FAQ — Questions fréquentes
Combien de temps prend généralement la livraison ?
Les commandes de Ships, CCU, Paints et Items Star Citizen sont généralement livrées sous 20 à 30 minutes.
Dans de rares cas, la livraison peut prendre jusqu’à 12 heures en raison du volume de commandes, des limites de gifting RSI, du statut du compte ou d’une vérification manuelle nécessaire.
Dans la plupart des cas, nous ne laissons pas les livraisons de Ships dépasser 12 heures, sauf en cas de problème exceptionnel, comme une limitation du système RSI, une restriction de compte ou une vérification client requise.
Ma commande de Ship est-elle protégée ?
Oui. La sécurité et la fiabilité sont nos priorités absolues.

Puis-je demander un remboursement après avoir claim le Ship, CCU, Paint ou Item ?

RSI Constellation Taurus Standalone Ship Gameplay Guide
The RSI Constellation Taurus is the cargo-focused variant of the Constellation series, built for Star Citizen players who want a practical multi-crew hauler with useful pilot firepower, a large cargo hold, a shielded security compartment, and tractor-beam cargo support. It is not the combat-focused Andromeda, the exploration-focused Aquila, or the luxury Phoenix. The Taurus is best understood as the working Constellation: less flashy than its siblings, but more useful for players who want to move cargo and still defend themselves.
RSI’s official Taurus page describes the ship as a configurable Constellation without all the “bells-and-whistles,” with 168 SCU of cargo space, while RSI’s newer cargo guide lists the Constellation Taurus as a dedicated freighter variant with 174 SCU total cargo capacity. The safest way to explain this for buyers is 168 SCU main cargo plus the small shielded hold / current total reference around 174 SCU, depending on how the current patch displays cargo.
The clean product-page positioning is simple:
The Constellation Taurus is the Connie you choose when you want cargo value first, while keeping enough firepower and crew utility to survive normal trade routes.
Build Your RSI Cargo Fleet with the Constellation Taurus
The Taurus is one of the more practical Constellation variants for everyday cargo use. If you are looking to acquire this RSI cargo ship, you can explore our available options in the Star Citizen Ships and Vehicles Collection.
Constellation Taurus Key Specifications
| Specification | Constellation Taurus | Gameplay Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Manufacturer | Roberts Space Industries | Classic Human manufacturer behind the Constellation line. |
| Role | Freight / Cargo Hauler | The Taurus is the cargo-focused Constellation variant. |
| Status | Flight Ready / current gameplay reference | Current reference data lists the Taurus as Flight Ready under 4.8.2 live data. |
| Cargo Capacity | 168 SCU main cargo / 174 SCU current total reference | Practical cargo capacity is the main reason to buy the Taurus; explain the 168 / 174 SCU difference clearly so buyers do not confuse main cargo space with total current reference. |
| Crew | Small multi-crew Connie profile | Works solo, but benefits from turret, tractor, and systems support. |
| Dimensions | 70m length / 27.75m width / 15.25m height current reference | Large enough for serious cargo, still smaller than true heavy haulers. |
| Tractor Beam | Lower turret replaced by tractor-beam cargo support | Improves cargo-handling identity, but it also means the Taurus gives up a lower combat turret compared with more combat-focused layouts. |
| Security Hold | Shielded / security cargo area reference | Adds discreet-cargo identity, but shielded cargo behavior should be treated as patch-dependent and not a guarantee of risk-free smuggling. |
| Snub Fighter | No Merlin-style rear snub | The Taurus trades the classic Constellation snub-fighter identity for more cargo space and cargo-focused utility. |
| Weapons | 4× Size 5 weapon mounts, manned turret, missiles current reference | Useful self-defense for a cargo ship, but not the combat Connie. |
| Core Gameplay | Cargo trading, hauling contracts, multi-role cargo, small-crew freight, defensive hauling | Best for players who want practical money-making utility. |
Note: Star Citizen cargo values, tractor-beam behavior, weapon balance, cargo grids, shielded cargo behavior, and loading systems can change between patches. Treat exact live values as current gameplay-reference information rather than permanent final numbers.
What Makes the Constellation Taurus Valuable?
