In this video, the host takes a detailed first look at the Aegis Tiburon, a new heavy beam gunship in Star Citizen showcased in the expo hall. Although the ship is not yet available for purchase, with sales expected on Aegis Day, the Tiburon is described as a distinct vessel inspired by the Hammerhead hull but designed for a different role. Unlike the Hammerhead, which focuses on fighter defense, the Tiburon is built for anti-large and capital ship combat, featuring a massive fixed laser on top, four high-caliber manned turrets, and additional rear turrets to cover potential blind spots. The ship is designed to accommodate a crew of around nine people, with various elevators, cargo areas, and engineering spaces inside.
Exploring the interior, the host notes the cargo hold, which appears similar to the Hammerhead’s 64 SCU capacity but expects the Tiburon to have a slightly larger cargo space and higher price point. The ship includes multiple elevators, an engineering terminal, crew quarters with eight bunks, showers, and bathrooms, as well as escape pods and well-labeled compartments. The captain’s quarters and armory are also highlighted, along with the underslung bridge that houses the pilot and co-pilot. The large turrets on the sides and rear are manned, emphasizing the ship’s combat-oriented design.
A notable feature discussed is the gravity generator, a small but functional addition similar to what was added to the Hammerhead. While the ship is primarily a warship, the interior amenities like the kitchen area and living quarters suggest it is designed for extended missions with a full crew. The host speculates on the crew requirements during combat, estimating that at least five to seven people would be necessary to operate the ship effectively, including pilots and gunners.
The exterior design of the Tiburon is praised for its imposing look, particularly the giant laser on top and the four large turrets positioned on the front and sides. While the ship shares some visual cues with the Hammerhead, it is considered unique enough to stand on its own. The host encourages viewers to share their thoughts on the ship and mentions that the Tiburon will be available in-game within two to four months, emphasizing that it is not a limited-time offer.
Towards the end, the video shifts to promoting the Toby Tracker 5, a head and eye tracking device that enhances the Star Citizen gaming experience by improving immersion and situational awareness. The host also announces a monthly ship giveaway for May, featuring two different ship packages, and encourages viewers to participate by commenting on videos. The video concludes with thanks to supporters and well wishes for upcoming Star Citizen events like Fleet Week and Drake Defense Con.
