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 a vita 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 a vita?Perché altri marketplace non possono offrire questo livello di protezione?
Nel rarissimo caso in cui si verifichi un problema con un item durante la consegna o in qualsiasi momento dopo il 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.

Anvil F7C-M Super Hornet Heartseeker Mk I Standalone Ship Gameplay Guide
The Anvil F7C-M Super Hornet Heartseeker Mk I is a two-seat medium fighter built for Star Citizen players who want the classic Super Hornet combat platform, strong fighter firepower, optional multi-crew gameplay, and a distinctive factory combat loadout. Developed by Anvil Aerospace, the Heartseeker is based on the F7C-M Super Hornet Mk I and keeps the same basic identity as one of the most combat-focused civilian Hornets.
Unlike specialized Hornet variants such as the Ghost or Tracker, the Heartseeker is focused almost entirely on direct combat. Its identity comes from the Super Hornet's two-seat layout, ball-turret configuration, near military-spec equipment, and a factory setup built around four Behring laser cannons. It does not add cargo, scanning, stealth, or another profession. It is a fighter designed for players who want to fight.
Official Anvil material lists the original Super Hornet Mk I platform at 25.5m length, 24m beam, 6.5m height, two crew, and 0 SCU cargo. The Heartseeker was introduced as a limited-edition F7C-M variant and became flyable with Star Citizen Alpha 3.5.
Build Your Anvil Fighter Fleet with the Heartseeker
The Heartseeker Mk I remains one of the distinctive original-generation Hornets for players who want a serious medium fighter with two-seat capability. If you are looking to acquire this classic 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
Engineered around the proven Super Hornet platform, the Heartseeker combines direct fighter firepower with a second seat and a special Behring energy-weapon loadout.
| Specification | F7C-M Super Hornet Heartseeker Mk I | Gameplay Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Manufacturer | Anvil Aerospace | A combat-focused Human manufacturer closely associated with UEE military spacecraft. |
| Role | Medium Fighter | Built for dogfighting, interception, escort, and direct spacecraft combat. |
| Status | Flight Ready | The Heartseeker became flyable with Alpha 3.5. |
| Length | 25.5m platform reference | Compact enough for normal fighter operations and hangar use. |
| Crew | 1–2 | Can be flown solo while also supporting a second crew member. |
| Cargo Capacity | 0 SCU | A dedicated combat fighter rather than a cargo or general-purpose ship. |
| Special Weapon Package | 4 Behring laser cannons | Gives the Heartseeker its distinctive factory energy-weapon identity. |
| Turret Utility | Super Hornet ball turret | Adds weapon flexibility and supports the two-seat combat layout. |
| Platform | F7C-M Super Hornet Mk I | Uses the classic two-seat civilian Hornet combat chassis. |
| Core Gameplay | Dogfighting, bounty hunting, escort, fighter combat | Best used as a dedicated medium fighter rather than a multi-role spacecraft. |
Note: Star Citizen ship specifications may change during future patches and balance updates. Exact weapons, shields, components, speeds, capacitors, and flight values should be treated as gameplay-reference information rather than permanent final numbers.
What Makes the Heartseeker Mk I Valuable?
The Heartseeker Mk I is valuable because it combines the combat-focused Super Hornet platform with a distinctive factory weapon package. It keeps the qualities that made the original F7C-M attractive while giving the ship a stronger individual identity than the standard Super Hornet.
Its main appeal starts with the Super Hornet chassis. The F7C-M was designed as one of the closest civilian Hornets to a military-style configuration, adding a second seat, restoring the ball turret, and using near military-spec equipment.
The Heartseeker builds on that foundation with four Behring laser cannons. This gives the ship a clear energy-weapon identity while preserving the flexibility of the Hornet platform.
The second seat is also important. The Heartseeker does not require a second player for normal operation, but owners have the option to bring another player into the fighter instead of being locked into permanent solo gameplay.
That combination makes the Heartseeker appealing to both active fighter pilots and players who want one of the more distinctive variants of the original Hornet family.
Medium Fighter Combat Gameplay Role
The Heartseeker Mk I's main role is direct medium-fighter combat. It is built for dogfighting, bounty hunting, interception, escort missions, and fighter-wing operations.
