Comment apply un CCU (Ship Upgrade)
Si vous avez acheté un Cross Chassis Upgrade (CCU) pour upgrade un Ship vers un autre, voici les étapes à suivre :
1. Claim l’item
Suivez les étapes de livraison ci-dessus pour ajouter le CCU à votre RSI Hangar.
2. Trouver le CCU dans le Hangar

3. Apply Upgrade
Cliquez sur la flèche à côté de votre CCU pour ouvrir les détails, puis cliquez sur « Apply Upgrade ».

Note importante :
L’assurance, comme la LTI, ainsi que les autres bonus du Ship de base seront conservés et transférés vers le nouveau Ship.

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.

Crusader Mercury Star Runner Standalone Ship Gameplay Guide
The Crusader Mercury Star Runner, often called the MSR, is a fast courier and data-running ship built for Star Citizen players who want cargo utility, stylish Crusader design, multi-crew gameplay, and a ship that feels more agile and personal than many larger freighters. Designed by Crusader Industries, the Mercury is not a pure cargo hauler, combat gunship, or exploration base. It is a hybrid courier ship made for moving cargo, information, and valuable deliveries across the verse.
Unlike the C2 Hercules, which focuses on heavy freight, or the Corsair, which leans into firepower and rugged exploration, the Mercury Star Runner focuses on speed, courier work, data identity, 114 SCU cargo, crew comfort, and flexible everyday utility. RSI’s official ship page lists the Mercury with 114 SCU cargo, 56m length, 2× dual Size 3 turrets, and a medium-size Crusader frame.
The safest way to position the Mercury on a product page is simple: a stylish Crusader courier ship with useful cargo utility today and a data-running identity for future gameplay depth.
Build Your Crusader Courier Fleet with the Mercury Star Runner
The Mercury Star Runner is one of the more recognizable Crusader ships for players who want a fast, stylish, multi-role courier. If you are looking to acquire this Crusader data runner, you can explore our available options in the Star Citizen Ships and Vehicles Collection.
Mercury Star Runner Key Specifications
| Specification | Mercury Star Runner | Gameplay Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Manufacturer | Crusader Industries | Clean, high-performance manufacturer known for sleek transport and logistics ships. |
| Role | Data Runner / Courier / Medium Cargo Ship | Built for freight, information transport, and fast delivery-style gameplay. |
| Status | Flight Ready / Current Gameplay Reference | RSI’s Ship Matrix lists the Mercury as Flight Ready and describes it as a data and cargo conveyance ship. |
| Cargo Capacity | 114 SCU | Useful cargo space for a courier ship, suitable for trading, mission cargo, supplies, and logistics. |
| Length | 56m | Large enough for real interior utility while still smaller than heavy freight ships. |
| Crew Identity | Pilot, co-pilot, scanning/data role, and turret roles | Official Q&A notes the ship has multiple stations and asks players to choose roles depending on the situation. |
| Turrets | 2× dual Size 3 turrets | Gives crew members defensive value and makes the ship more useful when not flown alone. |
| Data Identity | Data-running ship identity reference | Built around courier and data-running fantasy, but data gameplay should be treated as evolving system content rather than a guaranteed current profit loop. |
| Core Gameplay | Courier work, cargo, light smuggling-style roleplay, data running identity, small-crew missions | Best for players who want speed, style, and flexible ship ownership rather than pure cargo profit. |
Note: Star Citizen ship specifications may change during future patches and balance updates. For product pages, exact cargo behavior, data-running mechanics, weapons, components, and performance should be treated as gameplay-reference information rather than permanent final values.
What Makes the Mercury Star Runner Valuable?
The Mercury Star Runner is valuable because it gives players a ship that feels useful, stylish, and personal at the same time. It is not the best cargo ship by raw capacity, not the strongest combat ship, and not the deepest exploration platform. Its value comes from the way it blends several useful roles into one attractive Crusader ship.
The 114 SCU cargo capacity gives the MSR real utility for trading, mission cargo, and supply movement. It carries much more than smaller daily ships while staying far more manageable than the C2 Hercules, Hull C, or Ironclad.
The other main appeal is its courier identity. The Mercury feels like a ship for pilots who want to move fast, carry valuable things, and avoid unnecessary fights. It is one of those ships players buy not only for numbers, but because the ship has a clear fantasy: a fast runner, a data courier, and a clean Crusader transport vessel.
Courier and Data Runner Gameplay Role
The Mercury’s main role is courier gameplay. Official Q&A describes it as a hybrid cargo ship, between freight and data, while also clarifying that it is not meant to replace dedicated scanning ships like the Terrapin.
In practical gameplay, the Mercury Star Runner fits several roles:
| Gameplay Use | Why the Mercury Fits |
|---|---|
| Cargo courier work | 114 SCU gives it useful freight capacity without heavy-hauler scale. |
