In the video, La the West highlights the Void Bomber as a formidable heavy bomber in Star Citizen, known for its speed, firepower, and boarding capabilities, making it a significant threat in space combat. He recounts a historical attack by two Void Bombers on a civilian refueling station, showcasing their ability to deliver massive damage quickly while executing efficient raids, leaving pirate syndicates eager to replicate their lethality.
In the video, La the West discusses the Void Bomber, a ship that has captured his interest due to its evolution and formidable characteristics. The Void Bomber is described as a heavy bomber that combines speed, firepower, and boarding capabilities, making it a significant threat in space combat. La imagines a dramatic scenario where the ship drops out of quantum travel near a space station, catching the attention of an unsuspecting air traffic controller before unleashing its devastating firepower.
The Void Bomber measures 124 meters in length, 90 meters in width, and 33 meters in height, with an unspecified maximum crew size. Its armament includes three size six electron cannons, four size four tri-mounted torpedo clusters, and seven size four laser repeater turrets. Although the statistics are outdated, the ship was designed to launch missiles, torpedoes, and boarding crafts while maintaining agility to evade larger turret fire from space stations.
La recounts a historical encounter with the Void Bomber in 2945, where two of these ships successfully attacked a civilian refueling station in the Oberon system. Despite the station being armed, the bombers maneuvered past defenses and unleashed a barrage of missiles followed by boarding craft, leading to the swift takeover of the station and the death of all its occupants before a distress call could be responded to.
The primary purpose of the Void Bomber is to deliver massive damage in a short time frame while retaining maneuverability. It can launch small boarding ships, referred to as Cleavers or boarding spikes, which can carry Vandal warriors to infiltrate and capture enemy vessels. This capability allows the Void Bomber to execute raids efficiently, extracting supplies and escaping before any countermeasures can be enacted.
La concludes by noting that many pirate syndicates aspire to replicate the Vandal’s level of lethality and efficiency demonstrated by the Void Bomber. Despite numerous attempts to reverse-engineer the ship, it remains unmatched in its capabilities, leaving pirates to dream of harnessing its power for their own raids. The video highlights the Void Bomber’s role as a menacing force in the Star Citizen universe and its impact on space warfare.
