The second ship unveiled during CitizenCon 2951 earlier today was the Liberator from Star Citizen’s in-universe ship manufacturer – Anvil Aerospace. The pricier of the two ships announced, the base model coming in at $632.50 USD standalone or $550.00 USD with Warbond – this craft is all about getting ships and cargo from Point A to a far off Point B in (hopefully) one piece. Below are some of the features that Cloud Imperium Games has highlighted about the craft:
LANDING PADS
The Liberator easily accommodates three ships on its open-air landing pads, from light and medium fighters to mining and freight craft. The distinct double-deck configuration makes exceptional use of a relatively compact space, rendering take-offs and landings effortless. Fighters can therefore launch and help repel any attackers, should the Liberator come under assault during its journey. The interior bay is further capable of housing two ground vehicles, such as tanks and mining vehicles.
LONG RANGE
Equipped with a massive Size 3 quantum drive, the Liberator is built specifically for extreme-range deployment. Its ability to expeditiously transport smaller, short-range ships and vehicles to objectives between star systems makes it an invaluable asset for all manner of industrial, commercial, or combat operations.
CARGO CAPACITY
A dedicated cargo hold sporting a generous 400 SCU capacity means you can haul traditional freight and tote supplies without sacrificing any vehicle space. This versatility makes the Liberator a favorite of UWC contractors, mining operators of every scale, and pilots and orgs looking to multi-task.
WEAPONRY
Should the Liberator be placed in jeopardy, it is capable of defending itself without needing to scramble any fighters on deck. A manually operated turret sporting potent Size 5 laser repeaters, along with dual automated point defense turrets and four bespoke missile launchers, keep the Liberator and its passengers well protected.
Coming in at 122m in length, 68m in with and 24m in height, the Anvil Liberator is in the mid to large size of ships. But most impressively for a ship of its size, is that it can function fully with a crew of just 2 people. That said, expect many more people to be on the ship if you have upwards of five crafts with you.
