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.

Aopoa San'tok.yāi Standalone Ship Gameplay Guide
The Aopoa San'tok.yāi is a single-seat Xi’an medium fighter built for Star Citizen players who want alien flight technology, clear strafe-focused maneuverability, and a combat ship that feels very different from standard human fighters. It is not a cargo ship, daily utility ship, explorer, or long-range living platform. It is a focused alien medium fighter designed for pilots who want movement, positioning, and short combat windows to matter.
Official RSI Q&A describes the San'tok.yāi as a medium fighter and direct combatant, while the Khartu-al serves more as a light fighter, scout, and skirmisher. The San'tok.yāi is an original Xi’an-produced civilian export by Aopoa, not a replica or reverse-engineered reconstruction.
The safest product-page positioning is simple:
The San'tok.yāi is the Xi’an medium fighter you choose when you want alien maneuverability and single-seat combat focus — not cargo utility, heavy armor, or human-style endurance fighting.
Build Your Alien Fighter Fleet with the San'tok.yāi
The San'tok.yāi is one of the more direct choices for players who want a true Xi’an combat ship rather than a human fighter with alien paint. If you are looking to acquire this Aopoa medium fighter, you can explore our available options in the Star Citizen Ships and Vehicles Collection.
San'tok.yāi Key Specifications
| Specification | Aopoa San'tok.yāi | Gameplay Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Manufacturer | Aopoa | Xi’an manufacturer known for alien flight design and distinctive thruster technology. |
| Role | Medium Fighter | Built for direct combat, not scouting-only gameplay or cargo utility. |
| Status | Flight Ready / current gameplay reference | Community game data tracks the San'tok.yāi as becoming Flight Ready with Alpha 3.22. |
| Crew | 1 pilot | Fully solo-operated; no turret gunner or co-pilot required. |
| Cargo Capacity | 0 SCU | No hauling, delivery, trading, or general cargo value. |
| Dimensions | 24m length / 23m width / 10m height | Compact alien medium fighter footprint with a very distinctive Xi’an profile. |
| Mass | 106,566 kg | Gives it a heavier medium-fighter feel than the lighter Khartu-al. |
| Official Speed Reference | 265 m/s | Current official promotional tech-spec reference; exact live handling can change with balance. |
| Movement Identity | Xi’an strafe-focused movement reference | Built around lateral acceleration, repositioning, and alien handling, but practical combat value still depends on pilot skill, current flight model, and fighter balance. |
| Main Weapons | 4× Size 3 Yeng’tu Laser Repeater reference | Gives the ship a clear Xi’an weapon identity, but heat management and sustained-fire behavior should be treated as current gameplay-reference information. |
| Missiles | 4× Size 3 missile racks, each carrying 2× Size 2 missiles | Adds secondary pressure without making the ship a missile boat. |
| Durability Identity | Less forgiving than some human medium fighters | The San'tok.yāi rewards movement and damage avoidance more than armor trading or long sustained brawls. |
| Core Gameplay | Alien medium fighter combat, strafe movement, dogfighting, collector value | Best for pilots who want a Xi’an fighter feel rather than a standard human combat ship. |
Note: Star Citizen ship specifications, weapon behavior, flight model, and fighter balance can change between patches. For product pages, exact handling, heat behavior, weapon tuning, shield values, and combat strength should be treated as current gameplay-reference information rather than permanent final values.
What Makes the San'tok.yāi Valuable?
The San'tok.yāi is valuable because it gives players a true Xi’an medium fighter, not just an alien-looking ship. Its appeal is based on movement, alien design, and pilot skill. Human medium fighters often feel more familiar: more traditional thrust layouts, more conventional profiles, and clearer combat expectations. The San'tok.yāi is different.
Its main selling point is the Xi’an thruster layout. RSI’s Q&A explains that Xi’an fighter craft use highly articulated main thrusters, giving the San'tok.yāi higher lateral acceleration and strafe-focused flight than typical human thruster designs.
A clean product-page sentence would be:
The San'tok.yāi is not the fighter you buy for brute-force durability. It is the fighter you buy because you want alien movement, sharp positioning, and a different style of medium-fighter combat.
Medium Fighter Gameplay Role
The San'tok.yāi’s main role is single-seat medium fighter combat. It is designed to compete in the same broad class as ships like the Anvil Super Hornet and Aegis Sabre, but with a very different flight personality. RSI says the San'tok.yāi is less resilient than those human contemporaries and has a slightly lighter weapon loadout, but benefits from higher lateral acceleration and strafe-focused movement.
