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.

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.

Aopoa San'tok.yāi Standalone Ship Gameplay Guide
The Aopoa San'tok.yāi is a Xi'an medium fighter built for Star Citizen players who want high maneuverability, four dedicated energy weapons, unusual alien flight characteristics, and a combat-focused single-seat platform. Developed by Aopoa as a civilian export version of a Xi'an military fighter, the San'tok.yāi is not simply a larger Khartu-al. It is a direct-combat fighter designed to combine Xi'an agility with considerably more firepower and protection.
Unlike conventional fighters such as the Sabre or Hornet, the San'tok.yāi uses Xi'an dual-vector thruster technology and a distinctive rotating flight structure to create a very different handling profile. Its main combat package includes four Size 3 Yeng'tu laser repeaters, eight Size 2 missiles, and a dedicated defensive system built around a Size 2 shield generator.
Current gameplay reference data lists the San'tok.yāi as Flight Ready, with one pilot, 0 SCU cargo, an SCM speed of 227 m/s, a maximum speed of 1,161 m/s, four Size 3 pilot-controlled laser repeaters, and eight Size 2 missiles. Its combination of alien maneuverability and medium-fighter firepower makes it one of the more distinctive solo combat ships in Star Citizen.
Build Your Alien Fighter Fleet with the San'tok.yāi
The San'tok.yāi remains one of the key choices for players who want a serious Xi'an combat fighter rather than a lighter scout. 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
Engineered around Xi'an maneuvering technology and direct fighter combat, the San'tok.yāi combines four dedicated laser repeaters with strong mobility and a compact single-seat layout.
| Specification | Aopoa San'tok.yāi | Gameplay Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Manufacturer | Aopoa | An authentic Xi'an-produced export fighter adapted for Human pilots. |
| Role | Medium Fighter | Built for direct combat rather than scouting or general utility. |
| Status | Flight Ready | The San'tok.yāi entered the LIVE environment with Alpha 3.22. |
| Length | 24m reference | Compact fighter dimensions despite its wide and visually unusual flight profile. |
| Crew | 1 pilot | Fully usable by a solo combat pilot. |
| Cargo Capacity | 0 SCU | A dedicated fighter with no normal cargo-hauling role. |
| Primary Weapons | 4 Size 3 Yeng'tu Laser Repeaters | Gives the pilot strong concentrated energy firepower. |
| Missile Loadout | 8 Size 2 missiles | Adds secondary pressure against fighters and medium targets. |
| SCM Speed | 227 m/s current reference | Supports an agile medium-fighter combat profile. |
| Maximum Speed | 1,161 m/s current reference | Useful for repositioning and disengaging from poor fights. |
| Core Gameplay | Medium fighter combat, dogfighting, interception | Best for pilots who value maneuverability and direct energy-weapon combat. |
Note: Star Citizen ship specifications may change during future patches and balance updates. Exact weapons, shields, speeds, components, and flight values should be treated as gameplay-reference information rather than permanent final numbers.
What Makes the San'tok.yāi Valuable?
The San'tok.yāi is valuable because it brings Xi'an maneuverability into a more heavily armed direct-combat fighter. The Khartu-al demonstrates how agile Xi'an flight technology can be, but the San'tok.yāi adds the weapon package and defensive capability needed for a more serious medium-fighter role.
Its main appeal comes from the combination of four Size 3 Yeng'tu laser repeaters and the ship's dual-vector thruster system. The San'tok.yāi does not need to choose between unusual alien handling and respectable forward firepower. Both are central to the design.
The ship also has a clear identity. It does not carry cargo, support a crew, transport vehicles, or provide living space. Nearly everything about the San'tok.yāi exists to help one pilot fight.
For players who enjoy fighters but want something very different from a Hornet, Sabre, or Gladius, that distinctive flight experience is a major part of its value.
Medium Fighter Combat Gameplay Role
The San'tok.yāi's main role is direct medium-fighter combat. Within the Xi'an military structure, it occupies a different position from the Khartu-al. The Khartu-al is primarily a light fighter, scout, and skirmisher, while the San'tok.yāi is designed as a more heavily armed direct combatant.
