The fight the Hammerhead is designed to take
These turrets are optimized for anti-fighter and anti-ordnance work and grant the ship an unusual ability to put up a hailstorm of firepower that swiftly removes smaller aerospace threats.
Built in an evolving universe
The Hammerhead is flight ready and entered the live game in Alpha 3.3.0. Because Star Citizen remains in active development, specifications, features, and imagery may change over time.
Combat package
How the Hammerhead creates and survives an opening

Find the angle, manage the risk
Four decisions that shape a fight in the Hammerhead
The Hammerhead gets the most from its the Hammerhead's complete combat loadout when positioning, weapon timing, and a safe exit are treated as the same tactical problem.
Spot
Set the Hammerhead's target before committing
For the Hammerhead, identify what matters most and keep the pilot or crew focused on it.
Position
Find the Hammerhead's best firing angle
Aboard the Hammerhead, use the ship's speed and handling to bring its weapons to bear without taking needless damage.
Fight
Keep the Hammerhead effective through the exchange
At this stage of the Hammerhead's mission, concentrate fire, watch ammunition and shields, and avoid chasing a bad opportunity.
Reset
Reset the Hammerhead before re-engaging
To complete the Hammerhead's mission, create distance, check damage, and decide whether to continue or return.
Tactical details
The details that shape a fight in the Hammerhead
A successful run depends on more than its Weapon/Utility racks. These systems shape how the Hammerhead approaches danger, handles pressure, and gets home again.
01A closer look at turn one target call into a clear attack on the Hammerhead
Aboard the Hammerhead, the crew needs the same target and the same timing. Clear calls let the weapons arrive together without pulling the ship away from a safer position.
02Preparing the Hammerhead after its return
Fuel, inspection, repairs, supplies, and access to the working systems determine how quickly the Hammerhead can return to heavy gunship work.
03Build the Hammerhead's first firing chance
The Hammerhead is strongest when its pilot or crew dictates range and position before committing weapons.
04Protect the Hammerhead when the advantage is gone
In this closer look at the Hammerhead, protection and ammunition are finite, so a safe exit remains part of every successful engagement.
Crew and operation
The decisions people make aboard the Hammerhead
The Hammerhead depends on clear responsibility for flying, sensors, weapons, engineering, and the decision to leave the fight.
People behind the systems
Command Weapons Survival
Running the Hammerhead with 8 people
Hammerhead is operated by a crew of 8 people. Assign flight, sensors, weapons, and engineering before contact so the crew can act quickly without losing the same tactical picture.
Make target priority clear aboard the Hammerhead
Everyone aboard the Hammerhead should understand the priority target, the threat picture, and the planned exit.
Organize the Hammerhead's firepower before the fight
Aboard the Hammerhead, turrets, missiles, engineering, and flight controls are most effective when responsibility is clear before contact.
Plan the Hammerhead's disengagement early
When operating the Hammerhead, damage control and a safe route out matter before the first weapon is fired, not only after the fight turns.
