What to know
The RSI Aurora LN is a combat variant of the Aurora MK I series lineup developed with assistance from Anvil Aerospace. For the Aurora LN, fast handling and pilot-controlled weapons make the ship effective against small, agile targets, while limited protection rewards...
Aurora LN specifications
The targets the Aurora LN is designed to face
The Aurora LN is a quick, lightly protected fighter built around the gun battery and a flexible missile hardpoint. Its pilot wins through response and movement rather than trying to absorb damage. Four Size 2 gun hardpoints give the Aurora LN a stronger direct-fire fit, while its missile mount can carry four Size 1 missiles or one Size 4 missile. The flexible rack can carry four Size 1 missiles or one Size 4 missile, giving the Aurora LN unusually broad ordnance choices for its size.
Combat systems aboard the Aurora LN
The Aurora LN puts responsive handling and pilot-controlled weapons into a light fighter built for close dogfights.
Development note: The Aurora LN is flight ready and entered the live game in Patch V1.0.0. Because Star Citizen remains in active development, specifications, features, and imagery may change over time.
Aurora LN combat systems
The four forward hardpoints and a missile hardpoint make the Aurora LN the combat-focused Aurora. The missile mount can carry four Size 1 missiles or one Size 4 missile.
The flexible rack can carry four Size 1 missiles or one Size 4 missile, giving the Aurora LN unusually broad ordnance choices for its size.
The Aurora LN's Energia IV engine is tuned for efficient fuel use, helping the pilot preserve range between stops.
One pilot controls flight and weapons while monitoring targets and ship condition from the cockpit.
Power and cooling limits decide which systems can run at full strength at the same time.
Firepower aboard the Aurora LN
Four Size 2 gun hardpoints give the Aurora LN a stronger direct-fire fit, while its missile mount can carry four Size 1 missiles or one Size 4 missile.
Four Size 2 gun mounts and a flexible missile hardpoint
The pilot uses the four Size 2 gun mounts and a flexible missile hardpoint against targets the Aurora LN can outmaneuver.
A light frame survives by changing the target's aim while the four Size 2 gun mounts and a flexible missile hardpoint remains ready for a clear chance to fire.
The Aurora LN can lose its advantage quickly if the pilot misses damage, low ammunition, or a second attacker.
Using agility to create firing opportunities
The Aurora LN's gun battery and flexible missile hardpoint work best against targets that do not overwhelm the fighter's handling or protection.
-
Track the target from the Aurora LN's cockpit
The Aurora LN gives up heavy protection for response and a small profile, so its best targets are other agile craft.
-
Change direction before the target settles its aim
Movement protects the Aurora LN more reliably than asking its light shields to absorb a long exchange.
-
Commit the weapons when the target is clear
The Aurora LN gets the most from the four forward hardpoints and a flexible missile hardpoint by staying close enough to hit without giving the target a simple shot back.
-
Use separation to review shields and ammunition
The Aurora LN's pilot uses the space after an attack to check damage, ammunition, and any new threat before turning back.
How the Aurora LN is set up to fight
The Aurora LN combines its four Size 2 gun mounts and a flexible missile hardpoint with the handling, protection, and targeting systems needed for its combat role.
Aboard the Aurora LN, responsive handling helps the pilot keep the guns and missiles on target through tight turns.
Inside the Aurora LN, sensors and weapon controls help the pilot identify a suitable target and keep the guns and missiles aimed at it.
The Aurora LN's shields and armor help the pilot survive return fire during a close attack.
A complete turnaround restores the Aurora LN's ammunition and missiles while catching damage before the next launch.
One pilot balances the Aurora LN's speed, weapons, and limited protection
Aboard the Aurora LN, one pilot uses quick control response to put the direct-fire weapons and a flexible missile hardpoint on small, agile targets without relying on armor to absorb the return fire.
Flying and fighting in the Aurora LN
One pilot can react immediately in the Aurora LN, but there is no second seat to watch damage or another target. A simple attack plan leaves more attention for survival.
Target choice should let the Aurora LN use rapid handling and the gun battery and a flexible missile hardpoint instead of asking its light hull to survive a prolonged exchange.
The Aurora LN's pilot controls the four forward hardpoints and a flexible missile hardpoint while watching shields, ammunition, and threats outside the gunsight.
Damage and countermeasure state tell the Aurora LN's pilot whether the fighter is still ready for another task.