That distinction makes the San'tok.yāi much easier to understand. It is not a reconnaissance ship with weapons added to it. Combat is the reason the ship exists.
| Gameplay Use | Why the San'tok.yāi Fits |
|---|---|
| Medium-fighter combat | Four Size 3 repeaters provide meaningful pilot-controlled firepower. |
| Dogfighting | Xi'an maneuvering technology supports aggressive positional combat. |
| Interception | Strong speed and maneuverability help the pilot close on or pursue targets. |
| PvE bounty combat | Solo layout and energy weapons work well for repeated fighter engagements. |
| Escort missions | Can stay close to valuable ships and respond quickly to fighter threats. |
| Organization combat | Adds a highly mobile direct-combat fighter to a larger fleet. |
The San'tok.yāi should not be treated like a larger Khartu-al. The Khartu-al emphasizes speed, responsiveness, and skirmishing. The San'tok.yāi gives up some of that extreme light-fighter character in exchange for more firepower and a stronger direct-combat role.
Yeng'tu Laser Repeater Firepower
One of the San'tok.yāi's defining features is its set of four Size 3 Yeng'tu laser repeaters. These weapons were developed by Torral Aggregate using Xi'an-inspired technology and are closely associated with the San'tok.yāi platform.
Four Size 3 weapons give the ship a straightforward offensive layout. All of the main guns contribute to the pilot's forward combat pressure, so the ship does not depend on a second crew member or turret operator to reach its intended damage output.
The Yeng'tu repeaters also fit the San'tok.yāi's maneuvering style. Repeaters work naturally with a fighter designed to remain active around a target, continually creating firing opportunities through movement rather than relying on a single heavy strike.
The San'tok.yāi is strongest when its maneuverability is used to create firing angles for all four Size 3 repeaters rather than simply trading shots head-on.
This makes positioning especially important. The ship's weapon package is capable, but its real advantage comes from combining that firepower with the unusual movement available from its Xi'an flight system.
Dual-Vector Thrusters and Maneuverability
The San'tok.yāi's most recognizable feature is its Xi'an dual-vector thruster system. Aopoa uses this technology to give the ship a movement profile that looks and feels different from conventional Human fighters.
The rotating thruster arrangement allows the ship to redirect thrust in ways that contribute to its strong lateral and maneuvering performance. This is one of the reasons both the San'tok.yāi and Khartu-al are known for unusual agility.
The San'tok.yāi is not as light or responsive as the Khartu-al. That is intentional. The lighter Khartu-al prioritizes speed and skirmishing, while the San'tok.yāi carries more weapons and is intended to remain involved in direct combat.
In practice, San'tok.yāi pilots benefit most when they use that maneuverability to control engagement geometry. Staying directly in front of an opponent and exchanging damage removes much of what makes the ship interesting.
Instead, the pilot should use lateral movement, roll control, boost, and changes in direction to create opportunities where the San'tok.yāi can fire without giving the opponent the same clean return angle.
Missile and Secondary Combat Utility
The San'tok.yāi carries four Size 3 missile racks, with the standard configuration providing a total of eight Size 2 missiles.
This gives the pilot a useful secondary weapon layer without changing the ship's core identity. The San'tok.yāi remains a gun-focused medium fighter, but missiles can help during approaches, pursuit, disengagement attempts, or fights where forcing an opponent to react creates a better firing opportunity.
Eight Size 2 missiles are particularly useful against fighter-sized targets. They can pressure an opponent into using countermeasures, interrupt a predictable flight path, or add damage while the pilot works to bring the Yeng'tu repeaters back onto target.
The missile package should be treated as support for the ship's guns rather than its primary source of damage.
The San'tok.yāi wins through movement and repeatable gun pressure. Its missiles help create the openings needed to keep that pressure working.
Players who want a missile-focused fighter may prefer something such as the Sabre Firebird. The San'tok.yāi is more comfortable when missiles remain part of a broader dogfighting strategy.
Shields and Combat Survivability
Current gameplay data places the San'tok.yāi on a Size 2 shield system, giving it meaningful defensive capacity for a medium fighter.
That protection is important because the ship is designed for direct combat rather than pure hit-and-run scouting. A San'tok.yāi pilot is expected to stay involved in an engagement longer than a Khartu-al pilot might.
Its survivability, however, should not encourage static fighting. Large surfaces, distinctive geometry, and exposed moving structures mean positioning remains important. The San'tok.yāi is at its best when shields and maneuverability work together.
The shield absorbs the mistakes that inevitably happen during a fight. The thrusters are what should prevent those mistakes from becoming continuous incoming damage.
This creates a defensive style based less on simply absorbing fire and more on making the ship difficult to hit cleanly.
Xi'an Cockpit and Fighter Design
The San'tok.yāi is an authentic Xi'an-produced spacecraft rather than a Human recreation of alien technology. Aopoa adapted the export model so Human pilots can operate it effectively while preserving the basic Xi'an design philosophy.