In practical gameplay, the San'tok.yāi fits several roles:
| Gameplay Use | Why the San'tok.yāi Fits |
|---|---|
| Solo fighter combat | One pilot controls the full ship and all primary weapons. |
| Dogfighting | Xi’an thruster design supports movement-heavy fighting and lateral repositioning. |
| Alien ship collection | It is an original Xi’an-produced export by Aopoa, not a human-made replica. |
| PvE bounty combat | Medium-fighter weapons and missiles support combat missions when balance favors it. |
| Style-focused PvP | The silhouette, cockpit, and movement feel stand apart from human fighters. |
| Aopoa / Xi’an fleet building | Natural partner to the Khartu-al for players building an alien combat fleet. |
The San'tok.yāi should be described as a Xi’an medium fighter, not a general-purpose ship.
Xi’an Thruster and Movement Identity
The San'tok.yāi’s defining feature is its movement profile. RSI’s Q&A explains that Xi’an fighters use a unique thruster configuration built around highly articulated main thrusters, which improves strafe movement and lateral acceleration compared with typical human fixed-main-thruster designs.
This makes the ship especially attractive to pilots who like positional combat. The San'tok.yāi is not just about flying straight at a target and trading shots. It is about using movement to create short attack windows, move through crowded fights, and avoid giving enemies easy firing solutions.
A strong product-page sentence:
The San'tok.yāi rewards pilots who understand movement, not pilots who simply want to absorb damage and hold the trigger.
This also explains why the ship can feel different from a Super Hornet. The Super Hornet is more about toughness and steady pressure. The San'tok.yāi is more about motion and angles.
Weapons and Heat Expectations
The San'tok.yāi comes with Yeng’tu Size 3 Laser Repeaters. RSI says these Xi’an-technology repeaters offer a higher rate of fire than traditional human-produced laser repeaters of comparable size, but that the design has a lower maximum heat threshold, reducing sustained firing duration before overheating.
This is a useful buyer expectation point:
The San'tok.yāi’s weapons are designed for short, high-value firing windows rather than endless sustained fire.
That fits the ship’s movement identity. The pilot should move, line up, fire during the opening, then reposition before the fight turns into a long damage trade.
Missile Pressure
Official promotional tech specs list the San'tok.yāi with 4× Size 3 missile racks, each carrying 2× Size 2 missiles.
The missiles give the ship extra pressure, but they do not change its core identity. The San'tok.yāi is not a missile boat. Its real value is still movement, pilot-controlled guns, and alien handling.
A clean product-page sentence:
The missiles support the San'tok.yāi’s attack windows, but the ship’s real selling point is Xi’an maneuverability and medium-fighter combat feel.
San'tok.yāi vs Khartu-al
The San'tok.yāi and Khartu-al are both Xi’an / Aopoa fighters, but they are not the same role.
| Ship | Best For | Main Difference |
|---|---|---|
| Aopoa San'tok.yāi | Medium fighter combat | More weaponry and more direct combat presence. Built as a single-seat medium fighter class. |
| Khartu-al | Light fighter, scout, skirmisher | Faster, quicker to accelerate, more responsive, but lighter armed. Built for scouting. |
The clean buyer explanation:
Choose the Khartu-al if you want the lighter, faster Xi’an skirmisher. Choose the San'tok.yāi if you want the heavier Xi’an medium fighter.
This comparison is very important because customers may see both as “alien fighters.” The San'tok.yāi is the more combat-direct option.
San'tok.yāi vs Super Hornet
The Super Hornet and San'tok.yāi both sit in the medium-fighter discussion, but their personalities are very different.
| Ship | Best For | Main Difference |
|---|---|---|
| Aopoa San'tok.yāi | Alien movement and strafe-heavy dogfighting | Less resilient, but stronger lateral movement identity. Built around single-seat handling. |
| F7C-M Super Hornet Mk II | Human medium-fighter endurance and two-seat combat | More conventional, more direct, and easier to understand for human fighter pilots. |
RSI describes the San'tok.yāi as competitive in the same medium-fighter weight class as the Super Hornet and Sabre, while noting that the Super Hornet may favor pilots who like slugging, endurance, and steady firing solutions.
A simple product-page sentence:
Choose the San'tok.yāi if you want alien movement. Choose the Super Hornet if you want a tougher human medium fighter.
