The Kruger Intergalactic L21 Wolf is Star Citizen’s latest single-seater light fighter, introduced in alpha 4.3.0 on the PTU and soon available in-game. It is a highly agile and nimble ship designed for dogfighting, equipped with two powerful size four retractable ballistic gatling guns and eight size one missiles. The ship is lightweight, with all size one components except for two size one shield generators and coolers, providing modest defense. Measuring 21.5 meters long, 10.5 meters wide, and 4.2 meters high, it is well-suited for close-quarters combat and excels in Arena Commander modes like Vandal Swarm and Pirate Swarm due to its accuracy and damage output.
Priced between $90 and $100, the L21 Wolf is considered reasonably affordable compared to other Star Citizen ships. Its design echoes a retro luxury aesthetic inspired by 1950s concept vehicles, blending smooth, sleek lines with aggressive combat features. Kruger Intergalactic, known for precision manufacturing and custom parts, has developed this as their first fully independent spaceship, emphasizing elegance and quality. The ship features a unique cockpit placement for enhanced pilot visibility and a combat-focused layout, though some players find the prominent fin on the underside somewhat impractical.
The ship’s playstyle centers on fast-paced dogfighting, leveraging speed, maneuverability, and sharp acceleration to outmaneuver and destroy other light fighters. It is less resilient than some competitors like the Gladius, with a higher emission profile and a fragile hull that requires pilots to rely on shields and evasive tactics. The L21 Wolf is best deployed from a mothership or base where it can be quickly rearmed, as its ballistic weapons consume ammo that must be replenished. While not suited for brawling or sustained engagements against larger ships, it is deadly in skilled hands for hit-and-run tactics.
Additional features include external storage for FPS weapons, a bespoke UI planned for future updates, and manual control over weapon deployment animations. The fin is currently tied to the landing gear state and does not affect aerodynamics, though future updates may allow manual toggling and aerodynamic impact. There are no current plans for a racing variant of the Wolf, but the developers have expressed interest in such a possibility. Overall, the ship is praised for its handling and firepower, making it a strong contender in the light fighter category alongside ships like the Arrow.
