⏱ 17 min video · 2 min read18 Jun 2026Worth watching
TL;DR
BoredGamer tours the two new Gatac alien ships in Star Citizen: the Railen medium cargo hauler and the Tyilui carrier variant. The video walks through each ship's layout, armaments, cargo capacity, and unique design quirks, with pricing and a June 2026 giveaway announcement.
Key points
1
The Gatac Railen is a 4-crew medium alien cargo hauler with four size-4 pilot weapons, two manned turrets each with two size-4 guns, two wing-mounted tractor beams, and 640 SCU of exterior cargo capacity across 32 SCU containers. It costs $360-$400.
2
The Gatac Tyilui is the carrier variant: it replaces most cargo capacity with a 4-snub hangar bay (Furies or Pitbulls), dropping cargo to 96 SCU, adds remote turrets on rear top and bottom, and has only a single internal tractor beam. It costs $385-$425.
3
Both ships share the same 3-deck vertical layout with component access on the bridge, crew quarters on the mid deck, and an entrance deck with suit/armory lockers and a gravity-lev elevator.
4
The Railen features a deployable triangular armored cargo shield to protect exterior cargo, and rear bridge seats dedicated to remote tractor beam operation.
5
The Tyilui carrier bay uses gravity-walk wall traversal (similar to the original Prey game) so crew can walk on the interior walls to access the four individual ship pads, with an air shield keeping the crew area pressurized.
Key takeaways
→
Alien tax applies: both ships carry a price premium ($360-$425) over comparable human-faction ships, so buyers should weigh aesthetics and unique mechanics against cost.
→
The Tyilui carrier may fit a Pisces (including medical variants) alongside Furies/Pitbulls, potentially making it a flexible support/carrier hybrid - but this is unconfirmed and noted as speculation.
→
A June 2026 giveaway is running: comment on any BoredGamer video published during June 2026 for one entry per video; the winner gets a Gatac Railen with lifetime insurance and a Star Citizen game package, announced in the July update video.