The Taurus is valuable because it gives players a practical bridge between smaller daily ships and much larger cargo ships. It carries far more than small multi-role ships, has better self-defense than many pure haulers, and still feels easier to own than ships like the C2 Hercules, Caterpillar, Hull C, or Railen.
The Taurus also makes a very clear trade: it gives up the Constellation snub fighter and some combat / luxury / exploration features to become the cargo Connie. Current reference material describes the Taurus as trading side missile racks and the snub fighter for additional cargo space, cargo release functionality, and a reinforced security hold.
The Taurus is not the fanciest Constellation. It is the one many players choose because it makes practical sense.
That is the core buyer message. The Taurus is a working ship.
Cargo Hauling Gameplay Role
The Taurus’ main role is cargo hauling. RSI’s cargo guide calls it a dedicated freighter variant of the Constellation series and positions it for transport and hauling operations.
In practical gameplay, the Taurus fits several roles:
| Gameplay Use | Why the Taurus Fits |
|---|---|
| Cargo trading | Useful cargo capacity makes it a practical step up from smaller haulers. |
| Hauling contracts | Useful for players who want meaningful cargo jobs without moving to capital-scale freight. |
| Daily cargo work | Easier to live with than larger heavy haulers. |
| Small crew hauling | Pilot, turret gunner, tractor operator, and cargo manager all have useful jobs. |
| Defensive cargo runs | Pilot guns and turret support help it survive better than fragile haulers. |
| Smaller vehicle / utility transport | The cargo bay can be useful for practical loading, though buyers should confirm current vehicle fit by patch. |
The Taurus should be described as a cargo-first Constellation, not a general replacement for every Connie variant.
168 SCU / 174 SCU Cargo Capacity Explained
The Taurus cargo number can confuse customers because different RSI material may show it in different ways. The official Taurus pledge page highlights 168 SCU cargo space, while RSI’s cargo guide lists the Constellation Taurus at 174 SCU.
For a product page, the cleanest wording is:
The Taurus is commonly understood as 168 SCU main cargo space, with current total cargo references around 174 SCU when the shielded / security hold is included.
This avoids customer confusion and keeps the copy honest.
A buyer-facing sentence:
Buy the Taurus for practical cargo volume, not for the highest theoretical SCU number in the game.
For players who want larger freight, C2 Hercules, Caterpillar, Railen, Hull C, and Starlancer MAX become stronger comparisons.
Tractor Beam Cargo Support
One of the Taurus’ useful practical advantages is its tractor-beam cargo support. Current reference material says the lower manned turret guns are replaced with tractor beams, allowing easier cargo transfer on and off the ship.
A clean product-page sentence:
The Taurus is not just a ship with a bigger hold; it also gives the crew a cargo-handling tool that makes the hauler role feel more complete.
This matters for buyers who care about loading and unloading, not only the cargo capacity number.
Shielded Security Hold
The Taurus has a security-focused cargo feature that separates it from simple open cargo haulers. Current reference material describes a security hold reinforced with DoubleBlind advanced tech plating, intended to block most scans without creating an obvious blind spot.
A safe customer-facing sentence:
The Taurus has a discreet-cargo identity, but buyers should treat shielded cargo behavior as patch-dependent and avoid assuming it guarantees risk-free smuggling.
That keeps the page useful without overpromising illegal or stealth cargo outcomes.
Firepower and Self-Defense
The Taurus is not the combat Connie, but it still hits hard for a cargo ship. Current reference material lists four Size 5 weapon mounts, a manned turret with Size 3 weapons, missiles, and a tractor-beam turret in place of the lower gun turret.
A practical combat expectation:
| Combat Feature | Gameplay Meaning |
|---|---|
| 4× Size 5 pilot weapon mounts | Strong forward pressure for a cargo ship. |
| Top manned turret | Gives a second player a defensive role. |
| Missiles | Adds threat against attackers. |
| Tractor beam lower turret | Better for cargo work, weaker than a second combat turret. |
A clean product-page sentence:
The Taurus can defend a cargo run, but it is not the best Constellation for fighting.
Players who want combat should compare the Andromeda. Players who want cargo should stay focused on the Taurus.
