2
| Ship | Best For | Main Difference |
|---|---|---|
| Zeus Mk II CL | Medium freight and daily cargo | 128 SCU in a compact RSI ship. More cargo value than data-runners. |
| Mercury Star Runner | Courier, data-running identity, speed, and style | Better if the buyer wants Crusader courier gameplay. Less raw cargo than the CL. |
| Starlancer MAX | Larger MISC cargo hauling | Step up into a larger cargo ship with a significant scale upgrade. |
| Gatac Railen | Alien cargo hauling and Xi’an design | More exotic and more specialized in style compared to human freighters. |
| C2 Hercules | Heavy cargo and vehicle transport | Larger, far more cargo, better for big loads and heavy vehicles. |
Choose the Mercury Star Runner for courier style. Choose the Starlancer MAX if you want to step into a larger cargo ship. Choose the Railen if alien cargo identity matters more. Choose the C2 Hercules when the job is too big for a medium hauler. Choose the Zeus CL for practical RSI freight value.
Cargo, Combat, and Practical Expectations
The Zeus CL is practical, but it should not be sold as the best ship at every job.
If the buyer wants:
- cargo hauling, the Zeus CL is the right Zeus.
- exploration, choose the Zeus ES.
- bounty / interdiction, choose the Zeus MR.
- vehicle transport, compare C1, Cutlass Black, Taurus, or C2.
- heavy freight, compare C2, Caterpillar, Railen, Hull C, or Starlancer MAX.
- daily cargo with modern RSI style, choose Zeus CL.
The Zeus CL is valuable because it focuses the Zeus platform around freight, not because it replaces every cargo ship.

Zeus Mk II CL Strengths and Limitations
| Strategic Strengths | Operational Limitations |

| 128 SCU in a manageable medium ship. | Cargo hold requires planning; box size and layout matter. |
| Rear Size 2 tractor beam turret. | Tractor beam helps, but loading still depends on cargo-grid behavior. |
| Flight Ready and usable now. | Exact live cargo behavior can change by patch. |
| 1–3 crew gives solo and small-crew flexibility. | Full value is better with crew help. |
| Good crew amenities for a cargo ship. | Not a luxury ship or deep-space expedition platform. |
| Useful defensive weapons for a freighter. | Not the combat Zeus or a true gunship. |
| Modern RSI cargo identity. | Not as large as Taurus, Starlancer MAX, C2, Caterpillar, or Hull C. |
| Cargo-focused Zeus variant. | ES and MR are better for their own specialist roles. |
Who Should Buy the Zeus Mk II CL?
The Zeus Mk II CL is best for players who want a modern medium cargo ship with useful capacity, crew space, and a practical tractor beam. It is especially suitable for cargo traders, hauling-contract players, RSI fans, solo haulers who want room to grow, small org logistics teams, and players who think the C1 is too small but the Taurus or C2 feels too large.
It is also a useful fleet-building choice. The Zeus CL can serve as the freight ship in a mixed fleet while fighters handle escort, exploration ships find routes, and larger haulers handle bigger cargo jobs.
Players who want exploration should choose the Zeus ES. Players who want bounty and interdiction should choose the Zeus MR. Players who want vehicle transport should compare C1, Cutlass Black, Taurus, or C2. But for buyers who want the cargo Zeus, the RSI Zeus Mk II CL is the more direct choice.