The cockpit uses Xi'an concepts adjusted for Human use, giving the ship a very different visual and operational atmosphere from most conventional UEE fighters.
That matters for players who buy ships partly because of identity. The San'tok.yāi does not feel like another variation of a Human fighter. Its cockpit, structure, thruster movement, weapon design, and landing configuration all reinforce its alien origin.
It also includes accessible component areas and weapon storage, giving the compact fighter some practical equipment utility even though it has no cargo grid or traditional interior.
The San'tok.yāi is one of the clearer choices for players who want alien technology to affect both how a ship looks and how it flies.
That gives it collector appeal beyond raw combat statistics.
Solo Gameplay
The San'tok.yāi is a true single-seat fighter. One pilot controls movement, all four primary weapons, missiles, shields, power management, and target selection.
There is no second crew position to fill and no turret that loses effectiveness when another player is unavailable. This makes the ship easy to deploy whenever the owner wants direct fighter gameplay.
A practical San'tok.yāi fight should begin with movement rather than raw damage. The pilot needs to identify the target's turning behavior, establish a favorable angle, and then use the ship's maneuverability to keep the four repeaters firing while avoiding unnecessary return fire.
Against lighter fighters, the challenge is maintaining control of the engagement without overshooting or losing the target during aggressive movement. Against medium fighters, the San'tok.yāi can lean more heavily on its combination of firepower and agility. Against heavy fighters, the pilot should avoid turning the fight into a simple durability contest.
| Pilot Responsibility | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Target Selection | Choose targets that suit the ship's medium-fighter capabilities. |
| Positioning | Use Xi'an maneuverability to create favorable firing angles. |
| Weapon Control | Keep all four Size 3 repeaters working together on the target. |
| Missile Timing | Use missiles to force reactions or support an approach. |
| Shield Management | Maintain enough defensive capacity to stay active in longer engagements. |
| Boost Management | Preserve mobility for repositioning and disengagement. |
| Disengagement | Avoid turning a poor fight into a durability contest. |
This is why the San'tok.yāi appeals strongly to solo fighter pilots. Its entire combat package is available from one seat, but the ship still rewards learning its unique movement rather than simply relying on weapon statistics.

San'tok.yāi vs Other Star Citizen Fighters
When comparing the San'tok.yāi with other fighters, its strongest distinction is the combination of medium-fighter firepower and Xi'an maneuvering technology.
| Ship Fleet Option | Primary Core Role | Compared with San'tok.yāi |
|---|---|---|
| Khartu-Al | Light Fighter / Scout | Faster and lighter with stronger skirmisher identity. The San'tok.yāi carries more weapons and is better suited to direct combat. |
| Sabre | Stealth Fighter | The Sabre emphasizes stealth and conventional fighter handling. The San'tok.yāi emphasizes Xi'an mobility and alien combat design. Supports Comet or Firebird models. |
| F7C-M Super Hornet Mk II | Two-Seat Medium Fighter | The Super Hornet supports pilot-and-gunner combat. The San'tok.yāi delivers its core combat package entirely to one pilot. Maps to Heartseeker. |
| F7C Hornet Mk II | Medium Fighter | More conventional and easier to understand. The San'tok.yāi offers a more unusual maneuvering profile and alien design. Fits F7A Mk II. |
| Scorpius | Heavy Fighter | Stronger when fully crewed with a gunner. The San'tok.yāi is a cleaner one-player combat platform. Supports Antares. |
| Blade | Alien Light Fighter | More Vanduul-focused and compact. The San'tok.yāi offers the broader medium-fighter role and Xi'an handling style. |
| Defender | Escort Fighter | Better for longer-duration escort utility and two-player flexibility. The San'tok.yāi is more focused on direct solo fighter combat. |
San'tok.yāi vs Khartu-Al
The Khartu-Al is the most important comparison because both ships represent Aopoa's Xi'an fighter technology.
The Khartu-Al is lighter, faster, and more responsive. Its role is closer to a light fighter, scout, and skirmisher. The San'tok.yāi is a medium fighter built for more direct combat, with four Size 3 weapons and a stronger overall combat package.
This difference is similar to the difference between a light fighter and a medium fighter in Human ship design. One prioritizes movement and skirmishing. The other adds enough firepower and protection to stay involved in a more serious fight.
Choose the Khartu-Al if maximum Xi'an agility and scouting-style combat are your priorities. Choose the San'tok.yāi if you want Xi'an maneuverability with more direct combat power.