No Snub Fighter: Why That Matters
The Taurus does not carry the rear snub fighter like the Andromeda. Current reference material explains that the Taurus trades the snub fighter for additional cargo space and cargo-focused systems.
The Taurus gives up the cool snub-fighter fantasy so it can be the better working hauler.
That trade is worth it for cargo players. It may not be worth it for buyers who specifically want the full “classic Constellation with Merlin” experience.
Solo and Small-Crew Gameplay
The Taurus is one of the more solo-friendly large ships, but it is not purely a solo ship. A solo pilot gets the main flight, forward guns, cargo bay, and trade value. A small crew makes the ship better.
A practical Taurus crew may include:
| Crew Role | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Pilot / Owner | Flies the ship, chooses routes, manages risk, and controls main guns. |
| Turret Gunner | Helps defend the ship during travel or attack. |
| Tractor Operator | Helps load and unload cargo faster. |
| Cargo Manager | Handles route planning, cargo selection, and market decisions. |
| Escort Pilot | Adds protection when the cargo value is high. |
A clean product-page sentence:
The Taurus is one of the better Connies for solo owners, but it feels more valuable when one extra crew member helps with defense or cargo handling.
Daily Use and Player Experience
The Taurus works well because it has a simple purpose. Many ships ask the buyer to imagine a future profession or a large organization. The Taurus is easier to understand: buy cargo, move cargo, protect cargo, sell cargo.
A real player-use angle:
The Taurus is good for players who want to log in, run cargo, do hauling missions, carry some supplies, and still have enough weapons to avoid feeling helpless.
A practical Taurus session should feel like a working cargo run, not a luxury trip or combat patrol. The pilot chooses a route, checks the cargo value, loads the ship, and decides whether the profit is worth the risk. The tractor beam helps the Taurus feel more like a real hauler, while the shielded hold gives it a discreet-cargo identity without making risky cargo safe by default. In solo use, the Taurus is manageable, but valuable cargo runs become more comfortable with a turret gunner, cargo helper, or escort. In real use, the Taurus rewards players who want practical hauling, steady money-making, and a familiar RSI ship more than players looking for the full combat Connie experience.
Direct Vehicle Comparisons
Taurus vs Andromeda
This is the most important Constellation comparison. Choose the Andromeda for combat-focused Connie gameplay. Choose the Taurus for cargo-first Connie gameplay.
| Ship | Best For | Main Difference |
|---|---|---|
| Taurus | Cargo hauling and practical money-making | More cargo-focused, no snub, tractor beam, security hold. |
| Constellation Andromeda | Combat multi-role and classic Connie identity | More combat-focused, includes P-52 Merlin snub, more missile-heavy identity. |
Taurus vs Aquila & Phoenix
The Aquila is the exploration Constellation, while the Phoenix is the luxury Constellation variant.
| Ship | Best For | Main Difference |
|---|---|---|
| Taurus | Cargo, hauling, practical trade | More cargo-focused and better for everyday money-making. |
| Constellation Aquila | Exploration, scouting, and rover-supported travel | Better for players who want the explorer Connie role. |
| Constellation Phoenix | VIP travel and luxury touring | Premium interior, P-72 / Lynx identity, luxury passenger experience. |
Choose the Aquila for exploration. Choose the Phoenix if you want luxury. Choose the Taurus if you want practical utility and work. The Aquila is more romantic. The Taurus is more practical.
Taurus vs C2 Hercules & Caterpillar
| Ship | Best For | Main Difference |
|---|---|---|
| Taurus | Medium-large cargo, small crew, daily hauling | Easier and cheaper to operate than a huge hauler with useful pilot firepower. |
| C2 Hercules | Heavy cargo and vehicle transport | Better for large loads, vehicles, and bigger transport jobs. |
| Caterpillar | Larger Drake cargo operations | More industrial, more cargo-focused, and more hauler-specialized. |
Choose the Taurus if you want a practical cargo Connie. Choose the C2 if you want heavy transport scale. Choose the Taurus if you want practical cargo with self-defense. Choose the Caterpillar if you want a dedicated Drake freighter.
