Star Citizen's Sabre Firebird a fantastic looking ship and fairly niche. This ship is fast really fast and it is of my opinion, that like a fine wine this ship will age really well as Star Citizen matures. BUT what do you guys think? As always let me know down below!!

A sleek design ghost ship that can send a barrage of missiles at your adversary and fast enough to get out of there before your enemy knows what hit them. What's not to like about this ship? Great video by the way.

Used it in Xenothreat. Even did some dogfights with the NPC ships there. But changed it with Laserguns, so you don't run out of ammo. Really nice ship.

Having a domestically designed competitor to the Tevarin Talon Shrike seems natural. A stealth strike fighter for hit & run missions where an Eclipse would be too much. So we have those missions in game yet - no, but they will be. Good video!

I look at my Firebird like the Rogue class of MMORPG's. Stealthy and packs a crazy backstab.. but a can't fight face to face. Love blowing things up with 6 missiles before they even detected me.

I was doing great in xenothreat with this ship. The stock guns didn't do so well, but the missles were great against the light to mid-size fighters. Zero regrets.

I feel it is a small ship bomber like how the eclipse is the big ship bomber. Both great ships in my opinion. Both specific uses. Thank you for the video.

I do love this ship. It does encapsulate the spirit of the Raven (quite literally). You can even see it in its shadow and MFD.

I love the idea of this as a ground attacker. Component placement at the top is smart for making ground strikes to add a little more protection. Hide your ground based air defenses or kiss them goodbye because this is Star Citizens ultimate "wild weasel" attack ship. 🚀
Ultimately will work best as soon as your buddies can marke targets for you to lock from beyond scanner range, otherwise detecting a ground vehicle solo puts you well within detection and inside the minimum launch range. Some day

Top drawer review as expected. I love this ship and it does well in dog fighting if you can stay close which MM’s helps with these days. I’m probably not in the minority when I say I put Strife Mass Drivers on this thing and snipe from 5km away while keeping out of detection range. Hilarious as you follow up with a volley of missiles and no one knows where you are 😜 I do think the new design of Sabres makes the Sabre fighter look clunky and last gen. I think this is the MOST stealthy or one of the most stealthy ships in the game currently isn’t it?
@dominicduwert11316 ай бұрын
I use the Firebird daily and can say it is an extremely powerful PvP fighter. It is possible to kill 3-4 light to medium targets and it is a decent scout ship too, because its very difficult to detect. Usually i deactivate my Shields/Weapons and are nearly invisible.

If you put some nice size three cannons on this thing it's actually fairly decent against the light fighter because it's so maneuverable. I have yet to have a fighter be able to get nose on me in this thing if I'm pushing it.

as snub for polaris, then first this ship fires at target and then polaris its torps, if the missiles are shot down first hopefully no time to shoot polaris torps. additionally its a great scanner for polaris, fly ahead see whats up nobody see you cause stealth tell polaris.

Current missile meta Attacker: EASY LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! or so they say Size 1-5 missiles/torpedoes 1) You must have a head on approach for best angle and firing solution (EASY) (you know the unicorn of circumstances yea easy lol !) 2) Lock (Easy)(it is easy doesn't need to be if other things were better) 3) Fire as many a possible .....hoping one hits (yea >.> 50 doesn't matter .........if 3 hit doing 2 % dam lol )(EASY) 4) If in a weaker missile boat with low def and guns...... You now run (a missile boat needs to kill with missiles)(EASY) rofl! EASY get my ass handed to me by a snub lol in a big scary missile boat lol ...sigh 5) If you get away and they aren't dead or haven't run away ......try another pass (You die if its a good pilot. >.> you have nothing to fight back with lol.) You're out gunned ... by ...well everything lol)) (EASY) 6) Rinse and repeat (You hope lol)(EaSY) Fact is >.> ......it's easy to be ineffective........... under the current balance. Size 9 (DOA)LMAO "did you hear a fly"? They have very little point now and will just get worse but might become stealth? according to CIG?..............? HUH The thing that needs to be answered......... here ....... 1) what good is a retaliator to a single pilot. ( will that missile ever hit) 2) Why own a missile boat of any kind? let alone a tali 3) Are missile boats pretty paper weights lol Are all missile boats just a cash grab? or paper weight? kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJSWdKNujJyErNksi=4tSdQHjvtU0nSoaN Defender: I hope my sarcasm is obvious to this point ...you cant have ships like the firebird if player can just make them useless with H key lol There needs to be more skill involved in counter measures for sure lol !!!!!..being able to just hit H once and not even change your vector is ...well ridiculous (skilled mathematical geniuses) they know all the vectors and bank at the perfect time just like in the movies lol .........and they do it all with one finger lol) 1) Press H on your keyboard (very difficult) No more steps............................................................................ Honesty that's all you have to do............... you don't have to bank or boost........... nothing. Just H It doesn't matter if the fire 50 or 1 Just press H once works for me every time and I have 100shours of footage to prove it I want it to be fun to evade lol like this!!!!!!! Top Gun: Maverick (2022) So instead of saying what I think it should be...I'm asking ........what do you think ...should it be this easy run away (aka H button of wonder) ........should it be hard to lock ?.
