RSI Constellation Mk V – Which Paint Is Best? | Star Citizen

The creator reviews various RSI Constellation Mark V skins in Star Citizen, favoring the Patrician white and orange paint for its fitting and less toy-like appearance, while expressing disappointment with the black and red options due to their dull and toy-like looks. They also note the impact of lighting on the paints’ appeal and encourage viewers to share their favorite skins and follow their daily streams.

In this video, the creator reviews the new skins available for the RSI Constellation Mark V in Star Citizen, starting with the Black Form paint. They express disappointment with the black paint, noting that it appears more like a gunmetal gray rather than a true black, which diminishes its appeal. The purple accents on the belly are visible but make the ship look somewhat toy-like, a recurring issue the creator notices with certain colors in the game.

Next, the Convergence skin, a shade of blue with hints of yellow, is examined. The creator finds this paint job decent and more visually appealing than the black, with a subtler belly design. While not the best, it is considered the second-best option so far. The red Heritage paint, however, is less favored, described as resembling a fire truck and again suffering from a toy-like appearance. The creator acknowledges that red paint has historically been difficult for the game to render attractively.

The video then covers the Magnitude livery, part of the concierge bundle, which features gold trim and looks better in certain lighting conditions, particularly in the hangar. The creator notes that lighting and future graphical improvements like ray tracing and global illumination could significantly affect how these paints appear. The Star Walker paint, included in the RSI Discovery bundle, is also reviewed; while it has some appeal, the creator feels it is overpriced at around $40 and would prefer a deeper red instead of orange accents.

Finally, the Patrician paint is highlighted as the creator’s favorite. This white and orange scheme is seen as fitting for the Constellation and less toy-like than others. The orange-tinted glass adds to its appeal, and it reminds the creator of a similar paint available for another ship, the Perseus. The video concludes with the creator inviting viewers to share their favorite skins and promoting their daily streams on Twitch and YouTube.
