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.
Tous les Ships vendus par LTI Hangar viennent de notre propre stock. Aucun vendeur externe ni fournisseur tiers inconnu n’intervient dans la commande.
Chaque commande de Ship est traitée avec un suivi clair de la livraison, afin que le processus puisse être vérifié et retracé si notre support doit intervenir.
Nous offrons également une protection après-vente de 6 mois pour les problèmes éligibles liés à la livraison.
Grâce à notre propre stock, à une livraison traçable et à notre protection après-vente, l’achat est plus sûr que sur de nombreuses marketplaces tierces. C’est l’une des raisons pour lesquelles de nombreux joueurs choisissent LTI Hangar pour acheter leurs Ships Star Citizen.
Qu’est-ce que la protection après-vente de 6 mois ?Pourquoi les autres marketplaces ne peuvent-elles pas proposer cela ?
Dans le cas extrêmement rare où un problème survient avec un item pendant la livraison, ou jusqu’à 6 mois après la livraison, nous mènerons une vérification.
Si le problème est confirmé comme étant de notre responsabilité, nous vous proposerons soit un remplacement, soit un remboursement.
Pour nous aider à examiner le cas avec précision, il pourra vous être demandé de nous fournir des preuves pertinentes, comme des screenshots de votre RSI Hangar, les détails de commande ou les logs du RSI Hangar.
Le RSI Hangar Log permet de suivre l’état et l’historique de chaque Ship, notamment si l’item a été claim, échangé, melt, transféré ou modifié d’une autre manière après la livraison.
Nous examinerons les preuves fournies afin de déterminer la cause du problème.
Ce niveau de protection n’est pas courant sur de nombreuses marketplaces tierces, car elles dépendent souvent de vendeurs externes ou de sources de stock mélangées.
Chez LTI Hangar, tous les Ships proviennent de notre propre stock, et chaque commande dispose de records de livraison clairs. Cela nous permet d’offrir un support plus sûr, plus fiable et plus transparent.
Puis-je demander un remboursement après avoir claim le Ship, CCU, Paint ou Item ?
Une fois le RSI Gift claim, le Ship, CCU, Paint ou Item est lié au compte RSI qui l’a reçu.
En raison des limites du système de gifting de Star Citizen, un item déjà claim ne peut normalement pas être gift à nouveau, retourné, annulé ou relivré. Pour cette raison, les items déjà claim ne sont généralement pas éligibles à une annulation ou à un remboursement.
Une correction, un remplacement ou un remboursement ne peut être proposé que si nous confirmons que le problème vient de notre côté, par exemple si un mauvais item a été envoyé, s’il y a eu une erreur de livraison de commande, ou un autre problème de livraison vérifié causé par nous.

Veuillez nous contacter avec votre numéro de commande, l’e-mail utilisé lors du paiement, ainsi que des screenshots clairs de votre RSI Hangar.
Pourquoi les noms des Ships Star Citizen que j’ai reçus sont-ils différents ?
Un Standalone CCU’ed est un vaisseau ou un véhicule complet. Ce n’est pas une amélioration à appliquer !
CCU’ed signifie simplement que le vaisseau ou véhicule a été obtenu en améliorant un modèle plus petit vers celui que vous achetez.
Veuillez également noter que, dans l’e-mail cadeau, seul le vaisseau utilisé comme base de l’upgrade sera indiqué. Pas d’inquiétude : le vaisseau qui apparaîtra réellement dans votre hangar sera bien celui que vous avez commandé.
Par exemple, voici à quoi ressemble un Polaris CCU’ed dans le hangar sur le site RSI.

Anvil F7C-M Super Hornet Heartseeker Mk I Standalone Ship Gameplay Guide
The Anvil F7C-M Super Hornet Heartseeker Mk I is a limited-edition medium fighter built for Star Citizen players who want the classic Mk I Hornet frame, two-seat Super Hornet combat identity, and a more collectible Heartseeker finish. It is not a cargo ship, stealth ship, scanner ship, dropship, or Mk II upgrade kit. The Heartseeker Mk I is best understood as a special-edition Super Hornet Mk I for players who value both combat style and older Hornet collector appeal.