San'tok.yāi vs Sabre
The Sabre and San'tok.yāi are both single-seat combat ships with four main weapons, but they approach fighter gameplay differently.
The Sabre has a conventional Human fighter layout with a strong stealth identity. It appeals to pilots who want lower-signature approaches, familiar handling, and Aegis military design.
The San'tok.yāi is more unusual. Its main advantage comes from Xi'an dual-vector thrusters, distinctive movement, Yeng'tu repeaters, and an alien design that changes the feel of the entire ship.
If you want stealth-oriented combat with conventional fighter behavior, choose the Sabre. If you want an agile Xi'an medium fighter with alien handling and direct-combat focus, choose the San'tok.yāi.
San'tok.yāi vs Super Hornet Mk II
The Super Hornet represents a more conventional approach to medium-fighter combat. It supports two-seat gameplay and gives a second player a meaningful combat role through its turret.
The San'tok.yāi keeps everything under the control of one pilot. Its four Size 3 weapons, missiles, shields, and maneuverability do not require a gunner to reach the ship's intended combat identity.
The Super Hornet Mk II is better for players who want a Human military-style fighter and the option to bring another player into combat. The San'tok.yāi is better for players who want solo fighter gameplay, Xi'an movement, and a much more unusual flying experience.
Choose the Super Hornet Mk II for two-seat medium-fighter teamwork. Choose the San'tok.yāi for a dedicated solo alien fighter.
San'tok.yāi Strengths and Limitations
| Strategic Strengths | Operational Limitations |
|---|---|
| Four Size 3 Yeng'tu laser repeaters provide strong pilot-controlled firepower. | Energy weapons still require good capacitor and firing discipline. |
| Xi'an dual-vector thrusters create a distinctive maneuvering profile. | Unusual handling can require more practice than conventional fighters. |
| Single-seat layout gives one pilot access to the complete combat package. | No second crew member or turret gunner can add extra combat coverage. |
| Eight Size 2 missiles provide useful secondary pressure. | Not a dedicated missile fighter. |
| Size 2 shield system supports direct medium-fighter combat. | Large visual profile and exposed geometry can make poor positioning costly. |
| 227 m/s SCM speed supports strong current fighter mobility. | Exact flight performance can change significantly with balance updates. |
| Authentic Xi'an design gives it strong collector and alien-ship appeal. | 0 SCU cargo and limited non-combat utility. |
| Flight Ready and fully usable in current gameplay. | Primarily useful to players interested in combat. |
Who Should Buy the San'tok.yāi?
The San'tok.yāi is best for players who want an alien medium fighter with strong solo firepower and a movement style that feels different from conventional Human ships. It is especially suitable for fighter pilots, PvE bounty hunters, organization combat pilots, alien-ship collectors, and players who already enjoy the Khartu-al but want a more direct-combat platform.
It is also a good choice for players who want their ship's manufacturer to matter. Flying the San'tok.yāi is not simply about using four Size 3 guns. Its cockpit, thrusters, landing configuration, weapon design, and movement all reinforce its Xi'an origin.
Players who want the lightest and most responsive Aopoa fighter may prefer the Khartu-al. Players who want stealth may prefer the Sabre. Players who want a conventional medium fighter may prefer the Hornet Mk II. Players who regularly fly with a gunner may get more value from the Super Hornet Mk II or Scorpius.
But for players who want a single-seat Xi'an medium fighter with four Size 3 repeaters, excellent maneuvering character, and one of the most recognizable alien designs in Star Citizen, the San'tok.yāi has a very clear role.

Choose the Super Hornet Mk II for two-player Hornet combat.
Is the San'tok.yāi good for dogfighting?
Yes. Dogfighting is one of the San'tok.yāi's main uses. Its dual-vector thrusters, strong maneuverability, four Size 3 repeaters, and single-seat combat layout make it well suited to direct fighter engagements.
Is the San'tok.yāi good for bounty hunting?
Yes. The San'tok.yāi can be a strong PvE bounty fighter, particularly for players comfortable with its unusual handling. Energy weapons reduce dependence on ballistic ammunition, while missiles provide additional pressure when needed.
Does the San'tok.yāi have good long-term value?
The San'tok.yāi has useful long-term value for players who specifically want Xi'an fighter gameplay. Its fundamental role is clear: a single-seat medium fighter with alien maneuverability, four Size 3 weapons, missile support, and direct-combat focus. Balance values may change, but its identity as Aopoa's more combat-oriented fighter remains well established.
