The video showcases the Aegis Sabre Peregrine, a new racing ship in Star Citizen 3.24, highlighting its sleek design and impressive speed while noting its lack of conventional weapons, having only a single torpedo.

In the video, the presenter introduces the Aegis Sabre Peregrine, a newly released racing ship in Star Citizen 3.24. He notes that the name “Peregrine” refers to a powerful falcon, emphasizing the ship’s racing capabilities. The ship’s design is visually appealing, resembling a bird, but the presenter is surprised to find that it lacks conventional weapons, featuring only a single torpedo. This absence of armaments sets it apart from other racing ships in the game, which typically have at least some weapons for defense.
The presenter goes on to explore the ship’s specifications, noting that it is equipped with two size one coolers, a size one power plant, a size one Quantum Drive, and two size one shield generators. He expresses disappointment at the lack of weaponry, comparing it unfavorably to other racing ships like the Mustang Gamma and the Razor, which come with weapons. Despite the lack of armaments, he appreciates the aesthetic options available for the Peregrine, showcasing various skins that can be applied to the ship, including new designs like Fire Break, Harvest, and Starlight.
As he examines the interior of the ship, the presenter highlights its storage capabilities, which are essential due to the removal of local storage in the game. He notes the absence of a weapons rack, further emphasizing the ship’s focus on racing rather than combat. The presenter then demonstrates the ability to physically upgrade the ship’s components using a freight elevator, showcasing the fun and interactive aspect of managing ship components in Star Citizen.
The presenter also analyzes the ship’s performance metrics, revealing that the Peregrine is not stealthy, having a higher signature compared to other ships like the Firebird. However, he emphasizes its impressive speed and maneuverability, noting its SCM speed of 267 m/s and boost speed of 654 m/s. While the Peregrine is one of the fastest ships in the game, it falls short in weaponry compared to its competitors, which possess both speed and armaments.
Finally, the presenter takes the Peregrine for a flight, expressing excitement about its performance and handling. He acknowledges that the ship is primarily designed for racing and exploration rather than combat, making it a unique addition to the game. Despite its limitations, the Peregrine’s sleek design and speed offer a thrilling experience for players who enjoy racing mechanics within the Star Citizen universe.
