The '''Starlancer MAX''' is a [[StarCitizen::Category:Cargo ships|medium freighter]] developed by [[StarCitizen:Musashi Industrial and Starflight Concern]]. It is designed specifically for deep space operations and features two cargo holds. This vessel enables freelance operators and commercial enterprises to explore further into the 'verse, pushing beyond established boundaries to support the expansion of Humanity's frontiers.<ref name="StarlancerMAXStore">{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/pledge/ships/starlancer/Starlancer-MAX|text=Starlancer MAX|accessdate=2024-10-20}}</ref><ref name="StarlancerMAXLaunch">{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/20214-MISC-Starlancer-MAX|text=Comm-Link: MISC Starlancer MAX|accessdate=2024-10-20}}</ref>

==Features==
{{List item|Cargo hold|The [[StarCitizen:Starlancer MAX]] has the capacity to transport a maximum of 224 SCU of cargo across its two holds - the forward, side-accessible hold supports 128 SCU and is optimised for 32 SCU freight containers while the rear-accessible Starlancer-standard hold supports 96 SCU and space for a vehicle such as the [[StarCitizen:Ursa]] or [[StarCitizen:MTC]],<ref name="StarlancerMAXStore"/> or can exchange cargo space entirely to fit a larger vehicle such as a [[StarCitizen:Tumbril]] [[StarCitizen:Storm]].<ref name="4.4ig"/>
}}
{{List item
|Crew comforts
|The '''Starlancer MAX''' features four generously sized crew quarters, each equipped with a double bed. Additionally, the vessel boasts a large mess hall that includes a pool table, ensuring that journeys aboard will feel like a home away from home.<ref name="StarlancerMAXStore"/>
}}
{{List item
|Guns
|The vessel is equipped with two pilot-operated remote-controlled gun turrets positioned on both sides of the bridge, each armed with a pair of Size 4 guns, in addition to two more remote turrets mounted dorsally, both also outfitted with a pair of Size 4 guns.<ref name="StarlancerMAXStore"/>
}}
{{List item
|Missiles
|In addition to its guns, the vessel is equipped with four racks capable of accommodating four Size 3 missiles each.<ref name="StarlancerMAXStore"/>
}}
{{List item
|Stowage
|The vessel is equipped with four internal personal storage compartments, each capable of accommodating up to 1,500 µSCU of items. Additionally, it features weapon and utility racks that can support four Size 2 racks and six Size 1 racks, suitable for carrying FPS weapons or utility tools.<ref name="StarlancerMAXStore"/>
}}

===Flaws===
{{List item|Component redundancy|The [[StarCitizen:Starlancer MAX]] pairs both of its power-plants in a single [[StarCitizen:engineering]] cabinet and both of its coolers in another single engineering cabinet. This severely limits component redundancy as these two cabinets are both individually critical to the ship's function and the effective loss of one will negate the effectiveness of the other.<ref name="4.4ig">{{Cite game|build=[[StarCitizen:Star Citizen Alpha 4.4.0|Alpha 4.4.0]]|text=In-game experience|accessdate=2025-12-07}}</ref> The ship's battery placement repeats this issue in a third engineering cabinet.<ref>{{Cite game|build=[[StarCitizen:Star Citizen Alpha 4.5.0|Alpha 4.5.0]]|accessdate=2025-12-19}}</ref>
}}
{{List item
|Turret coverage
|The [[StarCitizen:Starlancer MAX]] mounts both primary crew-operated remote turrets dorsally. This presents an imbalanced and incomplete defence as these turrets cannot provide ventral coverage, an issue which is exacerbated by the inability of crew to assume control of the forward and side-mounted pilot-slaved remote turrets which together have nearly complete coverage of the ventral hemisphere.<ref name="4.4ig"/>
}}
{{List item
|Hab inequality
|Habs 01 and 02 of the [[StarCitizen:Starlancer MAX]] have a reduced footprint compared to Habs 03 and 04. The latter benefit from additional shelving and floor space.<ref name="4.4ig"/>
