Come riscattare navi, CCU, paint e oggetti di Star Citizen
Per accettare questo oggetto, devi avere un account su robertsspaceindustries.com. Per accedere a Star Citizen, è necessario possedere un game package.
Tutti gli ordini verranno inviati all’indirizzo email inserito al momento del checkout. Riceverai un’email da no-reply@robertsspaceindustries.com con oggetto “Someone sent you a gift from Roberts Space Industries”.
Apri l’email e clicca sul pulsante blu “Claim Gift” per riscattare il tuo ordine.
Se vuoi ricevere l’ordine su un account diverso da quello collegato all’email fornita, ti basta accedere all’account RSI corretto in un’altra scheda prima di riscattare l’oggetto. Ti consigliamo di aggiornare la pagina RSI per assicurarti di essere connesso all’account giusto.
Se stai acquistando questo oggetto come regalo, clicca con il tasto destro sul pulsante blu “Claim Gift” e copia l’indirizzo del link. Assicurati di essere uscito dal tuo account RSI, così da non riscattare accidentalmente il regalo sul tuo account.
Istruzioni di sicurezza importanti
ATTENZIONE: tutte le navi e gli oggetti possono essere regalati una sola volta. Una volta riscattato, l’oggetto — nave, CCU, paint, armatura, arma o altro item — sarà collegato in modo permanente all’account che lo ha accettato.
Per questo motivo, prima di riscattare l’email regalo, assicurati di essere connesso allo specifico account RSI su cui vuoi ricevere l’oggetto, usando lo stesso browser.
Non siamo responsabili se l’oggetto viene riscattato sull’account RSI sbagliato.
Come applicare una CCU (Ship Upgrade)
Se hai acquistato una Cross Chassis Upgrade (CCU) per trasformare una nave in un’altra, segui questi passaggi:
Riscatta la CCU
Segui i passaggi di consegna indicati sopra per aggiungere la CCU al tuo RSI Hangar.
Trova la CCU nel tuo hangar
Vai nella sezione “My Hangar” sul sito RSI e cerca la CCU che hai ricevuto.
Applica l’upgrade
Clicca sulla freccia accanto alla CCU per aprire i dettagli.
Poi clicca sul pulsante “Apply Upgrade”.
Seleziona la “Source Ship”, cioè la nave di partenza che vuoi usare per l’upgrade, e inserisci la password del tuo account RSI per completare l’operazione.
Nota importante
L’assicurazione, come ad esempio LTI, e gli eventuali bonus della nave base verranno trasferiti alla nuova nave dopo l’upgrade.
In alcuni casi, per passare da una nave di valore più basso a una nave di valore più alto, l’upgrade può essere composto da più CCU in sequenza.
Ad esempio: se acquisti un upgrade da Merchantman a Polaris, potremmo inviarti due CCU: una da Merchantman a Hammerhead e una da Hammerhead a Polaris.
Più grande è la differenza di prezzo tra la nave di partenza e quella finale, maggiore potrebbe essere il numero di CCU che riceverai.

Domande frequenti
Quanto tempo richiede di solito la consegna?
Gli ordini di navi, CCU, paint e item di Star Citizen vengono solitamente consegnati entro 20–30 minuti.
In rari casi, la consegna può richiedere fino a 12 ore a causa del volume degli ordini, dei limiti RSI per l’invio dei gift, dello stato dell’account o di eventuali verifiche manuali necessarie.
Nella maggior parte dei casi, cerchiamo di non superare le 12 ore per la consegna delle navi, salvo problemi eccezionali come limitazioni del sistema RSI, restrizioni dell’account o verifiche richieste al cliente.
Il mio ordine della nave è protetto?
Sì. Sicurezza e affidabilità sono tra le nostre priorità principali.
Tutte le navi vendute da LTI Hangar provengono dal nostro stock diretto, senza seller esterni o fornitori terzi sconosciuti.
Ogni ordine viene gestito con registri di consegna chiari, così il processo può essere verificato e tracciato in caso di bisogno di supporto.
Offriamo inoltre una protezione post-vendita di 6 mesi per eventuali problemi idonei legati alla consegna.
Questo controllo tramite stock diretto, insieme alla consegna tracciabile e alla protezione post-vendita, è uno dei motivi per cui molti clienti scelgono LTI Hangar per acquistare navi Star Citizen in modo più sicuro.
Che cos’è la protezione post-vendita di 6 mesi? Perché altri marketplace non possono offrirla?
Nel rarissimo caso in cui si verifichi un problema con un item durante la consegna o entro 6 mesi dal completamento della consegna, effettueremo una verifica.