The Super Hornet platform is more combat-focused than profession-specific Hornet variants. The Ghost gives up some direct-combat focus for stealth. The Tracker emphasizes enhanced detection and scanning. The Heartseeker keeps the F7C-M's straightforward fighter identity.
| Gameplay Use | Why the Heartseeker Fits |
|---|---|
| Dogfighting | Dedicated fighter platform and concentrated weapons suit direct spacecraft combat. |
| PvE bounty hunting | Energy weapons and solo capability support repeated combat missions. |
| Interception | Medium-fighter design works well for pursuing and engaging hostile spacecraft. |
| Escort operations | Can stay close to valuable ships and respond to approaching fighters. |
| Two-player combat | Second seat provides an additional crew option when another player is available. |
| Organization events | Fits naturally into coordinated fighter wings and combat groups. |
| Arena-style combat | The Heartseeker's entire design is centered on direct fighter engagements. |
The Heartseeker should not be treated as a heavy fighter. Ships such as the Vanguard Warden or Scorpius are larger platforms with different durability, range, and crew expectations.
The Heartseeker remains a medium fighter. Its strength comes from bringing concentrated Hornet firepower into a relatively compact combat platform.
Behring Laser Cannon Firepower
The Heartseeker's defining factory feature is its set of four Behring laser cannons.
This weapon package gives the ship a clear energy-combat identity. Instead of relying on ballistic ammunition, laser cannons draw from the ship's available energy system and allow the pilot to continue fighting without returning to a station simply to replenish main-gun ammunition.
Laser cannons also reward deliberate firing windows.
A Heartseeker pilot should focus on creating clean attack angles, placing accurate bursts into the target, and repositioning instead of holding the trigger without considering weapon energy or accuracy.
The Heartseeker is at its best when the pilot combines the Hornet's fighter positioning with controlled, accurate energy fire.
This makes energy and capacitor management important during longer engagements. The pilot needs to balance offensive output with the defensive and maneuvering demands of the fight.
The factory Behring loadout also gives the Heartseeker a more recognizable stock identity than a normal Super Hornet fitted entirely around the owner's preferred aftermarket weapons.
Ball Turret and Combat Utility
The Heartseeker inherits the ball-turret architecture of the F7C-M Super Hornet Mk I.
The turret is one of the features that separates the Super Hornet platform from simpler civilian Hornet configurations. It provides additional weapon-mounting flexibility and supports the ship's more aggressive combat identity.
This matters because the Heartseeker is not simply an F7C with special paint. It begins with the F7C-M platform, which was already designed as a more heavily equipped two-seat civilian fighter.
The turret complements the ship's forward-combat style by increasing the amount of weaponry that can be integrated into the Hornet chassis.
It also gives the second crew position more relevance during cooperative gameplay.
The exact behavior of turret control, weapon assignments, and automation can change as Star Citizen's crew and computer systems develop, but the physical turret remains an important part of what separates the Super Hornet family from other Hornets.
Two-Seat Gameplay
One of the strongest reasons to choose the Heartseeker over a normal single-seat Hornet is its second seat.
The original Super Hornet was designed to allow two players to divide combat and logistical responsibilities. At the same time, the second seat is optional, so the Heartseeker does not become unusable when another player is unavailable.
This creates useful flexibility.
A solo player can take the Heartseeker into normal combat missions without waiting for another crew member. When a friend is available, the same ship can support cooperative fighter gameplay.
A practical two-player Heartseeker operation still depends on communication. The pilot remains responsible for positioning, target selection, movement, and keeping the spacecraft in a useful firing situation. The second player can support combat duties and reduce the amount of work handled entirely by the pilot.
| Crew Role | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Pilot | Handles flight, positioning, primary combat, and target selection. |
| Second Crew Member | Supports the Super Hornet's secondary combat and crew functions. |
| Pilot Target Management | Chooses priority targets and creates useful firing opportunities. |
| Weapon Coordination | Keeps the ship's available weapon systems focused on the same engagement. |
| Energy Management | Balances offensive output with shields and other ship systems. |
| Situational Awareness | Tracks additional threats during multi-ship engagements. |
| Disengagement | Coordinates retreat when the fighter loses a favorable combat position. |
This is why the Heartseeker works particularly well for players who alternate between solo and small-group gameplay.
Solo Gameplay
The Heartseeker Mk I can be used solo.
The second seat is not required for normal flight, and the pilot retains the core functionality needed to operate the fighter. This is important because many players interested in the Super Hornet platform do not have a permanent second crew member available.
