What to know
The Spirit A1 is Crusader Industries' two-seat light bomber. For the Spirit A1, bombs or torpedoes give the ship a focused strike role against targets that justify scarce heavy ordnance.
Spirit A1 specifications
The strike system at the centre of the Spirit A1
The Spirit A1 is built to deliver the ten Size 5 bombs carried on two internal racks against targets large enough to justify a scarce heavy payload. The "Chaplet" bomb rig, derived from the larger "Daisy Chain", uses two racks which both contain five size 5 bombs with individual deployment capability to allow for the swift deployment of the entire payload. The ship has an access ramp and a compact bay, enabling it to transport a small vehicle that supports ground operations.
Support for the Spirit A1's heavy weapon
Bombs or torpedoes give the Spirit A1 a focused strike role against targets that justify scarce heavy ordnance.
Development note: The Spirit A1 is flight ready and entered the live game in Alpha 3.21.0. Because Star Citizen remains in active development, specifications, features, and imagery may change over time.
Weapons and support for the strike
The Spirit A1 carries the ten Size 5 bombs carried on two internal racks for deliberate attacks. Its sensors, weapon controls, and protection help the crew reach the target and use the limited ordnance carefully.

The ship has an access ramp and a compact bay, enabling it to transport a small vehicle that supports ground operations. It features internal storage compartments and racks for weapons and tools intended for crew use.
A careful approach gives the ship a better chance to use its primary weapon effectively.
On the Spirit A1, access, arming controls, and clear crew procedures keep the heavy ordnance secure until the attack is ready.
The A1's compact tactical bombing system
Two internal racks carry five Size 5 bombs each, giving the A1 ten weapons for attacks on ground positions from a much smaller airframe than the Hercules A2. Four Size 3 guns, a twin Size 2 remote turret, and four Size 3 missiles protect the approach and return.
Ten Size 5 bombs carried on two internal racks
The A1 can make more than one release, so the crew should match the number of bombs to the target instead of emptying both racks by default.
A controlled line and clear ground picture matter more than using the Spirit's agility for a last-second correction.
The supporting weapons help the A1 survive interception while the bomb load remains its defining offensive tool.
The Spirit A1's heavy-weapon strike
The Spirit A1 makes the ten Size 5 bombs carried on two internal racks count by choosing targets carefully instead of launching every weapon at the first lock.
-
Confirm the target before the Spirit A1's strike
For the Spirit A1, heavy ordnance should begin with clear identification, friendly positions, and an agreed release condition.
-
Protect the Spirit A1 until weapon release
On the Spirit A1, route, stealth, escorts, terrain, or defensive stations exist to get the weapon close enough to matter.
-
Use the ten Size 5 bombs carried on two internal racks
The Spirit A1 saves the ten Size 5 bombs carried on two internal racks for a target large or important enough to justify the limited ordnance.
-
Inspect the Spirit A1 before another strike

The Spirit A1's crew is focused on one decisive release
Target confirmation, approach, defense, and the ten Size 5 bombs carried on two internal racks all support the moment when the heavy weapon leaves the ship.
Bring the A1 safely to the bomb release point
The Spirit A1 should not spend its limited heavy ordnance on an uncertain target. The crew has to bring the right weapon from the Spirit A1's payload to the planned release point.
The Spirit A1's crew treats every remaining weapon as part of the next decision, not as an automatic second release.
The Spirit A1's operator checks the damage before deciding whether the ten Size 5 bombs carried on two internal racks should be used again.
Defensive stations, route calls, and damage information help the Spirit A1 preserve any remaining weapons for another strike.