Official Galactapedia describes the F7C-M Super Hornet Heartseeker as a limited-edition medium fighter developed by Anvil Aerospace for the civilian market, based on the Super Hornet frame, fitted with near military-spec components and four Behring laser cannons. Current community reference also tracks the Heartseeker Mk I as Flight Ready, with 1–2 crew, 0 SCU cargo, and live reference data under version 4.8.2.
The Heartseeker Mk I is the classic collectible Super Hornet for players who want a two-seat Anvil fighter with special-edition identity — not cargo utility, stealth, or the newer Mk II frame.
Build Your Anvil Fighter Fleet with the Heartseeker Mk I
The Heartseeker Mk I is one of the more recognizable special-edition Hornets, especially for players who like the older Mk I silhouette and want something more collectible than the standard Super Hornet. If you are looking to acquire this limited-edition Anvil fighter, you can explore our available options in the Star Citizen Ships and Vehicles Collection.
F7C-M Super Hornet Heartseeker Mk I Key Specifications
| Specification | F7C-M Super Hornet Heartseeker Mk I | Gameplay Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Manufacturer | Anvil Aerospace | Classic human fighter manufacturer with clear UEE military heritage. |
| Role | Medium Fighter | Built for combat, not hauling, scanning, mining, salvage, or support gameplay. |
| Edition Type | Limited-edition Super Hornet Mk I collector variant | Adds Heartseeker styling and collector appeal to the classic Super Hornet Mk I identity, but it should not be treated as a Mk II upgrade or F7A replacement. |
| Status | Flight Ready | Current community data tracks the Heartseeker Mk I as Flight Ready. |
| Crew | 1–2 | Can be flown solo, but the Super Hornet identity is most useful with two-seat coordination. |
| Cargo Capacity | 0 SCU | No cargo trading, delivery, or hauling value. |
| Dimensions | 28.25m length / 25.5m width / 7.5m height | Larger old Hornet Mk I fighter footprint compared with newer compact Mk II references. |
| Current SCM Speed Reference | 219 m/s | Current community reference value; live handling can change with balance. |
| Special Loadout Identity | Heartseeker loadout and Behring cannon marketing | Part of the ship’s special-edition identity, but exact live weapons, mounts, and component behavior should be treated as patch-dependent. |
| Current Weapon Reference | S3 gimbal weapons, nose turret, S4 top hardpoint, missiles / rockets | Current reference data shows a more specific live-loadout structure, so exact weapon values should be treated as patch-specific. |
| Availability | Legacy Mk I / limited-availability collector context | Best positioned as an older collectible Hornet, while avoiding absolute claims about all future availability. |
| Core Gameplay | Two-seat medium fighter combat, Hornet collector value, Anvil combat style | Best for players who want classic Hornet identity with special-edition appeal. |
Note: Star Citizen ship specifications, weapon loadouts, component behavior, handling, armor, shields, and availability can change over time. Treat exact live values as current gameplay-reference information rather than permanent final values.
What Makes the Heartseeker Mk I Valuable?
The Heartseeker Mk I is valuable because it combines three things: the classic Super Hornet Mk I frame, a limited-edition Heartseeker identity, and a combat-focused two-seat Hornet layout. It is not just a normal fighter purchase. It is also a collector-focused purchase.
The official Heartseeker description focuses on near military-spec components and Behring laser cannon firepower, while Galactapedia describes it as a limited-edition medium fighter marketed toward combat enthusiasts. Current community reference describes it as a special edition of the F7C-M Super Hornet Mk I, with a unique emblem near the cockpit, upgraded components, and a top turret replaced by a Size 4 weapon hardpoint.