A practical solo Heartseeker engagement usually begins with target selection and positioning rather than simply trading damage.
The pilot should create a useful firing angle, apply controlled energy fire, and reposition when the opponent begins returning too much pressure.
Against light fighters, tracking and maneuvering become especially important. The Heartseeker may have a stronger combat package than a basic civilian Hornet, but smaller fighters can still create difficult engagements through agility.
Against other medium fighters, the Heartseeker can use its concentrated combat setup more directly.
Against heavy fighters, the pilot should avoid turning the battle into a pure durability contest. The Heartseeker is still a medium fighter and benefits more from movement and repeated attack opportunities than from remaining stationary in front of heavier guns.
The Heartseeker does not require a second player to be useful, which makes it much easier to own as an everyday combat fighter than a ship built around mandatory multi-crew stations.
This solo flexibility remains one of the Super Hornet platform's strongest practical advantages.
Energy Weapons and Repeated Combat
The Heartseeker's Behring laser-cannon identity gives it useful value for repeated combat missions.
Ballistic weapons can provide strong damage characteristics, but ammunition eventually becomes a logistical limitation. Energy weapons remove that specific problem and instead place more emphasis on power availability and firing discipline.
For PvE bounty hunting, this can make the Heartseeker convenient.
A pilot can move between several combat encounters without watching a physical ammunition count disappear after every engagement. Weapon energy still needs time to recover, but the ship is not permanently consuming ammunition every time the trigger is pulled.
That changes the way the Heartseeker fits into longer combat sessions.
The ship works naturally for players who want to leave a station, complete several fighter engagements, and continue operating until fuel, repairs, or another resource creates a reason to return.
This does not make energy weapons automatically better than ballistic weapons.
It simply gives the Heartseeker a different combat rhythm.
Hornet Mk I Fighter Design
The Heartseeker belongs to the original Hornet Mk I generation.
This is important because newer Hornet Mk II spacecraft now exist alongside the original models. The Heartseeker Mk I should therefore be understood as part of the classic Hornet family rather than confused with newer Super Hornet Mk II variants or Heartseeker-related Mk II equipment.
The classic Super Hornet Mk I platform measures 25.5m long and uses a two-seat cockpit combined with the familiar Hornet modular fighter design.
Its role is straightforward.
There is no dedicated cargo grid, habitation area, medical bay, vehicle storage, or industrial equipment. The spacecraft exists almost entirely to support fighter combat.
That simplicity remains useful.
Players who buy the Heartseeker know what they are getting: a compact Anvil combat ship designed around guns, maneuvering, and fighter missions.
The Heartseeker Mk I is a classic Hornet first and a special edition second. Its lasting value comes from the fact that the underlying Super Hornet combat role is easy to understand.
That distinction keeps the ship relevant beyond its appearance or limited-edition history.

Heartseeker Mk I vs Other Star Citizen Ships
When choosing between the Heartseeker and other fighters, the main question is whether you want the classic two-seat Super Hornet platform, a military Hornet, a newer Mk II chassis, stealth capability, or a different fighter weight class.
| Ship Fleet Option | Primary Core Role | Compared with Heartseeker Mk I |
|---|---|---|
| F7C-M Super Hornet Mk I | Two-Seat Medium Fighter | Shares the same basic platform. The Heartseeker adds its special Behring weapon package and limited-edition identity. |
| F7A Hornet Mk I | Military Medium Fighter | Has the stronger military identity. The Heartseeker offers the civilian Super Hornet's two-seat configuration. |
| F7C-M Super Hornet Mk II | Two-Seat Medium Fighter | Uses the newer Hornet Mk II platform. The Heartseeker represents the classic Mk I generation. Fits F7A Mk II. |
| F7C Hornet Mk I | Medium Fighter | Simpler single-seat civilian Hornet. The Heartseeker adds the F7C-M's heavier combat and two-seat identity. |
| F7C Hornet Wildfire Mk I | Special-Edition Medium Fighter | Another combat-oriented special Mk I. The Heartseeker is based on the two-seat Super Hornet rather than the standard F7C. |
| F7C-S Hornet Ghost Mk I | Stealth Fighter | Better for lower-signature combat. The Heartseeker focuses more directly on firepower and conventional fighter engagements. |
| Vanguard Warden | Heavy Fighter | Offers more range, durability, and interior utility. The Heartseeker is smaller and more focused on medium-fighter combat. |
Heartseeker Mk I vs Super Hornet Mk I
The F7C-M Super Hornet Mk I is the closest comparison because the Heartseeker is based directly on that ship.