| Delivery missions | Its interior and rear ramp make it comfortable for moving mission cargo and boxes. |
| Small-group logistics | Crew stations, turrets, and cargo space make it useful for friends or small org work. |
| Data-running identity | Built around the idea of moving information, not only physical cargo. |
| Light smuggling roleplay | The ship’s runner identity makes it popular with players who enjoy discreet courier fantasy. |
| Daily large-ship use | More flexible and stylish than many pure cargo ships. |
The Mercury Star Runner is a fast courier ship with useful cargo utility today and a data-running identity that gives it long-term gameplay appeal.
Cargo and Delivery Utility
The Mercury’s 114 SCU cargo capacity is one of its clearest current-gameplay selling points. It gives players enough space to run trade routes, carry mission cargo, support small events, and move supplies without needing a large freighter.
Compared with a Cutlass Black or C1 Spirit, the Mercury offers much more cargo space and a larger ship experience. Compared with a C2 Hercules or Starlancer MAX, it is less cargo-efficient but feels more like a fast courier and personal transport ship.
The Mercury Star Runner is not a pure hauler, but its 114 SCU cargo hold makes it one of the more practical courier ships in Star Citizen.
Data Running and Current Expectations
The Mercury’s identity is strongly tied to data running, but product pages should word this carefully. Official Q&A confirms the Mercury was designed around cargo and data running, but also notes it does not have a dedicated e-war suite and is not meant to replace specialized ships like the Terrapin for scanning.
The Mercury Star Runner is built with a data-running identity, but buyers should understand that data gameplay depends on Star Citizen’s evolving systems and should not be treated as a guaranteed current profit loop.
This keeps the page trustworthy while still explaining why the MSR is special.
Speed, Style, and Ownership Experience
The Mercury Star Runner is one of the ships where the ownership experience matters as much as the numbers. It has a clean Crusader design, a large interior, crew space, cargo access, hidden-runner style personality, and a cockpit view that many players enjoy.
This makes the Mercury feel different from rougher ships like the Corsair or Caterpillar. It is cleaner, smoother, and more premium. It is not luxury in the same way as Origin, but it feels high-end and modern. For many players, the Mercury is the ship they want to live out of for courier gameplay. It feels like a personal transport ship, not just a cargo box with engines.
Crew and Interior Gameplay
Official Q&A notes that the Mercury has several distinct stations, including pilot, co-pilot, scanning, and two turret roles, while the ship keeps three beds and a focused crew profile rather than expanding into a larger vessel.
A practical Mercury crew may include:
| Crew Role | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Pilot | Handles flight, landing, route choice, and escape decisions. |
| Co-Pilot | Supports navigation, shields, systems, and mission awareness. |
| Scanning / Data Operator | Supports information-gathering and future data-running gameplay. |
| Turret Operators | Improve defensive coverage and help discourage attackers. |
| Cargo Runner | Helps move boxes, organize supplies, and manage deliveries. |
This makes the Mercury a useful ship for solo players who sometimes bring friends. It can be flown alone, but it feels more complete when crew members use its extra stations.
A practical Mercury Star Runner session usually starts with the route, not the cargo number. The pilot should decide whether the delivery is worth the risk, where the ship can land safely, and how quickly the rear ramp can be used before the ship becomes exposed. A co-pilot can watch shields, route safety, and escape timing, while turret operators help discourage attackers long enough for the Mercury to leave. In real use, the MSR feels best when it is treated as a fast courier: load valuable cargo, avoid unnecessary fights, move quickly, and use the ship’s speed and crew stations to escape instead of trying to win every engagement.
Defense and Combat Expectations
The Mercury Star Runner can defend itself, but it should not be marketed as a combat ship. Its turrets and missiles are useful for survival, but the Mercury’s main purpose is transport, courier work, and getting away from danger rather than staying to fight.
The Mercury Star Runner can defend itself when crewed, but its best combat strategy is usually escape, not confrontation.
This is especially important for customer expectations. Players who want combat should look at the Corsair, Redeemer, Vanguard, Guardian, or dedicated fighters. Players who want a fast and stylish courier with enough defense to survive risky routes will understand the MSR better.
Rear Ramp and Access Note
Official Q&A states that the Mercury’s rear ramp is the only entrance and that it does not have a docking collar or secondary lift entrance. It also notes that EVA access in space involves the cargo room, with an airlock to the rest of the ship.
The Mercury has a practical rear-ramp cargo layout, but it is not a multi-entry utility ship like some larger transports.

