StarCitizen:Meteor: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 13:36, 17 May 2026

The Meteor is a medium fighter derived from the StarCitizen:Mantis chassis, developed by StarCitizen:Roberts Space Industries. Equipped with formidable weaponry, the Meteor presents a daunting challenge for adversaries. Drawing influence from the legendary Mantis, this medium fighter opts out of quantum enforcement, incorporating instead two custom S5 ballistic cannons and four single-load S4 missile racks, thereby establishing the Meteor as a powerful entity capable of illuminating the sky akin to a shooting star.<ref name=MeteorStore>Template:Cite RSI</ref><ref name=MeteorLaunch>Template:Cite RSI</ref>

Classification and Role

While the Meteor is classified as a medium fighter, it differs from its other medium contemporaries by possessing traits normally found in several different classifications: The Meteor has the armament and interior normally found in a heavy fighter, the flight performance of a medium interceptor, and the hull strength and shielding of a light fighter.<ref name=":0">Template:Cite RSI</ref>

In comparison to other medium fighters, the Meteor excels in straight-line performance and lacks in maneuverability and staying power, optimised for the task of achieving victory in the first strike.<ref name="MeteorLaunch" /><ref name=":0" />

Trivia

The RSI Meteor was briefly announced by StarCitizen:John Crewe while being interviewed on a special Star Citizen (Not So) Live episode, which was premiered to the audience during the 2025 Beijing StarCitizen:Bar Citizen event. He described it as a ship that "Punches above its weight".<ref name="BCBeijing2025">Bar Citizen Beijing May 2025 on bilibili.com</ref>
RSI has partnered with PAW to set a new standard for sustainable shipbuilding with the release of the Meteor. Designed with a commitment to protect [[StarCitizen::Category:Fauna|wildlife]], preserve habitats, and ensure clean materials throughout the entire manufacturing process.<ref>"RSI has partnered with PAW to set a new standard for sustainable shipbuilding with the release of the new Meteor.
