Starlancer MAX Guide, Specs & Features
What to know
The Starlancer MAX is a medium freighter developed by Musashi Industrial and Starflight Concern. On the Starlancer MAX, usable cargo space and direct loading access make freight easier to load, secure, and deliver.
Starlancer MAX specifications
The loading plan behind every Starlancer MAX run
The Starlancer MAX is built for cargo that has somewhere specific to go. The two cargo holds and vehicle-ready rear bay, loading equipment, and destination access shape the route before departure. The Starlancer MAX carries 224 SCU across two holds: a 128-SCU side-access hold for large freight containers and a 96-SCU rear hold. Habs 01 and 02 of the Starlancer MAX have a reduced footprint compared to Habs 03 and 04. The latter benefit from additional shelving and floor space.
The cargo equipment that keeps the Starlancer MAX moving
For the Starlancer MAX, usable cargo space and direct loading access make freight easier to load, secure, and deliver.
Development note: The Starlancer MAX is flight ready and entered the live game in Alpha 3.24.3. Because Star Citizen remains in active development, specifications, features, and imagery may change over time.
Starlancer MAX's cargo equipment
The Starlancer MAX turns the two cargo holds and vehicle-ready rear bay into working cargo capacity through direct loading access, secure transit, and a simple unload.

Container size must match both the cargo grid and the route through the loading door.
The crew needs suitable loading equipment to use the full cargo capacity.
Two holds built around different loads
The Starlancer MAX splits 224 SCU between a 128-SCU side-access hold optimized for 32-SCU containers and a 96-SCU rear hold that can carry an Ursa or MTC. The crew can plan container freight and vehicle support as distinct parts of the same route.
224 SCU across a side-loading hold and a vehicle-ready rear bay
Match the load carried by the two cargo holds and vehicle-ready rear bay to the container sizes and equipment available at both ends of the Starlancer MAX's route.
Keep the load carried by the two cargo holds and vehicle-ready rear bay restrained, balanced, and clear of the access the crew still needs.
Arrange the load carried by the two cargo holds and vehicle-ready rear bay in the order the destination can receive it so unloading stays straightforward.
The Starlancer MAX in a cargo route
A successful freight run in the Starlancer MAX begins with the customer and loading order, keeps the two cargo holds and vehicle-ready rear bay secure in transit, and ends at a destination equipped to unload it.
-
Plan the freight around the MAX's hold and destination
The Starlancer MAX should carry loads that fit its access points and the unloading equipment at the destination.
-
Arrange the load around access at the destination
Loading the Starlancer MAX in delivery order keeps the first delivery accessible and the access routes clear.
-
Secure the Starlancer MAX's cargo without blocking crew access
Aboard the Starlancer MAX, a practical loading plan keeps cargo carried by the two cargo holds and vehicle-ready rear bay secure, accessible, and ready to unload at the destination.
-
Unload the Starlancer MAX in delivery order
The crew removes the last container, checks the Starlancer MAX's restraints, and leaves the cargo space ready to load again.
The Starlancer MAX, from loading to delivery
The Starlancer MAX uses its two cargo holds and vehicle-ready rear bay to keep cargo moving from loading and secure transport to delivery at the destination.
The Starlancer MAX mounts its two crew-operated remote turrets on top of the hull. They cover threats above and around the ship, but cannot protect its underside.
A clear loading path lets the crew use more of the Starlancer MAX's cargo capacity without blocking essential access.
For the Starlancer MAX, a planned load keeps containers restrained, balanced, and clear of the controls and doors the crew still needs.
Inside the Starlancer MAX, crew movement and service access remain important after the cargo is aboard and the route begins.
The Starlancer MAX's route begins with the unload plan
Freight stays manageable aboard the Starlancer MAX when the crew protects access, balance, and the unloading order.
Plan the Starlancer MAX's hold around the destination
Loading order, clear access, and destination equipment determine how the Starlancer MAX uses the two cargo holds and vehicle-ready rear bay.
Container size and destination equipment decide whether the Starlancer MAX can complete the delivery without rebuilding the load halfway through.
The Starlancer MAX's crew restrains each container, balances the load, and keeps doors, controls, and the first delivery accessible.
Turnaround aboard the Starlancer MAX includes a clean unload, an equipment inspection, and an accurate picture of the capacity still available.