Se dalla verifica risulta che il problema è stato causato da un nostro errore, forniremo una sostituzione oppure un rimborso.
Per aiutarci a controllare il caso in modo accurato, potremmo chiederti di fornirci prove rilevanti, come screenshot del tuo RSI Hangar, dettagli dell’ordine e registri dell’RSI Hangar Log.
L’RSI Hangar Log può aiutare a tracciare lo stato e la cronologia di ogni nave, incluso se l’item è stato riscattato, scambiato, meltato, trasferito o modificato in altro modo dopo la consegna.
Esamineremo le prove fornite per determinare la causa del problema.
Questo livello di protezione non è comunemente offerto da molti marketplace di terze parti, perché spesso si affidano a seller esterni o a fonti di stock miste.
Su LTI Hangar, invece, tutte le navi provengono dal nostro stock diretto e ogni ordine dispone di registri di consegna chiari. Questo ci permette di offrire un supporto più sicuro, tracciabile e affidabile.
Posso richiedere un rimborso dopo aver riscattato una nave, CCU, paint o item?
Una volta che l’RSI Gift è stato riscattato, la nave, CCU, paint o item viene collegato all’account RSI che lo ha ricevuto.
A causa delle limitazioni del sistema di gifting di Star Citizen, un item già riscattato normalmente non può essere regalato di nuovo, restituito, annullato o riconsegnato.
Per questo motivo, gli item già riscattati normalmente non sono idonei alla cancellazione o al rimborso.
Una correzione, sostituzione o rimborso può essere fornito solo se confermiamo che il problema è stato causato da noi, ad esempio l’invio di un item sbagliato, un errore nella consegna dell’ordine o un altro problema di consegna verificato e causato dal nostro lato.
Prima di riscattare l’RSI Gift, assicurati di essere connesso all’account RSI corretto.
Una volta che il gift viene riscattato sull’account sbagliato, normalmente non può essere spostato su un altro account.
Cosa succede se viene consegnata la nave, CCU, paint o item sbagliato?
Se confermiamo che l’item sbagliato è stato consegnato a causa di un nostro errore, esamineremo il caso e forniremo una correzione, una sostituzione o un rimborso, ove applicabile.
Ti invitiamo a contattarci fornendo il numero d’ordine, l’email usata al checkout e screenshot chiari del tuo RSI Hangar.
Perché la nave Star Citizen che ho ricevuto mostra un nome diverso?
Una Standalone CCU’ed è una nave o un veicolo completo. Non è un upgrade!
“CCU’ed” significa semplicemente che la nave o il veicolo è stato creato partendo da un modello più piccolo e facendo upgrade fino a quello che stai acquistando.
Tieni presente che, nell’email regalo RSI, potrebbe comparire solo il nome della nave usata come base per l’upgrade. È normale, non devi preoccuparti: la nave effettiva che vedrai nel tuo hangar sarà esattamente quella che hai ordinato.
Ad esempio, ecco come appare una Polaris CCU’ed nell’hangar sul sito RSI.

Drake Corsair Standalone Ship Gameplay Guide
The Drake Corsair is a rugged expedition ship built for Star Citizen players who want heavy firepower, long-range travel, vehicle utility, and a rough multi-role exploration experience. Designed by Drake Interplanetary, the Corsair is not a polished luxury pathfinder like the Origin 400i, and it is not a pure cargo ship like the Starlancer MAX or C2 Hercules. It is a tough, aggressive exploration ship made for players who want to go far, carry useful gear, and bring real firepower with them.
Unlike many exploration ships that focus mainly on scanning, comfort, or long-range support, the Corsair leans heavily into Drake’s practical and dangerous design style. It offers 72 SCU cargo, room for a ground exploration vehicle, a heavy weapon package, and a crew-focused interior that feels more like a working ship than a luxury yacht. Official RSI material lists the Corsair with 4× Size 5 nose hardpoints, 2× Size 4 wing hardpoints, 4× Size 4 dual missile racks, 2 manual turrets, 1 remote turret, 72 SCU cargo, and 4 crew.
Build Your Drake Exploration Fleet with the Corsair
The Corsair is one of the more useful choices for players who want an exploration ship with real combat pressure. If you are looking to acquire this Drake expedition ship, you can explore our available options in the Star Citizen Ships and Vehicles Collection.
