== Model History ==
=== Mark I ===
The Mark I Constellation had a two-person cockpit, and no snub ship. An example of this vessel is the [[StarCitizen:Plumetail]].<ref name=":1">{{Cite Jump Point|title=Void Rats Part II|volume=1|month=6|startpage=49|endpage=56|accessdate=2021-05-17|author1=Doug Niles}}</ref><ref>{{Cite Jump Point|title=The Void Rats, Part III|volume=1|month=7|startpage=49|endpage=56|accessdate=2021-05-17|author1=Doug Niles}}</ref>

=== 2918 Model ===
The 2918 Model is regarded as a poor model, and a rare misstep for the company. This model did come equipped with a [[StarCitizen:P-52 Merlin]]. The [[StarCitizen:Harlequin]] is an example of a 2918 model.<ref>{{Cite Jump Point|title=Drifters: Episode 1|volume=5|month=1|startpage=48|endpage=60|accessdate=2021-05-17|author1=Dave Haddock}}</ref> This ''may'' be synonymous with a 'Mark II' Constellation, but this is only a speculation based on the date and description.

=== Mark III ===
Mark III Constellations were in production by 2934 at the latest, and considered standard in 2942.<ref name=":1" /> The [[StarCitizen:Constellation Phoenix]] concept was originally based on a Mark III Constellation.<ref name=":0">{{Cite Jump Point|title=Whitley's Guide: RSI Constellation Phoenix|volume=6|month=10|startpage=35|endpage=38|accessdate=2021-05-17}}</ref>

=== Mark IV ===
Mark IV Constellations were planned for release in 2942, but this was later pushed back to 2944.<ref name=":0" /> While they did launch for sale that year, the vessels were branded as the 2945 Constellation variants.<ref>Constellation Aquilla Ship Brochure</ref><ref>Constellation Andromeda Ship Brochure</ref><ref>Constellation Phoenix Ship Brochure</ref><ref>Constellation Taurus Ship Brochure</ref>

== Development ==
The original [[StarCitizen:Constellation (series)|four variants]] for the Constellation were designed by [[StarCitizen:David Hobbins]] and [[StarCitizen:Gurmukh Bhasin]]. Once their work was complete, CGBot converted all four ships into CryEngine, with contributions by [[StarCitizen:Dennia Aguilar]] (3D Artist), [[StarCitizen:Chuy Alanis]] (Lead Artist), amongst others.<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=engineering/14201-WIP-Constellation-Variants|text=Comm-Link - WIP: Constellation Variants}}</ref> In February 2016 the Constellation got an additional revamp by [[StarCitizen:Chris Smith]] (Lead Vehicle/Weapon Artist) and [[StarCitizen:Josh Coons]] (3D Modeler).<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=comm-link/transmission/15210-WIP-Constellation-Freelancer-Upgrades|text=Comm-Link - WIP: Constellation & Freelancer Upgrades}}</ref>

The Constellation Phoenix went through a rework since its release in the [[StarCitizen:Hangar module]], and it was released in {{Alpha|3.3.0}}.<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=comm-link/transmission/16764-Alpha-33-Flyable-Ships|text=Alpha 3.3 flyable ships}}</ref>
