TL;DR
BoredGamer covers Aegis Dynamics Day at Star Citizen's DefenseCon event on 20 May 2026, focusing on the newly released Tiburon heavy gunship and limited-wave sales of the Idris and Javelin capital ships. The video walks through all Aegis ships currently on sale, their prices, and key gameplay roles.
Key points
1
The Aegis Tiburon is now flyable, priced at $700-$775, and features a bespoke size 10 laser beam plus four size 7 turrets, designed as an anti-capital/anti-large ship brawler evolved from the Hammerhead hull
2
Idris P (carrier frigate, ~$1,800) and Javelin (destroyer, $3,000) are on limited sale in six waves every 4 hours starting 4 p.m. UTC on 20 May, with the next waves at 8 p.m., midnight, 4 a.m., 8 a.m., and midday on 21 May 2026
3
The Javelin is not yet flyable by players and is expected to release after Squadron 42; the Idris P is flyable and comes with access to Idris weapon kits
4
Full Aegis lineup on sale includes Avenger Stalker ($60), Gladius ($90), Sabre ($175), Eclipse ($300), Redeemer ($330), Retaliator, Hammerhead ($725), Nautilus ($725), Reclaimer ($400), Vanguards, and the Vulcan (concept, $200)
5
Ships sold at DefenseCon typically become obtainable in-game two to four months after becoming flyable; the Tiburon is flyable as of today
Actionable insights
→
If you want an Idris P or Javelin, the first wave likely sold out immediately but five more waves remain on 20-21 May 2026 - set alarms for 8 p.m., midnight, 4 a.m., 8 a.m., and midday UTC
→
The Tiburon at $700-$775 is positioned as a sub-capital anti-capital killer; BoredGamer expects it to be as popular as the Perseus and sell in large numbers over capital ships
→
The Vulcan (concept, $200) offers mobile repair/rearm/refuel drone support without needing to land, making it a strong fleet-support investment if that gameplay loop appeals to you
Notable quotes
“I think a lot of people are going to be buying these over capital ships because of the nature of the ship, which is an anti-capital, anti-large ship brawler.”
“When you have loads of these then capital ships are actually genuinely under threat from sub-capitals.”
“One of the things that is terrifying about those Avengers is that you are not really sure which one you might be in combat with, and it could be a Warlock.”
