The video provides an in-depth missile guide and gameplay testing for the Constellation Mark 5 Centaurus in Star Citizen, focusing on its impressive missile capacity of 64 size two missiles. The ship features two missile ports beneath the bridge, each holding 16 missiles, and additional missile walls inside the ship that can store another 32 missiles. However, the video highlights that missiles stocked on the missile walls are not saved in the insurance loadout, meaning players must rearm missiles in the ports after reclaiming the ship. The guide explains the three main types of missiles available in the game: cross-section, infrared (IR), and electromagnetic (EM). Each missile type has distinct damage values and locking mechanisms. Cross-section missiles generally deal the highest damage, followed by EM missiles, with IR missiles doing the least damage except for the special Regular 2 (RER 2) missile. The RER 2 missile is unique because it carries multiple small warheads that significantly increase its total damage but has a shorter maximum lock range compared to other missiles. A key part of the video is a tutorial on missile locking mechanics, emphasizing the importance of understanding the target’s signature values (IR, EM, and cross-section) as displayed on the ship’s MFD (Multi-Function Display). Locking effectiveness depends on these values and the missile’s minimum and maximum lock ranges. The video demonstrates missile firing on various ships, showing how missile effectiveness varies based on the target’s stealth and size, with EM missiles being the easiest to lock and generally the most effective in combat. The presenter tests all three missile types on different ships, noting that cross-section missiles are more effective against larger ships with bigger signatures, while IR missiles struggle against stealthy or highly maneuverable fighters. EM missiles stand out as the most user-friendly and versatile, offering longer lock ranges and reliable hits across various targets. The video also discusses the practical use of missiles, suggesting they are often best used to reduce enemy armor to improve ballistic weapon effectiveness rather than solely for destruction. Finally, the video shares practical tips for stocking missiles on the Mark 5’s missile walls quickly and efficiently, using the ship’s port unlocking mechanism and tractor beams to transfer missiles rapidly. Restocking costs are minimal, and the process can be completed in just a few minutes. The guide concludes with a humorous test of missile blast radius damage on the player’s own ship, reinforcing the importance of careful missile handling. Overall, the video is a comprehensive resource for mastering missile use on the Constellation Mark 5. ## Useful Links - [Star Citizen Wiki — Missiles](https://starcitizen.tools/Missile) — Best substantiation for the missile-type and lock-mechanics explanation. - [Star Citizen Wiki — Constellation Andromeda / Constellation series missile loadout](https://starcitizen.tools/Constellation_Mk_V_Centaurus) — Useful for verifying ship missile rack capacity and storage details. - [Star Citizen Wiki — Missile Operator Mode / Missile locking mechanics](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_b9VoZd4DmU&xstg=CAMSBhUDzO3xHw%3D%3D) — Directly supports the firing/locking tutorial portions of the video.
