RSI Site for public view, this looks for now my favourite ship, as i love team work, exploration, trading, and adventure. 

We have a long way ahead, but with the collective power of the fans of the genre, i see us much sooner, flying these babies.

The ship deserves a thread on it's own, here for discussion too, and i would appreciate that everyone stays on topic, which is just the Constellation Ship for Star Citizen.

PS: Yes i am a fan, don't force me to low dive, my lasers ain't built for earthworm targeting:)...damn...where are the carpet bomb controls?:) I leave to those fast enough to make similar threads, for the rest of the ships already announced.

When you think handsome bounty hunter making his own way in a galaxy of enemies, you think the Constellation. The Constellation, a multi-person freighter, is the most popular ship in RSI’s current production array. Constellations are beloved by smugglers and merchants alike because they are modular, high powered… and just downright iconic-looking. The Constellation includes a manned turret, a large cargo area and a small flight deck capable of launching a snub fighter in its own defense.

BIG DISCLAIMER: These are our current specifications on paper. Some of this is likely to change during the 3D design and game balancing process over the next 24 months. Despite this they should give a good indication of the relative features and abilities of the 5 initial ships that are available to early backers

I guess I start saving up for one then.

Hey, the picture that is under the description is not the Constellation.  That is the frontal view of the Hornet.  There is a side view of the Constellation further up the page, the one that is round like the Millenium Falcon, only the Constellation flies in a vertical orientation.

True, indeed thanks for correcting me:)

I think Constellation enthusiasts abroad have been wondering the same thing:

Just how does will the cargo hold in Constellation work?   How will we be able to get to the cockpit of our P52 fighter when the cargo hold is full?  How do you access the sleeping area or the lavatory when you have a full cargo hold?  How do we load and off-load cargo when we have a P52 on board, does the P52 have to be jetisoned out of the bottom first in order to unload the cargo?
