Why Can’t I Find Standalone Idris-P, Kraken, or Javelin Ships for Sale?

Modified on Mon, 26 Jan at 3:11 PM

Overview


Customers often ask why they can’t find anyone selling only capital ships such as the Idris-P, Kraken, or Javelin as standalone gifted items. The reason is tied to RSI’s gifting limits.


Why These Ships Can’t Be Gifted


Almost all capital ships, including the Idris-P, Kraken, and Javelin, are valued at over $1,000.

RSI accounts are subject to a daily gifting limit of $1,000. Because these ships exceed that limit:


  • They cannot be gifted under any circumstances

  • Transfers will fail even if attempted

  • CIG/RSI Support cannot override this restriction


This limit exists due to strict U.S. money-laundering regulations, and it is not something that can be bypassed.


“But the Ship Has a Gift Button”


Some capital ships may still show a Gift button in the RSI hangar. However, even if the button appears:


  • The transfer will not work

  • The gifting limit will still block the transaction


How Can I Obtain a Capital Ship Over $1,000?


If you want a capital ship that exceeds the gifting limit, the only practical option is to purchase a full Star Citizen account that already has the ship attributed to it.


Notes / Tips


Capital ships worth over $1,000 cannot be gifted due to RSI’s daily gifting cap. If you are looking to acquire ships like the Idris-P, Kraken, or Javelin, you would need to obtain an entire account that already owns the ship.