San'tok.yāi vs Sabre
The Sabre is a human stealth medium fighter. The San'tok.yāi is an alien movement-focused medium fighter.
| Ship | Best For | Main Difference |
|---|---|---|
| Aopoa San'tok.yāi | Strafe-heavy dogfighting and alien handling | Uses Xi’an thruster design to create unusual movement options. |
| Aegis Sabre | Stealth medium-fighter combat | Better for pilots who prefer stealth, ambush, and boom-and-zoom tactics. |
RSI’s Q&A frames the Sabre as potentially favored by pilots who prefer ambush and fade tactics, while the San'tok.yāi may appeal to dogfighters and sneaky pilots who thrive in crowded or tricky environments.
A clean buyer explanation:
Choose the Sabre if you want stealth fighter gameplay. Choose the San'tok.yāi if you want alien strafe movement and Xi’an combat style.
San'tok.yāi vs RSI Meteor
The RSI Meteor is a forward-pressure human strike fighter, while the San'tok.yāi trades pure forward brawling for highly mobile alien evasion.
| Ship | Best For | Main Difference |
|---|---|---|
| Aopoa San'tok.yāi | Xi’an strafe movement and positional medium-fighter combat | Focuses on highly articulated thrusters and high lateral acceleration. |
| RSI Meteor | Heavy forward firepower and direct strike-fighter utility | Focuses on heavy forward weapon layout and high straight-line speed. |
Choose the Meteor for forward pressure and human strike-fighter speed. Choose the San'tok.yāi for lateral control and alien combat style.
Durability and Risk
The San'tok.yāi is not a tanky fighter. RSI says its exposed articulated thruster arrangement makes the structure less durable under fire than more “bricky” human designs, even though Xi’an engineers still make their fighters as strong as they can without compromising the flight concept.
That creates an important trade-off:
The San'tok.yāi gives you movement, but it does not give you the same forgiving damage tolerance as some human medium fighters.
This is one of the best honest selling points. The ship is not weak because it is bad; it is specialized. It asks the pilot to avoid damage through movement instead of relying on raw hull forgiveness.
Cargo and Interior Expectations
The San'tok.yāi has no cargo, storage, or living space. RSI says directly that if a buyer is looking for cargo, storage, or living space, they will not find it here because the ship is a military medium fighter focused on combat.
A clean product-page sentence:
The San'tok.yāi is a fighter only. It is not for hauling, delivery missions, bed logging, vehicle transport, medical support, or daily utility gameplay.
This is important because the ship’s alien design and price can make some customers expect more broad value. Its value is combat identity and alien handling, not utility.
Solo Gameplay
The San'tok.yāi is fully solo-operated. There is no co-pilot, turret gunner, cargo operator, or crew dependency. One pilot controls the full ship.
A practical San'tok.yāi pilot focuses on:
| Pilot Focus | Gameplay Meaning |
|---|---|
| Strafe movement | The ship’s Xi’an thruster layout rewards lateral control. |
| Short firing windows | Yeng’tu repeaters favor controlled bursts over careless overheating. |
| Target positioning | Stay out of predictable human-fighter trade patterns. |
| Damage avoidance | Movement matters because the ship is less resilient than some human fighters. |
| Missile timing | Missiles help create pressure and force defensive reactions. |
| Patch awareness | Fighter tuning, heat values, and flight-model changes can affect the ship heavily. |
A practical San'tok.yāi fight should feel like using movement to create short attack windows, not trading damage like a heavier human medium fighter. The pilot needs to manage lateral movement, avoid predictable approach lines, fire controlled bursts before heat becomes a problem, and reposition before the enemy can force a long damage trade. When flown well, the San'tok.yāi can feel unusual and difficult to read because its Xi’an movement profile does not behave like a standard human fighter. When flown carelessly, its lower durability and exposed design can punish the pilot quickly. In real use, the San'tok.yāi rewards positioning, strafe control, and timing more than simple aggression.
The San'tok.yāi is best for pilots who enjoy learning a ship’s movement behavior. It is less ideal for players who want the most forgiving first fighter.
Combat Balance Expectations
The San'tok.yāi has a clear identity, but product pages should avoid calling it guaranteed meta. RSI’s Q&A itself makes the comparison depend on how players use the ship in practice, and current fighter performance can change across patches.
A safe product-page sentence:
The San'tok.yāi can be rewarding for skilled pilots, but its practical combat value depends on current fighter balance, pilot movement control, weapon heat management, and target choice.