The Heartseeker Mk I is not the Hornet you buy only for raw stats. It is the Hornet you buy because it is a classic Mk I Super Hornet with special-edition combat and collector appeal.
Medium Fighter Gameplay Role
The Heartseeker Mk I’s main role is medium fighter combat. It sits in the Hornet family as a combat-forward, two-seat Anvil fighter that prioritizes weapons, fighting presence, and pilot-plus-co-pilot value.
In practical gameplay, the Heartseeker Mk I fits several roles:
| Gameplay Use | Why the Heartseeker Mk I Fits |
|---|---|
| Two-seat fighter combat | The Super Hornet layout supports a second seat for shared combat responsibilities. |
| PvE bounty missions | Fighter identity and weapon-focused loadout make it suitable for combat missions. |
| Escort duty | Compact Anvil fighter profile works well around cargo, support, or fleet ships. |
| Hornet collection | Mk I Hornets are now tied strongly to legacy and collector value. |
| Special-edition ownership | Heartseeker styling and loadout make it more distinctive than the standard Super Hornet Mk I. |
| Anvil fleet building | Natural fit for players who collect Hornets, F8C, Hurricane, Gladiator, or other Anvil fighters. |
The Heartseeker Mk I should be described as a limited-edition two-seat medium fighter, not a stealth ship, scanner ship, or general-purpose daily driver.
Limited-Edition Heartseeker Identity
The Heartseeker Mk I’s most important selling point is not just that it is a Super Hornet. It is a Heartseeker. That means special-edition presentation, collector appeal, and a more combat-focused identity.
Official Galactapedia calls the Heartseeker a limited-edition medium fighter and says it is based on the Super Hornet frame. Current reference data describes the Mk I Heartseeker as a special edition with a unique emblem and upgraded combat loadout identity.
The Heartseeker Mk I is best sold as a collectible combat Hornet, not as a simple replacement for every newer Hornet variant.
That is important because many buyers will compare it with the newer Super Hornet Mk II. The Mk II may feel more current, but the Heartseeker Mk I has older limited-edition value.
Mk I Collector Value and Retirement Context
The Heartseeker Mk I has additional value because it belongs to the older Hornet Mk I family. Official RSI material said the Hornet Mk I chassis was being wound down, with Invictus Launch Week 2954 described as the final time the Hornet Mk I would be available on the civilian market. It also said Mk I Hornets would remain flyable and supported, with bug fixes, a planned gold-standard pass, future paints, and other future acquisition plans not yet fully detailed.
The Heartseeker Mk I is a flyable classic Hornet with collector weight, not a discontinued dead ship.
A practical Heartseeker Mk I purchase is usually about more than live combat numbers. In game, it still behaves like a compact Hornet-family fighter: it has no cargo, no living space, and no broad utility role. Its extra appeal comes from the older Mk I silhouette, the Heartseeker presentation, and the feeling of owning a classic Super Hornet special edition after the Mk I lineup moved into a legacy context. Players who only want the newest Hornet platform may prefer the Super Hornet Mk II. Players who enjoy older Anvil history, limited-edition variants, and collectible fighter identity will understand why the Heartseeker Mk I remains attractive.
That is the safest way to explain it. Do not say the ship is unsupported. Do not say it is permanently impossible to acquire in every future scenario. Say it is part of the retired Mk I legacy lineup and should be valued partly as a classic Anvil collectible.
Two-Seat Super Hornet Gameplay
The Heartseeker Mk I uses the Super Hornet concept: a Hornet with a second seat. Current Super Hornet Mk I reference material describes the F7C-M as a civilian variant that expanded the cockpit for a co-pilot and split logistical and combat responsibilities between two crew.
The Heartseeker Mk I is most useful when the second seat is treated as part of the ship’s combat identity, not just an extra passenger slot.
Solo pilots can fly it, but the Heartseeker’s Super Hornet identity makes the most sense when the buyer wants a classic two-seat medium fighter.
