Star Citizen introduced the Starlancer series from MISC at CitizenCon 2024, which is a whole new ship series coming in three variants: BLD, TAC, and MAX.
Starlancer BLD
BLD is a construction-focused ship that comes with four Large construction drones. Using these drones players can build smaller buildings as well as building large-sized structures, though they won’t be able to build Extra-Large bases.
Starlancer BLD is still in production and not available for pre-order yet, which is why there is no price tag for it at the moment.
Here are the specs for BLD:
- 4x Large Construction Drones

- 2x Size-2 Power Plants
- 1x Size-3 Shield Generator

Starlancer TAC
TAC is the military variant of the Starlancer series that comes with better weapons, more turrets, more shield generators, and a hangar specialized for the Mirai Fury series. The ship will have a medical station with two Tier-3 medbeds as well as a habitation area and a series of drop seats to deploy on-foot reinforcements.
Starlancer TAC is now available for pre-order and it is aimed to be released in 2025. Here is the price:
- Normal Offer: $330
- 10-year Insurance
