Constellation Aquila Guide, Specs & Features
What to know
The RSI Constellation Aquila is a multi-crew explorer with a long-range scanner turret, a carried Ursa Rover, a P-52 Merlin snub, and practical cargo space. It links orbital survey, local flight, and surface travel inside one familiar Constellation platform.
Constellation Aquila specifications
Three ways to investigate the same destination
The Aquila can scan from the main ship, send the Merlin for a closer look in space, or deploy the Ursa when the work reaches the ground. That layered approach lets the crew choose the best-suited vehicle instead of forcing the full Constellation into every part of the expedition.
An explorer, rover, and snub carried together
Long-range sensors identify the route and target, the main hull carries crew and supplies, and two smaller vehicles extend the investigation. The value is how those pieces work together rather than any one range figure.
Development note: The Constellation Aquila is flight ready and entered the live game in Alpha 3.0.0. Because Star Citizen remains in active development, specifications, features, and imagery may change over time.
Beyond the Constellation Aquila's scanner
With the scanner turret, Ursa rover, and Merlin snub, the Constellation Aquila can find or reach something worth examining. The Constellation Aquila's support systems let the crew stay and investigate instead of turning back once a promising site is found.
A dedicated top-mounted sensor station improves detection, communication, and survey work beyond the standard Constellation package.
The carried six-wheel rover moves crew, equipment, and supplies beyond the Aquila's landing point.
A docked light craft supports local reconnaissance and close inspection without moving the larger ship.
Scan data is easier to use when the crew can compare results at a dedicated workstation.
Tools, suits, and surface equipment remain within reach when the crew is ready to investigate.
The Aquila scanner, snub, and rover expedition package
A dedicated scanner turret and jump-point navigation sensors help the Aquila chart the route ahead. An included Ursa rover carries the investigation across the surface, while a docked P-52 Merlin gives the crew a compact craft for local scouting and support.
Long-range scanning backed by an Ursa rover and Merlin snub
Use the scanner turret, Ursa rover, and Merlin snub to decide which signal, location, or route deserves more of the Constellation Aquila's time and supplies.
Choose the Constellation Aquila's next step from the discovery: map it, visit it, or collect a sample.
Save the maps, samples, and scan records gathered through the scanner turret, Ursa rover, and Merlin snub for the journey home.
Deep-Space Expedition in action
An expedition in the Constellation Aquila begins with a destination, uses the scanner turret, Ursa rover, and Merlin snub for a closer investigation, and preserves the range and equipment needed for the return.
-
Give the voyage a clear survey or research goal
The crew gives the Constellation Aquila one clear exploration goal before spending its distance and supplies.
-
Scan the site before deploying from the Constellation Aquila
The Constellation Aquila's crew uses the scanner turret, Ursa rover, and Merlin snub to investigate the site, then records maps, readings, and findings for the return journey.
-
Take people and equipment beyond the Constellation Aquila's first scan
For the Constellation Aquila, a closer look may send a rover, shuttle, suited crew, or specialist equipment beyond the main ship.
-
Protect the records, samples, and enough fuel and supplies to return
The Constellation Aquila leaves the site with enough fuel, supplies, and ship condition to protect the crew and findings on the way home.
Constellation Aquila's expedition equipment in detail
The Constellation Aquila uses its scanner turret, Ursa rover, and Merlin snub to start an investigation, then provides the range, field equipment, supplies, and living space needed to continue away from port.
Flight, navigation, scanning, engineering, and expedition decisions can be divided between dedicated crew roles.
The hold carries supplies, recovered items, or expedition equipment alongside the rover and its support gear.
Weapons and defensive systems give the explorer options when a remote route becomes dangerous.
Aboard the Constellation Aquila, route planning and fuel awareness give the crew enough margin to use the gun battery beyond familiar stops.
The Constellation Aquila carries everything needed for the expedition
The crew prepares enough range and supplies for both the investigation and the return.
Turn sensor readings into routes for the rover and snub
The crew uses the Constellation Aquila's scanner turret, Ursa rover, and Merlin snub to investigate the destination while managing navigation, fieldwork, supplies, and the journey home.
Give the Constellation Aquila a destination worth the distance and the tools needed to examine it.
The Constellation Aquila's operator uses the scanner turret, Ursa rover, and Merlin snub to choose where mapping, sample collection, surface travel, or a closer inspection should begin.
The Constellation Aquila combines long-range supplies, maintenance access, and secure storage with the scanner turret, Ursa rover, and Merlin snub for work far from port.