Corsair Key Specifications
| Specification | Drake Corsair | Gameplay Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Manufacturer | Drake Interplanetary | Rugged, practical manufacturer known for affordable, rough, high-utility ships. |
| Role | Expedition / Exploration Ship | Built for long-range travel, dangerous exploration, and small-crew adventure gameplay. |
| Status | Flight Ready / Current Gameplay Reference | CIG’s 2022 chairman letter noted that IAE 2952 debuted two new flyable ships, the Drake Cutter and Corsair. |
| Cargo Capacity | 72 SCU | Useful for supplies, mission cargo, loot, and light trading, but not a dedicated hauler. |
| Crew | 4 reference crew | Best with a pilot and support crew using turrets, systems, and mission roles. |
| Length | 55m | Large enough to feel like a serious expedition ship while staying below Carrack or 600i scale. |
| Weapon Identity | 4× S5 nose + 2× S4 wing hardpoints reference | Gives the Corsair heavy forward pressure for an exploration ship. |
| Turrets | 2 manual turrets + 1 remote turret | Gives crew members defensive and support firing roles. |
| Vehicle Utility | Cargo bay can support a ground exploration vehicle or cargo | Good for away missions, bunker support, and exploration travel. |
| Core Gameplay | Exploration, combat travel, vehicle support, cargo utility | Best for players who want a rougher, more dangerous alternative to luxury exploration ships. |
Note: Star Citizen ship specifications may change during future balance updates. For product pages, exact weapon control, components, cargo behavior, and performance should be treated as gameplay-reference information rather than permanent final values.
What Makes the Corsair Valuable?
The Corsair is valuable because it gives players a rare combination: exploration utility with heavy firepower. Many exploration ships are comfortable or practical, but they do not feel threatening. The Corsair feels different. It is the ship for players who want to explore dangerous areas without feeling like they brought a weak civilian vessel.
Its main appeal is the Drake personality. The ship is rough, asymmetric, practical, and aggressive. It does not feel clean or polished like an Origin ship. It feels like something built by people who expect trouble and would rather bring more guns than more luxury panels.
The Corsair also works well as a flexible daily large ship. It can run missions, carry supplies, bring a vehicle, support a small crew, and fight better than many ships in the exploration category.
Expedition Gameplay Role
The Corsair’s main role is expedition and dangerous exploration. Official Corsair material uses the “adventure” identity strongly, while RSI’s cargo guide describes it as primarily designed as an exploration ship but adaptable enough to be a solid cargo-run contender.
In practical gameplay, the Corsair fits several roles:
| Gameplay Use | Why the Corsair Fits |
|---|---|
| Exploration travel | Built around long-range adventure and independent operation. |
| Combat-heavy missions | Heavy weapon layout gives it more pressure than many exploration ships. |
| Bounty support | Can punish slower or larger targets with heavy forward firepower. |
| Bunker support | Cargo bay and vehicle utility make it useful for FPS mission support. |
| Small cargo runs | 72 SCU gives enough space for supplies, loot, and light trade. |
| Small-crew gameplay | Turrets and interior layout give friends meaningful roles. |
The Corsair should not be treated as a pure explorer like the Carrack or a luxury pathfinder like the 400i. It is better described as a dangerous expedition ship.
Firepower and Combat Feel
The Corsair’s clearest selling point is its weapon identity. Official technical specs list 4× Size 5 nose hardpoints and 2× Size 4 wing hardpoints, plus missile racks and turret support.
The Corsair has heavy firepower for an exploration ship, but it should not be sold as a dedicated gunship.
This keeps the positioning accurate. The Corsair is dangerous, but ships like the Redeemer, Paladin, Hammerhead, Perseus, or Polaris are still more focused combat platforms.
Cargo and Vehicle Utility
The Corsair has 72 SCU of cargo, which makes it more practical than many ships in its broad class. Official Galactapedia material states that each Corsair comes with a cargo bay that can accommodate a ground exploration vehicle or up to 72 SCU of cargo.
The Corsair can support cargo or vehicle-based exploration, but its cargo bay should be understood as mission utility rather than dedicated freight space.
The important customer expectation is the trade-off: RSI’s Corsair Q&A says the design follows a similar “cargo space versus vehicle storage” trade-off to the Constellation, so players should not expect to fully use secured cargo capacity while also carrying a rover.
Interior and Drake Ownership Experience
The Corsair’s interior is one of its clearer personality points. It feels practical, industrial, and lived-in. It does not try to be luxury. It feels like a ship built for people who expect to work, fight, repair, travel, and improvise.
This matters for players who enjoy immersion. The Corsair feels like a real expedition ship: crew quarters, cargo area, engineering space, weapon racks, turrets, and an aggressive bridge layout all support the idea that this is a ship meant to operate away from safe ports.
