A pilot's spacecraft is the primary way a player character will interact with the Star Citizen universe. Spacecraft are available in a large variety of sizes and vary in what roles they are best suited for.
Spacecraft configuration[]
Spacecraft can be reconfigured by upgrading and replacing various components. There are three broad categories of components:
- Engine: Engine components affect the ship's speed, maneuverability, and available energy.
- Upgrade modules: Includes components that are not part of the engine system and which do not mount on a hardpoint.
- They include but may not be limited to enhanced cargo holds, internal bulkheads, avionics upgrades, refinery tools, gun capacitors, jump drives, and shield generators.
- Hardpoint systems: Usually weapons, hardpoint systems are external modules mounted on hardpoints.
- In addition to weapons, hardpoint systems include tractor beams, radar pods, drop tanks, additional ammunition, and special scanners.
Spacecraft manufacturers[]
Several companies compete in the mass production of spacecraft. The better-known ones are:
- Aegis Dynamics
- Anvil Aerospace
- Consolidated Outland
- Drake Interplanetary
- Musashi Industrial & Starflight Concern