Weapons and Loadout Expectations
The Heartseeker Mk I is associated with a more combat-focused weapon package. Official Galactapedia says it is outfitted with four Behring laser cannons, while current community data lists a live setup including S3 gimbaled weapons, a nose turret, a Size 4 top hardpoint, and missile / rocket equipment.
The Heartseeker Mk I should be marketed around its special combat loadout identity, but exact weapons and component values should always be checked against the current live patch.
This avoids overpromising. Star Citizen weapon sizes, default loadouts, mounts, and balance can change across versions.
Direct Vehicle Comparisons
Heartseeker Mk I vs Standard Super Hornet Mk I
The standard Super Hornet Mk I and the Heartseeker Mk I are very close, but the Heartseeker is the special-edition version.
| Ship | Best For | Main Difference |
|---|---|---|
| F7C-M Heartseeker Mk I | Collector combat version | Special-edition Heartseeker identity, near military-spec / Behring cannon marketing, unique emblem, and more collector appeal. |
| F7C-M Super Hornet Mk I | Classic two-seat gameplay | Standard Mk I Super Hornet identity without the Heartseeker special-edition presentation. |
Choose the standard Super Hornet Mk I if you only need the classic two-seat Hornet. Choose the Heartseeker Mk I if you want the special-edition collector version.
Heartseeker Mk I vs Super Hornet Mk II
This is the most important comparison for current buyers. Official RSI material announced that Mk II editions of the Super Hornet, Ghost, and Tracker would follow as the Mk I lineup was being wound down. RSI’s Super Hornet Mk II page describes that newer model as the only Hornet model with two seats and a dedicated gunner’s turret.
| Ship | Best For | Main Difference |
|---|---|---|
| Heartseeker Mk I | Classic Mk I collector value | Older Hornet frame, special-edition status, retired Mk I legacy appeal with a stronger collector argument. |
| Super Hornet Mk II | Newer Hornet platform | More current Mk II design and modernized Hornet family direction; better if the buyer wants the current-generation Super Hornet direction. |
Choose the Heartseeker Mk I for classic limited-edition Hornet value. Choose the Super Hornet Mk II for the newer two-seat Hornet platform.
Heartseeker Mk I vs Heartseeker Mk II
The Heartseeker Mk I and Heartseeker Mk II should not be described as the same product.
| Version | Best For | Main Difference |
|---|---|---|
| Heartseeker Mk I | Classic standalone special-edition Mk I fighter | A full Mk I ship / special edition tied to the older Super Hornet frame. |
| Heartseeker Mk II | Mk II Hornet upgrade-kit identity | Current community reference describes the Mk II Heartseeker as an aftermarket upgrade kit for the F7 Hornet Mk II series, including a bespoke turret and classic pin-up livery. |
Heartseeker Mk I is the classic special-edition Mk I ship. Heartseeker Mk II is better treated as a newer Mk II upgrade-kit / livery concept, depending on the listing. This distinction matters a lot for store clarity. Do not mix Mk I standalone listings with Mk II kit listings.
Heartseeker Mk I vs F7C Hornet Mk I
The F7C Hornet Mk I is the baseline civilian Hornet. The Heartseeker Mk I is the two-seat special-edition Super Hornet.
| Ship | Best For | Main Difference |
|---|---|---|
| Heartseeker Mk I | Two-seat combat and collector appeal | More combat-focused and special-edition focused. |
| F7C Hornet Mk I | Baseline classic Hornet ownership | Simpler civilian Hornet identity with less special-edition value. |
Choose the F7C Hornet Mk I if you want the classic baseline Hornet. Choose the Heartseeker Mk I if you want the collectible two-seat combat version.