Players who want a clean premium interior may prefer the 400i or 600i. Players who want something that feels rougher, cheaper, and more dangerous will usually prefer the Corsair.
Solo and Small-Crew Gameplay
The Corsair can be flown solo, but it becomes better with crew. A solo pilot can travel, fight, land, and run missions, but crew members improve turret coverage, defense, repairs, scanning, and overall survival.
A practical Corsair session usually depends on choosing the right kind of trouble. The pilot has heavy forward firepower, but the ship still needs distance control, careful landing choices, and crew awareness. If the cargo bay is being used for a rover, the team should plan the ground route before landing instead of treating the bay like full freight space. In combat, turret operators help cover angles the pilot cannot hold, while the pilot decides whether to commit, turn away, or escape. In real use, the Corsair feels best when it is treated as a dangerous expedition ship: bring guns, bring gear, land with a plan, and leave before the ship’s size and exposure become a problem.
A practical Corsair crew may include:
| Crew Role | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Pilot | Handles flight, positioning, landing, and main engagement decisions. |
| Co-Pilot / Systems Support | Helps with navigation, shields, scanning, and mission awareness. |
| Turret Operators | Improve defensive coverage and help against fighters or side threats. |
| Ground / Vehicle Player | Supports rover deployment, bunker missions, and away-team gameplay. |
This makes the Corsair a useful ship for solo players who sometimes play with friends. It does not require a large crew like the Carrack, Polaris, or Hammerhead, but it rewards bringing extra players.
Landing and Hangar Practicality
The Corsair’s folding-wing layout helps it fit into medium / size-four hangars. RSI’s official Q&A confirms that with its wings folded upward in landing mode, the Corsair was designed to fit front-entry hangar doors such as those at rest stops, in the same hangar class as ships like the Retaliator and Constellation.
The Corsair looks dramatic in space, but its folding wings help make landing and hangar use more practical than its silhouette first suggests.

Corsair vs Other Star Citizen Ships
| Ship Fleet Option | Primary Core Role | Compared with Drake Corsair |
|---|---|---|
| Origin 400i | Luxury Pathfinder | The 400i is cleaner, faster-feeling, and more premium. The Corsair is rougher, more heavily armed, and more aggressive. |
| Origin 600i Explorer | Luxury Expedition Ship | The 600i is larger and more refined. The Corsair is cheaper-feeling, rougher, and more combat-forward. |
| Constellation Aquila | Exploration / Utility | The Aquila is more traditional and RSI-styled. The Corsair has stronger Drake personality and heavier gun-focused appeal. |
| Constellation Taurus | Cargo / Multi-Role | The Taurus is better for cargo and practical profit. The Corsair is better for exploration-style combat utility. |
| Mercury Star Runner | Data Runner / Multi-Role | The MSR is better for data and speed-based utility. The Corsair is better for firepower and rough expedition gameplay. |
| C1 Spirit | Medium Cargo / Daily Utility | The C1 is easier and cleaner for everyday cargo. The Corsair is larger, more dangerous, and more crew-friendly. |
| Carrack | Deep Exploration / Mobile Base | The Carrack is a true expedition platform with broader support features. The Corsair is smaller, rougher, and much easier to use casually. |
Corsair vs Origin 400i
The Origin 400i is better for players who want luxury, comfort, speed-feel, and refined travel. The Drake Corsair is better for players who want heavier firepower, rough utility, and a more aggressive exploration ship. Choose the 400i if ship feel and premium interior matter more. Choose the Corsair if you want a rugged expedition ship with real combat pressure.
Corsair vs Constellation Aquila
The Constellation Aquila is better for players who want a more traditional RSI exploration ship with a familiar utility layout. The Corsair is better for players who want Drake personality, heavier forward firepower, and a rougher adventure-focused experience. Choose the Aquila for classic exploration utility. Choose the Corsair for a more aggressive expedition style.
Corsair vs Constellation Taurus
The Constellation Taurus is better for cargo profit and practical multi-role value. The Corsair is better for exploration-style combat, vehicle-supported missions, and dangerous travel. Choose the Taurus if your priority is hauling and everyday utility. Choose the Corsair if your priority is firepower, Drake style, and expedition gameplay.
