What to know
The Aegis Eclipse is a mid-range stealth bomber designed for tactical torpedo strikes on installations or large ships. On the Eclipse, bombs or torpedoes give the ship a focused strike role against targets that justify scarce heavy ordnance.
Eclipse specifications
One deliberate attack shapes the Eclipse
With the three Size 9 torpedoes and stealth systems, the Eclipse is a dedicated strike craft rather than a general fighter. The rest of the ship helps the crew reach the release point and survive the return. The Eclipse's internal rack carries three Size 9 torpedoes. A compatible bomb rack can replace them with twenty Thunderball bombs, four Stormburst bombs, or one Colossus bomb. The wings can be adjusted to space or atmospheric flight to adapt to the environment.
The systems that bring the Eclipse to release
Bombs or torpedoes give the Eclipse a focused strike role against targets that justify scarce heavy ordnance.
Development note: The Eclipse is flight ready and entered the live game in Alpha 3.2.0. Because Star Citizen remains in active development, specifications, features, and imagery may change over time.
Weapons and support for the strike
Target identification and launch timing help the Eclipse deliver the three Size 9 torpedoes and stealth systems without wasting a limited strike load.
The wings can be adjusted to space or atmospheric flight to adapt to the environment. During Zero-G space flight, the Eclipse typically adopts the compact wing position to create a slightly smaller profile for harder detection.
The flying-wing hull, blended engines, and internal weapon bays reduce the Eclipse's profile until its torpedoes are ready to launch.
The route to the target should limit incoming fire before the main weapon is ready.
On the Eclipse, access, arming controls, and clear crew procedures keep the heavy ordnance secure until the attack is ready.
Firepower aboard the Eclipse
The Eclipse's internal rack carries three Size 9 torpedoes. A compatible bomb rack can replace them with twenty Thunderball bombs, four Stormburst bombs, or one Colossus bomb.
Eclipse's torpedoes and supporting weapons
Verify the target and friendly positions before the Eclipse uses the three Size 9 torpedoes and stealth systems.
Hold the Eclipse steady and use the three Size 9 torpedoes and stealth systems from the planned range.
The Eclipse attacks again only after the crew checks the target and available ordnance.
The Eclipse's guided-weapon sequence
The Eclipse makes the three Size 9 torpedoes and stealth systems count by choosing targets carefully instead of launching every weapon at the first lock.
-
Confirm the target before the Eclipse's strike
Aboard the Eclipse, heavy ordnance should begin with clear identification, friendly positions, and an agreed release condition.
-
Protect the Eclipse until weapon release
For the Eclipse, route, stealth, escorts, terrain, or defensive stations exist to get the weapon close enough to matter.
-
Use the three Size 9 torpedoes and stealth systems
The Eclipse's sensors, flight controls, and defenses help bring the three Size 9 torpedoes and stealth systems within range of a suitable target.
-
Inspect the Eclipse before another strike
On the Eclipse, after release, the crew needs damage information, defensive awareness, and a clear decision about another strike or return for rearm.
Eclipse's strike equipment in detail
The Eclipse pairs its three Size 9 torpedoes and stealth systems with target identification, a planned approach, release controls, and the defenses needed to leave after the attack.
For the Eclipse, target identification and tracking help the crew choose when and where to use the heavy ordnance.
Inside the Eclipse, the crew keeps the ordnance organized so the right weapon is ready for each target.
Defensive systems help the Eclipse survive the approach and the moments after using the heavy ordnance.
Aboard the Eclipse, reloading, inspection, and repairs prepare the ship and its weapons for another strike.
The Eclipse's pilot is focused on one decisive release
Target confirmation, approach, defense, and the three Size 9 torpedoes and stealth systems all support the moment when the heavy weapon leaves the ship.
The pilot protects the weapon until it can matter
The Eclipse should not spend its limited heavy ordnance on an uncertain target. The pilot has to bring the right weapon from the Eclipse's payload to the planned release point.
Aboard the Eclipse, the strike team shares one target record and one payload count from arming through assessment.
The Eclipse's operator selects from the three Size 9 torpedoes and stealth systems according to the target's size, defenses, and condition.
Defensive stations, route calls, and damage information help the Eclipse preserve any remaining weapons for another strike.