This is more trustworthy than promising that it will always beat a Sabre, Super Hornet, or Gladius.

San'tok.yāi vs Other Star Citizen Fighters
| Ship Fleet Option | Primary Core Role | Compared with San'tok.yāi |
|---|---|---|
| Khartu-al | Light Fighter / Scout | Faster and more responsive, but lighter armed. San'tok.yāi is the heavier direct-combat Xi’an fighter. |
| F7C-M Super Hornet Mk II | Human Two-Seat Medium Fighter | More conventional and tougher-feeling. San'tok.yāi is more alien and movement-focused. |
| Aegis Sabre | Stealth Medium Fighter | Better for stealth ambush style. San'tok.yāi is better for Xi’an strafe combat identity. |
| Gladius | Human Light Fighter | More mainstream and practical as a light fighter. San'tok.yāi is a larger alien medium fighter. |
| Esperia Blade | Vanduul Light Fighter | Blade is lighter and more skirmisher-like. San'tok.yāi is a medium direct-combat fighter. |
| Esperia Talon | Tevarin Light Fighter | Talon is another alien light-fighter option. San'tok.yāi is more Xi’an and medium-class. |
| Mirai Guardian | Solo Heavy Fighter | Guardian is heavier and more long-range. San'tok.yāi is more agile and medium-fighter focused. |
| RSI Meteor | Fast Medium Fighter | Meteor focuses on heavy forward firepower. San'tok.yāi focuses more on alien movement and strafe control. |
San'tok.yāi Strengths and Limitations
| Strategic Strengths | Operational Limitations |
|---|---|
| True Xi’an-produced Aopoa export, not a replica. | No cargo, no storage, no living space, and no utility role. |
| Clear lateral acceleration and strafe-focused movement identity. | Less resilient than some human medium fighters. |
| Single-seat operation keeps ownership simple. | No turret, no co-pilot, and no multi-crew gameplay. |
| 4× S3 Yeng’tu repeaters give it a clear alien weapon package. | Heat management matters because the repeaters have a lower heat threshold. |
| Missile package adds useful secondary pressure. | Not a missile boat or torpedo platform. |
| Useful choice for Aopoa / Xi’an collectors. | Combat value depends heavily on pilot skill and current fighter balance. |
| Distinctive silhouette and movement make it stand out from human fighters. | Not as straightforward or forgiving as a standard human medium fighter. |
Who Should Buy the San'tok.yāi?
The San'tok.yāi is best for players who want a Xi’an medium fighter with clear alien identity and movement-focused combat. It is especially suitable for Aopoa collectors, alien ship fans, solo fighter pilots, dogfighters who enjoy strafe control, and players who already own practical ships and now want something more unusual.
It is also a good choice for players who like the Khartu-al but want a more direct combat ship. The San'tok.yāi keeps the alien flight identity but steps into a heavier medium-fighter role.
Players who want cargo, bed logging, or daily utility should avoid it. Players who want a tougher human medium fighter should compare the Super Hornet. Players who want stealth should compare the Sabre. Players who want a lighter alien fighter should compare the Khartu-al, Blade, or Talon. But for players who want a true Aopoa Xi’an medium fighter, the San'tok.yāi is one of the more distinctive alien combat ships in Star Citizen.
San'tok.yāi FAQ
Is the San'tok.yāi worth buying in Star Citizen?

Yes, it can fit PvE bounty gameplay as a medium fighter, especially when the pilot uses movement and short firing windows well. Exact performance depends on current patch balance, weapon tuning, target type, and pilot skill.
Is the San'tok.yāi good for PvP?
The San'tok.yāi can be attractive for PvP pilots who like dogfighting and movement control. However, it should not be marketed as a guaranteed meta ship because fighter balance, handling, and weapon tuning can change.
Does the San'tok.yāi have a bed or interior?
No. RSI says the San'tok.yāi is short on creature comforts and has no cargo, storage, or living space. It is a combat-focused military medium fighter.
Is the San'tok.yāi durable?
It is not the most durable medium fighter. RSI says the Xi’an thruster arrangement gives superior movement, but exposed articulated components make the structure less durable under fire than more traditional human designs.
Does the San'tok.yāi have good long-term value?
Yes. The San'tok.yāi has useful long-term value for players who want a true Xi’an medium fighter, Aopoa collector value, and an alien combat style that differs from human fighters. Its main limitation is clear: it is a specialized fighter with no utility, and its effectiveness depends heavily on movement skill and current combat balance.