Corsair Strengths and Limitations
| Strategic Strengths | Operational Limitations |
|---|---|
| Heavy weapon layout gives the Corsair useful firepower for an exploration ship. | Not as agile or clean as smaller daily drivers. |
| 72 SCU cargo gives useful mission and light-hauling utility. | Not a dedicated cargo-profit ship. |
| Cargo bay can support a ground exploration vehicle or cargo. | Vehicle storage and secured cargo space involve trade-offs. |
| Clear Drake identity makes it feel rugged and memorable. | Interior is functional, not luxury. |
| Good small-crew gameplay with turret and support roles. | Solo pilots will not use all turret coverage. |
| More combat-confident than many exploration ships. | Still not a dedicated gunship or military capital platform. |
| Flight Ready and practical for current gameplay. | Weapon balance and exact control behavior may change across patches. |
Who Should Buy the Corsair?
The Corsair is best for players who want a rugged exploration ship with heavy firepower and useful cargo support. It is especially suitable for Drake fans, combat-focused explorers, small crews, bounty players, bunker teams, and players who want a ship that feels dangerous without moving into a dedicated gunship.
It is also a good choice for players who want an alternative to polished exploration ships. The 400i feels refined. The 600i feels luxurious. The Carrack feels professional and expedition-grade. The Corsair feels rough, direct, and ready to get into trouble.
Players who want cargo profit should look at the Taurus, Starlancer MAX, C2 Hercules, or Hull C. Players who want luxury should choose the 400i or 600i. Players who want a true exploration base should choose the Carrack. But for players who want a Drake expedition ship with teeth, the Corsair remains one of the more appealing ships in Star Citizen.
Corsair FAQ
Is the Drake Corsair worth buying in Star Citizen?
The Corsair is worth buying if you want an exploration ship with heavy firepower, 72 SCU cargo, vehicle utility, and a rugged Drake interior. It is especially appealing for players who want a ship that can travel, fight, carry supplies, and support small-crew missions without feeling too polished or passive.
Is the Corsair Flight Ready?

What is the main role of the Corsair?
The Corsair’s main role is expedition and exploration gameplay with heavy combat capability. RSI’s cargo guide describes it as primarily designed as an exploration ship, while also noting that its adaptability makes it useful for cargo runs.
How much cargo does the Corsair have?

Can the Corsair carry a rover?
Yes, the Corsair’s cargo bay can accommodate a ground exploration vehicle or up to 72 SCU of cargo. However, RSI’s Q&A makes clear that cargo space and vehicle storage involve trade-offs, so it should not be marketed as carrying a rover and full secured cargo at the same time.
Is the Corsair good for cargo?
The Corsair is useful for light cargo, supplies, and mission cargo, but it is not a dedicated cargo ship. Players who want profit hauling should look at the Taurus, Starlancer MAX, C2 Hercules, Hull C, or Ironclad.
Is the Corsair good for combat?
Yes, the Corsair is very capable for an exploration ship because of its heavy weapon package. However, it should not be treated as a dedicated gunship. Its best identity is dangerous expedition gameplay, not frontline combat specialization.
Is the Corsair better than the 400i?
The Corsair is better for firepower, rugged utility, and players who want a rougher Drake experience. The 400i is better for luxury, comfort, speed-feel, and refined travel. Choose the Corsair for guns and grit. Choose the 400i for style and comfort.
Should I choose the Corsair or 400i?
Choose the Corsair if you want a rugged Drake expedition ship with heavier firepower, vehicle support, and a rougher adventure feel. Choose the 400i if you want a refined Origin pathfinder with luxury interior design, smoother travel, and a more premium ownership experience. The Corsair is the better combat-adventure choice, while the 400i is the better luxury travel choice.
Is the Corsair better than the Constellation Aquila?
The Corsair is usually more appealing for players who want heavier firepower and Drake personality. The Aquila is more traditional as an RSI exploration ship and may appeal more to players who prefer the Constellation layout and utility style.
Is the Corsair better than the Taurus?
The Taurus is better for cargo and practical multi-role value. The Corsair is better for exploration-style combat and adventure gameplay. Choose the Taurus for profit and utility. Choose the Corsair for firepower and expedition personality.
Is the Corsair better than the Mercury Star Runner?
The Mercury Star Runner is better for speed, data-running identity, and smoother multi-role travel. The Corsair is better for weapon pressure, vehicle-supported missions, and rough exploration. They serve very different player styles.
Does the Corsair have good long-term value?
Yes, the Corsair has useful long-term value for players who enjoy exploration, small-crew gameplay, and combat-ready travel. Its role is easy to understand: a rugged Drake expedition ship with heavy weapons, useful cargo, and vehicle support. It is not the most efficient ship in every category, but it has one of the clearest personalities in Star Citizen.
