⏱ 16 min video · 2 min read15 May 2026
TL;DR
BoredGamer takes a first-person walkthrough tour of the Aegis Tiburon Heavy Beam Gunship in Star Citizen's expo hall, covering its interior layout, crew requirements, weapons, and speculated price. The ship is not yet available for purchase and will go on sale on Aegis Day.
Key points
1
The Tiburon is based on the Hammerhead hull but redesigned for an anti-large and capital ship role, featuring a large fixed beam laser on top and four manned high-caliber turrets.
2
The ship appears designed for a crew of around 7-9: pilot, co-pilot, four turret operators, and one on the rear hammerhead-style turrets, plus an engineer is strongly recommended for combat.
3
Interior includes 8 crew bunks, captain's quarters, a kitchen/mess area, cargo bay (~64 SCU estimated), escape pods, armory, gravity generator, and multiple elevator access points.
4
The Tiburon is not a limited ship and will be available to buy with real money on Aegis Day, with in-game shop availability expected in roughly 2-4 months.
5
BoredGamer estimates the price will be around $800, compared to the Hammerhead's $725, though official pricing was not yet confirmed at time of filming.
Actionable insights
→
If you plan to crew the Tiburon effectively in combat, budget for a dedicated engineer role in addition to turret and pilot positions.
→
Do not rush to pledge on Aegis Day if you prefer to wait — the Tiburon is not a limited ship, so there is no scarcity pressure.
→
Watch the official Star Citizen trailer for the Tiburon to see the beam laser firing animation, which is not fully visible in the expo hall walkthrough.
Notable quotes
“It very much feels like its own hole. I mean, it is its own hole, but doesn't feel like it's based on the hammerhead right? cuz it's a lot. There's a lot changed.”
“This ship's going to require an engineer in my opinion if you want to do any form of combat.”