Mercury Star Runner vs Other Star Citizen Ships
| Ship Fleet Option | Primary Core Role | Compared with Mercury Star Runner |
|---|---|---|
| C1 Spirit | Medium Cargo / Daily Utility | The C1 is smaller, simpler, and easier for daily cargo. The Mercury is larger, more stylish, and better for courier/data identity. |
| Cutlass Black | Multi-Role Utility | The Cutlass is cheaper and more rugged. The Mercury offers more cargo, better interior comfort, and a cleaner Crusader feel. |
| Constellation Taurus | Cargo / Multi-Role | The Taurus is better for cargo profit and direct utility. The Mercury is better for courier style, speed identity, and data-running fantasy. |
| Starlancer MAX | Long-Range Cargo | The Starlancer MAX carries more cargo and feels more freight-focused. The Mercury is more compact, faster-feeling, and more courier-oriented. |
| Corsair | Exploration Gunship | The Corsair has much stronger firepower and rugged adventure appeal. The Mercury is cleaner, faster, and better for courier work. |
| 400i | Luxury Pathfinder | The 400i is more luxury-exploration focused. The Mercury is more cargo/data focused and more practical for courier gameplay. |
| C2 Hercules | Heavy Cargo / Vehicle Transport | The C2 is far better for large cargo and vehicles. The Mercury is more personal, smaller, and easier for courier-style missions. |
Mercury Star Runner vs C1 Spirit
The C1 Spirit is better for players who want a smaller, simpler, and easier daily cargo ship. The Mercury Star Runner is better for players who want more cargo capacity, a larger interior, crew stations, and a stronger courier/data-running identity. Choose the C1 if you want easy everyday hauling. Choose the MSR if you want a bigger Crusader runner with more personality and long-term data-role appeal.
Mercury Star Runner vs Constellation Taurus
The Constellation Taurus is better for cargo profit and practical multi-role utility. The Mercury Star Runner is better for players who care more about courier style, speed identity, interior experience, and data-running fantasy. Choose the Taurus if your priority is hauling value. Choose the Mercury if your priority is fast transport, style, and runner gameplay.
Mercury Star Runner vs Drake Corsair
The Drake Corsair is better for players who want firepower, rugged expedition gameplay, and a rougher adventure ship. The Mercury Star Runner is better for players who want a cleaner Crusader courier with cargo space, data identity, and escape-focused survival. Choose the Corsair for combat adventure. Choose the Mercury for courier work and fast transport.
Mercury Star Runner Strengths and Limitations
| Strategic Strengths | Operational Limitations |
|---|---|
| 114 SCU cargo makes the Mercury useful for a courier ship. | Less cargo capacity than dedicated freight ships. |
| Crusader style and interior make it feel premium and personal. | Not a dedicated combat ship. |
| Data-running identity gives it long-term gameplay appeal. | Data gameplay should be worded carefully because systems are still evolving. |
| Good small-crew layout with pilot, co-pilot, scanning, and turret roles. | Solo pilots cannot fully use all stations and turrets. |
| Good fit for courier, delivery, and light logistics gameplay. | Not as rugged as Drake ships or as luxurious as Origin ships. |
| More manageable than heavy haulers like C2, Hull C, or Ironclad. | Rear ramp is the main entrance, so access is less flexible than some ships. |
Who Should Buy the Mercury Star Runner?
The Mercury Star Runner is best for players who want a stylish courier ship with useful cargo utility and future-facing data-running identity. It is especially suitable for Crusader fans, courier players, delivery runners, small crews, solo owners who want a larger personal ship, and players who care about ship interior and ownership experience.
It is also a good choice for players who want something more exciting than a basic cargo ship. The Mercury does not just haul boxes. It feels like a fast runner, a smuggler-style courier, and a data ship with personality.
Players who want maximum cargo profit should choose ships like the Taurus, Starlancer MAX, C2 Hercules, or Hull C. Players who want stronger combat should choose the Corsair, Vanguard, Guardian, or Redeemer. But for players who want a fast Crusader courier with real cargo value and a clear future role identity, the Mercury Star Runner remains one of the more recognizable ships in Star Citizen.
