RSI Polaris is the first-ever capital ship to be released in Star Citizen, and that already makes it the most anticipated upcoming ship to many of the players, no matter if they have already pledged for it or not.

Cloud Imperium Games officially revealed during CitizenCon 2024 that RSI Polaris would release in Q4 2024. And here we are! The ship is already in the PTU servers of Alpha 3.24.3, and it will be available in Live servers on November 22. Also, anyone can rent it for free on November 26 and November 27, when RSI showcases its products at IAE 2954.

Updated on November 9, 2024: We added all the details for the ship stats after its release on the PTU servers.

RSI Polaris Price And Loaner

RSI Polaris landed on a pad

The pre-order price tag for RSI Polaris is $750, but the ship is not available for pre-order anymore, and when it launches at IAE 2954, it will likely be priced a little higher than the concept sale. This increase in price is usually around 10%, but we can’t confirm it at the moment.

Those who have already pre-ordered Polaris receive access to Hammerhead and Vanguard Harbinger as loaners until Polaris is officially released onto the live servers.

RSI Polaris Stats And Loadout

RSI Polaris opening its hangar

As a capital ship, Polaris will come with a hangar that is estimated to fit ships as big as the Crusader Ares series. You can check the full list of ships that fit inside the hangar here.

When it comes to the ship’s loadout, Polaris will not have pilot weapons, which is not surprising for a capital ship of this size. The most impressive part of the loadout, however, is the torpedo bay that comes with 28 torpedoes distributed between four missile racks.
