⏱ 10 min video · 2 min read8 May 2026
TL;DR
BoredGamer breaks down the Star Citizen DefenseCon/Fleet Week ship reveals, focusing on the Aegis Tiburon beam corvette, Origin M80 heavy fighter, Drake Pit Bull snub fighter, and the Ironclad Assault pocket carrier. The video highlights why these ships are more capable than initially expected, especially the Ironclad Assault's new hangar services feature.
Key points
1
Aegis Tiburon is a dedicated anti-large/capital ship beam corvette with a giant fixed forward beam weapon, four large remote turrets on side platforms, and a rear manned turret (likely 4x size 4) — estimated $750-$900
2
Origin M80 heavy fighter has 2x size 4 and 2x hidden size 5 weapons plus bespoke size 1 missiles, with a sleek Origin aesthetic and likely basic interior — estimated $250-$300
3
Drake Pit Bull is a tiny snub fighter with 2x size 2 and 4x size 1 weapons plus six size 1 Marksman missiles — almost certainly no quantum drive, estimated $50-$70
4
Ironclad Assault can carry 8 Pit Bulls and gains the 4.8 Hangar Services feature (rearm, repair, refuel onboard ships), making it a true pocket carrier/mothership — available Drake Day on 14 May
5
All Fleet Week ships can be tested for free in-game, and all can eventually be obtained in-game without real money spending
Key updates
→
Test all Fleet Week ships for free during the event before spending real money — CIG allows free fly access during Fleet Week
→
The Ironclad Assault is now the stronger buy over the base Ironclad due to Hangar Services in patch 4.8, which enables full rearm/repair/refuel for onboard ships and vehicles

Notable quotes
“I want a kennel mod — I say mod, a module — for the Caterpillar so I can have a couple of Pit Bulls in each section of it.”
“For me, that is absolutely huge because it makes some ships actual pocket carriers, proper pocket carriers. They are mother ships.”
“I have gone so much more into the Ironclad Assault camp now just because of all the cool features and extras that it has.”