Heartseeker Mk I vs F7A Hornet
The F7A is the military Hornet identity. The Heartseeker Mk I is a civilian-market special-edition Super Hornet.
| Ship | Best For | Main Difference |
|---|---|---|
| Heartseeker Mk I | Civilian limited-edition combat Hornet | Special-edition civilian Super Hornet with collector value. |
| F7A Hornet | Military Hornet identity | UEE Navy space-superiority fighter identity, not the same civilian product category. |
Choose the Heartseeker Mk I if you want a civilian special-edition Super Hornet. Choose the F7A if your priority is military Hornet identity.
Heartseeker Mk I vs Ghost and Tracker
The Hornet variants are easier to explain by role. Choose Heartseeker for collectible combat style, Ghost for stealth, Tracker for radar, and F7C for the basic Hornet experience.
| Variant | Best For | Main Difference |
|---|---|---|
| Heartseeker Mk I | Combat and collector appeal | Special-edition Super Hornet combat identity. |
| Ghost Mk I / Mk II | Stealth Hornet gameplay | Better for signature-reduction and stealth-oriented pilots. |
| Tracker Mk I / Mk II | Radar and pursuit role | Better for tracking, radar, and support-style Hornet gameplay. |
| F7C Hornet | Baseline Hornet | Simpler and less specialized. |
Solo & Utility Expectations
Solo Gameplay Expectations
The Heartseeker Mk I can be flown solo, but it is still a Super Hornet. That means part of the ship’s design value comes from the second seat and shared responsibility. Solo Heartseeker Mk I is usable, but the ship makes the most sense for players who like two-seat Hornet combat or collector ownership. If a buyer wants the cleanest solo-only Hornet, the F7C or F7A may feel simpler. If the buyer wants classic Hornet history and a second-seat fighter, the Heartseeker Mk I is easier to recommend.
Cargo and Utility Expectations
The Heartseeker Mk I has 0 SCU cargo, so it should not be described as a cargo runner, delivery ship, vehicle carrier, mining ship, salvage ship, or daily utility platform. The Heartseeker Mk I is a fighter only. It is not for hauling, box delivery, vehicle transport, medical support, mining, salvage, or trading. Its value is combat identity and collector status, not practical utility.
Combat Balance Expectations
The Heartseeker Mk I has clear classic fighter appeal, but product pages should avoid promising that it will always be better than newer Hornets or other medium fighters. The ship’s practical value depends on current Hornet tuning, weapon behavior, armor, shields, handling, and whether the pilot uses the ship well. The Heartseeker Mk I has clear classic fighter appeal, but its live combat value depends on current patch balance, loadout choices, pilot skill, and whether the player values Mk I collector status. This is especially important because the Mk II Hornet family now exists and may receive more attention in future updates.

Heartseeker Mk I vs Other Star Citizen Fighters
| Ship Fleet Option | Primary Core Role | Compared with Heartseeker Mk I |
|---|---|---|
| F7C-M Super Hornet Mk I | Classic Two-Seat Hornet | Similar base role, but Heartseeker adds special-edition collector identity. Standard variant is better for players who only want the base classic role. Choose Heartseeker Mk I for the collector version. |
| F7C-M Super Hornet Mk II | Newer Two-Seat Hornet | Mk II is the modern platform with current-generation design direction. Heartseeker Mk I is the legacy collectible that stands out for players who value the older Mk I silhouette and limited-edition history. |
| F7C Hornet Mk I | Baseline Classic Hornet | Simpler and less special. Heartseeker is more combat-focused and collectible. |
| F7A Hornet Mk I / Mk II | Military Hornet | Stronger military space-superiority flavor. Heartseeker serves a different profile focused on civilian limited-edition collector value. |
| F7C-S Ghost | Stealth Fighter | Ghost is stealth-focused with signature-reduction metrics. Heartseeker is pure combat and collector-focused. |
| F7C-R Tracker | Radar / Pursuit | Tracker is utility-sensor and reconnaissance focused. Heartseeker is direct heavy combat focused. |
