7) Star Citizen- Constellations (Andromeda, Phoenix, Aquilla and Taurus)

Star Citizen Constellations

My first ship review however I am going to look at 4 ships instead of 1..
The Constellation ships are the most popular ships on the RSI website. They are multipurpose vessels for 4-5 people whether you are a merchant or an explorer, the constellation will fill your every need.
The constellations come in 4 base types however customisable options are available. They are the Andromeda, the Phoenix, Aquilla and Taurus.



The Andromeda:

The Andromeda is a perfect all rounder for those who aren't quite sure what they want to do or those who don't want to specialise. It doesn't quite have the same amount of firepower as the Phoenix or the same amount of storage as the Taurus, however, there's a reason its the most popular ship: Out of all the constellations this is probably the best value for money, it comes with an RSI jump drive and even a p52-merlin short ranged fighter which can be deployed at any time. The Andromeda can easily hold it's own in a fight so you will be able to travel in perfect safety and comfort.




The Phoenix:

From Richard Branson comes the new era of Virgin Galactic for the billionaires out there. This luxurious cruiser comes with a hot tub a cocktail bar and a lounge to suit all your needs. Or should I say wants... On the more practical side of things the Phoenix comes with an archimedes fighter and a lynx rover for planetary exploration. Expensive dampening technology is used to block sensors from your cargo. This make a perfect flagship for organisations or simply an opportunity to act smug and stick your fingers up out the window, your choice. However the Phoenix does come with a hefty price tag so think about whether it suits you before you buy it.





Aquilla:

The constellation Aqiuilla is designed for exploration. This long distance beast is fitted with a RSI jump drive, p52-merlin fighter, a Ursa rover, long distance scanners, a huge fuel tank complete with an advanced cooling system.  The Aquilla is fitted with a science research room on top which you can swap for a turret (screw science :P) it also has a turret underneath.  This costellation has HUGE cockpit windows almost allowing for a 360 view! Well, you've got to be able to see if your exploring..  People went mad for this ship ever since the advert came out making it the second most popular constellation.



 Taurus:

The Constellation Taurus is the budget constellation dedicated to hauling with a massive hold for cargo. The Taurus is the least popular because everyone seems to spend their money on the more expensive constellations. However the Taurus has over 3 times the cargo space that the phoenix has and with it's scan proof cargo hold it makes the perfect smuggler ship for evading customs. I admit it's not an amazing looking ship but what it lacks in style it makes up for in practicality.