Taurus vs Starlancer MAX & Railen
| Ship | Best For | Main Difference |
|---|---|---|
| Taurus | Classic Connie cargo, useful guns, shielded hold | More familiar, more direct, and easier to explain with classic RSI identity. |
| Starlancer MAX | Newer medium-large cargo gameplay | RSI’s Starlancer MAX Q&A lists 224 SCU total capacity, making it larger on paper. |
| Railen | Alien cargo hauling and Xi’an style | More distinctive and more exotic as a cargo ship. |
Choose the Taurus for the classic armed cargo Connie. Choose the Starlancer MAX if you want a newer cargo ship with more SCU. Choose the Taurus for practical cargo. Choose the Railen if alien design and cargo personality matter more.
Taurus vs Mercury Star Runner
The Mercury Star Runner is a courier / data ship with cargo. The Taurus is a cargo ship with defensive utility.
| Ship | Best For | Main Difference |
|---|---|---|
| Taurus | Cargo hauling and practical freight | Better if the buyer wants cargo capacity first. |
| Mercury Star Runner | Courier, data-running identity, fast transport style | Better if the buyer wants Crusader courier gameplay rather than Connie hauling. |
Choose the MSR for courier style. Choose the Taurus for cargo value.
Cargo, Combat, and Utility Expectations
The Taurus is versatile, but it should not be sold as the best ship at everything.
If the buyer wants:
- cargo value, Taurus is one of the practical Constellation choices.
- combat, Andromeda or dedicated fighters make more sense.
- exploration, Aquila or Carrack make more sense.
- luxury, Phoenix, 600i Touring, or 890 Jump make more sense.
- heavy vehicle transport, C2 is a better fit.
The Taurus is valuable because it is practical, not because it replaces every specialist ship.

Constellation Taurus Strengths and Limitations
| Strategic Strengths | Operational Limitations |
|---|---|
| Cargo-focused Constellation variant. | No rear snub fighter. |
| 168 SCU main cargo / 174 SCU current RSI cargo-guide total. | Not as large as C2, Caterpillar, Railen, Hull C, or Starlancer MAX. |
| Tractor-beam turret supports cargo handling. | Lower turret is not a combat turret. |
| Shielded security hold adds discreet-cargo identity. | Shielded cargo behavior can change by patch. |
| Useful pilot weapons for a cargo ship. | Not the best Connie for combat. |
| Practical solo or small-crew ship. | Full cargo workflow still benefits from crew help. |
| Good daily hauling value. | Not a luxury, exploration, or medical ship. |
Who Should Buy the Constellation Taurus?
The Constellation Taurus is best for players who want a practical cargo ship with useful self-defense and small-crew flexibility. It is especially suitable for cargo traders, hauling-contract players, RSI fans, solo haulers who want room to grow, small org logistics players, and buyers who want a useful everyday ship without jumping straight into heavy freighter size.
It is also a good choice for players who want one ship that feels useful often. The Taurus can haul cargo, carry supplies, defend itself, support cargo loading with a tractor beam, and still feel like a real Constellation.
Players who want more combat should compare the Andromeda. Players who want exploration should compare the Aquila. Players who want luxury should compare the Phoenix. Players who want larger cargo scale should compare the C2, Caterpillar, Railen, Hull C, or Starlancer MAX. But for buyers who want a practical Constellation focused on cargo, the RSI Constellation Taurus is the more direct choice.
Constellation Taurus FAQ
Is the Constellation Taurus worth buying in Star Citizen?
Yes, if you want a practical cargo-focused Constellation with useful self-defense, tractor-beam cargo support, and a large cargo hold. It is not ideal if you want luxury, exploration, medical gameplay, or the best combat Connie.
Is the Constellation Taurus Flight Ready?
Yes. Current reference data lists the Constellation Taurus as Flight Ready, with live reference data under version 4.8.2.
What is the main role of the Taurus?
The Taurus is the freight / cargo variant of the Constellation series. RSI’s cargo guide describes it as a dedicated freighter variant built for transport and hauling operations.
How much cargo does the Taurus have?
RSI’s Taurus pledge page highlights 168 SCU cargo space, while RSI’s cargo guide lists the Taurus at 174 SCU total. For product copy, the safest explanation is 168 SCU main cargo with current total references around 174 SCU when the security / shielded hold is counted.