Both use the same general two-seat Super Hornet platform. Both are medium fighters with no dedicated cargo role, and both are designed around stronger combat capability than the basic civilian Hornet.
The biggest difference is identity and factory configuration.
The Heartseeker was released as a special version of the Super Hornet with four Behring laser cannons and its own distinctive presentation. The standard Super Hornet represents the base F7C-M platform without that special-edition focus.
If you simply want the classic two-seat Super Hornet experience, the standard F7C-M Mk I has the clearer role.
If you want the same general platform with the Heartseeker's distinctive factory combat package and special identity, choose the Heartseeker Mk I.
Heartseeker Mk I vs F7A Hornet Mk I
The F7A Hornet Mk I represents the military side of the original Hornet family.
The Heartseeker comes from the civilian F7C-M Super Hornet platform. That platform was designed to get as close to a military-style Hornet configuration as legally possible for civilian ownership, but it remains different from the F7A.
The Heartseeker's advantage is its two-seat Super Hornet configuration and distinctive special-edition identity.
The F7A's advantage is its clearer military lineage and more direct connection to the combat Hornets used by the UEE Navy.
If you want a classic civilian two-seat Hornet, choose the Heartseeker. If you want the military Hornet Mk I identity, the F7A is the clearer option.
Heartseeker Mk I vs Super Hornet Mk II
The Super Hornet Mk II represents the newer generation of Anvil's two-seat Hornet concept.
It carries the familiar idea forward onto the newer Mk II chassis, giving players a more modern version of the Super Hornet platform.
The Heartseeker Mk I offers something different.
It preserves the original Hornet generation and the classic F7C-M design. Its Behring laser-cannon configuration and original Heartseeker identity further separate it from the newer aircraft.
If you want the newer two-seat Hornet platform, choose the Super Hornet Mk II.
If you specifically want the classic Super Hornet generation and original Heartseeker identity, choose the Heartseeker Mk I.
F7C-M Super Hornet Heartseeker Mk I Strengths and Limitations
| Strategic Strengths | Operational Limitations |
|---|---|
| Classic Super Hornet platform provides a clear medium-fighter combat role. | Offers almost no non-combat profession utility. |
| Four Behring laser cannons give the Heartseeker a distinctive energy-weapon identity. | Energy weapons still require careful capacitor and power management. |
| Two-seat layout provides optional cooperative fighter gameplay. | Players who only want pure solo combat may prefer a dedicated single-seat fighter. |
| Can still be operated effectively by one pilot. | Second-seat value depends on current crew and turret mechanics. |
| Ball-turret architecture adds combat flexibility. | Exact weapon behavior and balance can change between patches. |
| 0 SCU reinforces a pure combat design without unnecessary role compromises. | Cannot replace a general-purpose ship for cargo or delivery gameplay. |
| Flight Ready and already usable in current gameplay. | Mk I platform is older than the newer Hornet Mk II family. |
| Distinctive Heartseeker identity separates it from the standard Super Hornet. | Special-edition status does not automatically make it stronger than every other Hornet. |
Who Should Buy the F7C-M Super Hornet Heartseeker Mk I?
The Heartseeker Mk I is best for players who want a classic Anvil medium fighter with two-seat capability and a strong direct-combat identity.
It is especially suitable for Hornet pilots, PvE bounty hunters, fighter-wing players, Anvil collectors, players who sometimes bring a second crew member, and players who prefer energy weapons for repeated combat sessions.
It is also a good choice for players who specifically prefer the original Hornet generation.
The Heartseeker retains the familiar Mk I Super Hornet chassis while adding a factory weapon setup and identity that distinguish it from the standard F7C-M.
Players who mainly want the standard Super Hornet experience may prefer the regular F7C-M Mk I. Players who want a military Hornet should compare the F7A Mk I. Players who prefer the newest Hornet platform should compare the Super Hornet Mk II. Players who want stealth should look at the Hornet Ghost.
But for players who want a two-seat classic Hornet with four Behring laser cannons, near military-spec character, solo usability, and a distinctive place in the original Hornet family, the F7C-M Super Hornet Heartseeker Mk I remains one of the clearer special-edition fighter choices in Star Citizen.
