The F7A Hornet's combat role
The F7A Hornet is a military medium fighter built around six guns and eight missiles. Two Size 4 wing guns provide the heaviest pilot-controlled fire, while Size 3 nose and top turrets add four more barrels to a compact, responsive combat airframe.
Built in an evolving universe
The F7A Hornet 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.

Reassess the F7A Hornet as damage changes its options
Aboard the F7A Hornet, damage, ammunition, shields, and control response tell the pilot whether the fighter can keep adapting or needs to return.