| Anvil Hurricane | Two-Seat Gunfighter | Hurricane is more turret-centered for raw gunner output. Heartseeker is more deeply rooted in classic Hornet-family mechanics. |
| RSI Scorpius | Two-Seat Heavy Fighter | Scorpius is larger and turret-heavy with its X-wing design. Heartseeker is a compact classic medium fighter. |
| F8C Lightning | Elite Heavy Fighter | F8C is a broader high-end solo powerhouse. Heartseeker Mk I is a more collector-specialized dual-seat machine. |
Heartseeker Mk I Strengths and Limitations
| Strategic Strengths | Operational Limitations |
|---|---|
| Limited-edition Super Hornet Mk I identity. | Older Mk I platform, not the newer Mk II frame. |
| Clear collector appeal after Mk I retirement context. | No longer normally available in current references. |
| Two-seat Super Hornet layout supports pilot + co-pilot gameplay. | Less attractive if the buyer never uses the second seat. |
| Near military-spec / Behring cannon marketing gives it a clear combat image. | Exact live weapons and tuning can change by patch. |
| Classic Anvil Hornet style and history. | No cargo, no utility, no bed, and no daily-driver role. |
| Good fit for Hornet collectors and Anvil fans. | Players who only want newest performance may prefer Mk II or F8C options. |
| Distinct from Ghost and Tracker because it is combat-focused. | Not stealthy and not radar-specialized. |
Who Should Buy the Heartseeker Mk I?
The Heartseeker Mk I is best for players who want a classic Anvil Hornet with limited-edition collector value. It is especially suitable for Hornet fans, Anvil collectors, players who like the old Mk I silhouette, two-seat fighter pilots, and buyers who want a more distinctive version of the Super Hornet Mk I.
It is also a good choice for players who care about history. The Hornet Mk I lineup has been moved into a legacy / retired context, while RSI has confirmed that Mk I Hornets remain flyable and supported. That makes the Heartseeker Mk I attractive not only as a fighter, but also as a piece of Anvil’s older fighter lineage.
Players who want the newest Hornet platform should compare the Super Hornet Mk II. Players who want stealth should compare the Ghost. Players who want radar and tracking should compare the Tracker. Players who want military identity should compare the F7A. But for a buyer who wants a limited-edition, classic two-seat Hornet, the F7C-M Super Hornet Heartseeker Mk I is one of the more direct collector-fighter choices in Star Citizen.

Is the Heartseeker Mk I better than the Super Hornet Mk II?
It depends on the buyer. The Heartseeker Mk I is better for legacy collector value and classic Mk I ownership. The Super Hornet Mk II is better if the buyer wants the newer Hornet platform and current-generation design direction.
Should I choose the Heartseeker Mk I or Super Hornet Mk II?
Choose the Heartseeker Mk I if you want a classic limited-edition Super Hornet Mk I with older Hornet collector appeal, Heartseeker styling, and legacy Mk I identity.

Yes. It can be used for PvE fighter and bounty gameplay, especially by players who like the Hornet family. Exact performance depends on current patch balance, weapons, and pilot skill.

The Heartseeker Mk I is better for direct combat identity. The Tracker is better if the buyer wants radar, pursuit, and reconnaissance-style Hornet gameplay.
Is the Heartseeker Mk I better than the F7A Hornet?
They serve different buyer profiles. The F7A is better for military Hornet identity, while the Heartseeker Mk I is better for civilian special-edition Super Hornet collector value.
Does the Heartseeker Mk I have a bed or interior?
No. The Heartseeker Mk I is a compact fighter, not a living-space ship. Buyers who want beds, interior comfort, or long-range living support should compare ships like the Vanguard or Guardian instead.
Does the Heartseeker Mk I have good long-term value?
Yes. The Heartseeker Mk I has collector-focused long-term value for Hornet collectors, Anvil fans, and players who want a limited-edition Mk I Super Hornet. Its main limitation is clear: it is an older, combat-only fighter, so its value is strongest for buyers who care about classic Hornet identity and collector appeal.