Does the Taurus have a shielded cargo hold?
Yes. Current reference material describes the Taurus with a reinforced security hold using DoubleBlind tech plating, designed to block most scans without creating an obvious blind spot.
Does the Taurus have a tractor beam?
Yes. The Taurus replaces the lower manned turret guns with tractor beams to help transfer cargo on and off the ship.
Does the Taurus have a snub fighter?
No. Current reference material says the Taurus trades the snub fighter for additional cargo space and cargo-focused systems.
Should I choose the Taurus or Andromeda?
Choose the Taurus if you mainly want cargo trading, hauling contracts, tractor-beam cargo support, shielded cargo identity, and better practical money-making value inside the Constellation family. Choose the Andromeda if you want the classic combat-focused Constellation with stronger missile identity and a Merlin snub fighter. The Taurus is the better cargo Connie, while the Andromeda is the better combat Connie.
Is the Taurus good for solo players?
Yes, the Taurus is one of the more solo-friendly large cargo ships. A solo pilot can fly it and use the main guns, but a second player helps with turret defense, tractor-beam cargo work, and general safety.
Is the Taurus good for cargo trading?
Yes. Cargo hauling is the Taurus’ main reason to exist. It is one of the most practical Constellation variants for trade and hauling because it gives up luxury, exploration, and snub-fighter features for cargo value.
Is the Taurus good for combat?
It can defend itself well for a cargo ship, but it is not the best combat Constellation. Current reference material lists strong pilot guns, a manned turret, and missiles, but the Taurus’ main job is cargo.
What weapons does the Taurus have?
Current reference material lists four Size 5 weapon mounts, a manned turret with Size 3 guns, missile racks, and a tractor-beam lower turret instead of a second combat turret.
Is the Taurus better than the Andromeda?
The Taurus is better for cargo. The Andromeda is better for combat and classic Constellation snub-fighter identity. Current Andromeda reference material lists the P-52 Merlin and stronger multi-role combat identity.
Is the Taurus better than the Aquila?
The Taurus is better for cargo and hauling. The Aquila is better if the buyer wants exploration and scouting.
Is the Taurus better than the Phoenix?
The Taurus is better for cargo value. The Phoenix is better for luxury touring, VIP travel, and premium interior experience.
Is the Taurus better than the C2 Hercules?
The Taurus is easier and more manageable for smaller cargo work. The C2 is better for heavy transport, vehicle hauling, and larger cargo operations.
Is the Taurus better than the Caterpillar?
The Taurus is better if you want a smaller, more armed, more flexible cargo ship. The Caterpillar is better if you want a dedicated Drake freight ship with larger cargo identity.
Is the Taurus better than the Starlancer MAX?
The Taurus is better if you want the classic RSI cargo Connie. The Starlancer MAX is better if you want a newer cargo ship with more listed capacity; RSI’s Q&A lists the Starlancer MAX with 224 SCU total.
Is the Taurus better than the Railen?
The Taurus is better for practical Human cargo gameplay. The Railen is better if the buyer wants alien cargo design and Xi’an style.
Is the Taurus better than the Mercury Star Runner?
The Taurus is better for cargo capacity and straightforward hauling. The Mercury Star Runner is better for courier style, data-running identity, and faster Crusader transport gameplay.
Can the Taurus carry vehicles?
It can carry some vehicles depending on the current patch, vehicle dimensions, and loading behavior, but it should not be sold as a dedicated vehicle transport. Buyers who mainly want vehicle hauling should compare the C2 Hercules.
Does the Taurus have beds?
The Taurus belongs to the Constellation family and supports crew travel, but it should be sold as a cargo ship rather than a living-space or touring ship. Buyers who want luxury or long-range comfort should compare Phoenix, 600i, Carrack, or 890 Jump.
Does the Taurus have good long-term value?
Yes. The Taurus has practical long-term value because it is cargo-focused, small-crew friendly, and still armed enough to feel useful outside pure freight routes. Its main limitation is clear: it is the working cargo Connie, not the combat, exploration, or luxury Constellation.
