The video showcases the Aegis Tiburon, a Corvette-sized ship in Star Citizen designed for hunting large ships, featuring a powerful pilot-controlled size 10 laser and remote-controlled ballistic turrets, delivering an effective and immersive combat experience.

The video showcases the Aegis Tiburon, a new Corvette-sized ship in Star Citizen released alongside Defense Con, designed primarily for hunting large ships. The host travels to New Babbage Spaceport to learn more about the Tiburon, where Cyrus explains that the ship has fewer manned turrets compared to the Hammerhead, with most side turrets now being remote-controlled size seven ballistic cannons. The Tiburon’s standout feature is a massive size 10 laser running along the top of the ship, which is pilot-controlled, making it a formidable weapon against large targets.
Upon arriving at Crusader, where missions are most reliable in the current patch, the crew prepares to test the Tiburon in combat. The host explores the ship’s interior, noting differences from the Hammerhead, such as the addition of an armory near the front, updated captain’s quarters, improved crew dorms, and a familiar engine room layout. The ship lacks a docking port and relies on hangar access, which adds a unique aspect to its operation. The host appreciates the immersive engine sounds and overall design improvements.
The mission involves taking on a Polaris and its supporting ships in an asteroid base combat scenario. The Tiburon’s large laser proves highly effective, dealing significant damage while the ballistic turrets eliminate enemy turrets and smaller ships. Despite a minor issue with the front port turret and the ship’s sluggish maneuverability, the crew successfully disables the Polaris by targeting its turrets, engines, and power plant. The fight is described as comfortable and enjoyable, highlighting the ship’s strength in dealing with large, tough enemies.
After the mission, the team assesses the costs of restocking ammunition, repairs, and fuel, noting hydrogen fuel as the most expensive resource. The host also explores the co-pilot’s role, which potentially includes missile control, and appreciates the ability to pilot the ship from either seat. Overall, the Tiburon impresses with its firepower, especially the pilot-controlled size 10 laser, making it a desirable addition for players interested in heavy combat roles.
In conclusion, the host expresses a positive impression of the Tiburon, praising its unique capabilities and comfortable combat experience. The ship fills a niche in Star Citizen’s lineup by offering a powerful, crew-oriented Corvette with a focus on big-ship hunting. The video ends with thanks to viewers and patrons, particularly welcoming back a returning supporter, and promises more Star Citizen content soon.
