Turn the Retaliator's crew stations into one sustained battery
Reduced from military-spec and refitted for civilian needs, the Retaliator is a large modular gunship developed by Aegis Dynamics. During work with the Retaliator, pilot, turret, sensor, and engineering roles combine to keep several weapons working through a longer fight.

The targets the Retaliator is designed to face
The Retaliator combines the two configurable bays inside a long-range multi-crew gunship with the speed, protection, and control needed to bring the package onto its intended target. The Retaliator has a very demanding crew allotment with stations and habitation for a pilot, five gunners, and an engineer. Ships of similar size and capability will rarely exceed four crew members, with only larger ships equalling the Retaliator's operational crew count.
Built in an evolving universe
The Retaliator is flight ready and entered the live game in Alpha 3.23.1. Because Star Citizen remains in active development, specifications, features, and imagery may change over time.
Combat package
What the Retaliator brings to its intended fight
The Retaliator combines the two configurable bays inside a long-range multi-crew gunship with the handling, protection, sensors, and weapon control needed for its intended targets.
01
Crew demand
The Retaliator has a very demanding crew allotment with stations and habitation for a pilot, five gunners, and an engineer. Ships of similar size and capability will rarely exceed four crew members, with only larger ships equalling the Retaliator's operational crew count.
02
Retaliator's secondary armament
Five manned turrets each carry two Size 3 guns: three cover the upper hull and two protect the lower hemisphere.
03
How the Retaliator changes configuration
The Retaliator has the option to swap out two central areas of the ship with various different modular rooms. These can fundamentally alter the function and role of the ship.
04
Pilot view and controls
The Retaliator's cockpit keeps flight, targeting, and weapon status readable while one pilot manages a fast-changing contact.
05
Retaliator's power and heat
Power allocation and cooling determine how long the Retaliator can keep its sensors, shields, and weapons working at the same intensity.
Defining feature
A modular Retaliator protected by five manned turrets
The base Retaliator is built around two interchangeable module bays rather than one permanent payload. Five manned turrets provide overlapping protection while the owner configures the central spaces for cargo, habitation, torpedoes, or another supported role.

MannedTurret control
The Retaliator is most coherent when its forward and rear bays support the same operation instead of creating two unrelated jobs for the crew.
The turret network covers the ship while the payload, range, and slower handling keep it committed to the crew's plan.
A modular bay changes what the ship can carry, but a prepared crew determines whether that role remains usable through the mission.
Assign, track, concentrate, sustain
The Retaliator's route through a complete engagement
The Retaliator turns several crew stations into one battery by assigning sectors, calling targets clearly, and concentrating the two configurable bays inside a long-range multi-crew gunship at the right moment.
Assign
Give every weapon station a clear responsibility
Turret sectors and target priorities prevent the Retaliator's crew from wasting several guns on the wrong threat.
Track
Keep the pilot and gunners on the same contact
For the Retaliator, flight control has to hold useful coverage while sensor calls keep every gunner aware of threats outside the current target.
Fire
Use the two configurable bays inside a long-range multi-crew gunship where it changes the fight
During work with the Retaliator, weapon grouping and target priority help one pilot manage the two configurable bays inside a long-range multi-crew gunship without losing awareness of the wider fight.
Sustain
Keep engineering in the combat loop
Power, cooling, ammunition, shield condition, and damaged components decide how long the Retaliator can keep its full battery active.
Tactical details
The Retaliator, from weapon mounts to flight controls
The Retaliator pairs its two configurable bays inside a long-range multi-crew gunship with the handling, protection, and control needed for the targets it was designed to face.
01Shielding
Shielding helps keep the Retaliator and its occupants working when avoiding trouble is no longer possible.
02Cargo handling
The Retaliator's cargo handling supports the cargo or equipment needed for its modular gunship work.
03Longer range
The Retaliator carries the fuel margin needed to spend more time between established ports.
04Retaliator combat handling
The Retaliator's movement and control response determine how reliably it can bring the two configurable bays inside a long-range multi-crew gunship onto its intended target.
Crew and operation
The Retaliator's firepower grows from crew coordination
The pilot controls the firing geometry while turret crews, sensors, and engineering keep the two configurable bays inside a long-range multi-crew gunship active against the same threat.
People behind the systems
Pilot Gunners Engineering
Several weapon stations have to behave like one battery in the Retaliator
A gunship earns its place by sustaining useful fire. The Retaliator's crew must share target priorities, turret coverage, damage information, and power needs instead of running independent fights.
Fly to keep the gun stations covered
During work with the Retaliator, pilot, turret, sensor, and engineering roles combine to keep several weapons working through a longer fight.
Divide arcs and concentrate fire when needed
In the Retaliator's workflow, weapon grouping and target priority help one pilot manage the two configurable bays inside a long-range multi-crew gunship without losing awareness of the wider fight.
Keep the battery powered and protected
Power, cooling, shields, ammunition, and repairs decide how long the Retaliator can maintain pressure.
