FAQ — Questions fréquentes
Combien de temps prend généralement la livraison ?
Les commandes de Ships, CCU, Paints et Items Star Citizen sont généralement livrées sous 20 à 30 minutes.
Dans de rares cas, la livraison peut prendre jusqu’à 12 heures en raison du volume de commandes, des limites de gifting RSI, du statut du compte ou d’une vérification manuelle nécessaire.
Dans la plupart des cas, nous ne laissons pas les livraisons de Ships dépasser 12 heures, sauf en cas de problème exceptionnel, comme une limitation du système RSI, une restriction de compte ou une vérification client requise.
Ma commande de Ship est-elle protégée ?
Oui. La sécurité et la fiabilité sont nos priorités absolues.
Tous les Ships vendus par LTI Hangar viennent de notre propre stock. Aucun vendeur externe ni fournisseur tiers inconnu n’intervient dans la commande.
Chaque commande de Ship est traitée avec un suivi clair de la livraison, afin que le processus puisse être vérifié et retracé si notre support doit intervenir.

Grâce à notre propre stock, à une livraison traçable et à notre protection après-vente, l’achat est plus sûr que sur de nombreuses marketplaces tierces. C’est l’une des raisons pour lesquelles de nombreux joueurs choisissent LTI Hangar pour acheter leurs Ships Star Citizen.
Qu’est-ce que la protection après-vente de 6 mois ?Pourquoi les autres marketplaces ne peuvent-elles pas proposer cela ?
Dans le cas extrêmement rare où un problème survient avec un item pendant la livraison, ou jusqu’à 6 mois après la livraison, nous mènerons une vérification.
Si le problème est confirmé comme étant de notre responsabilité, nous vous proposerons soit un remplacement, soit un remboursement.
Pour nous aider à examiner le cas avec précision, il pourra vous être demandé de nous fournir des preuves pertinentes, comme des screenshots de votre RSI Hangar, les détails de commande ou les logs du RSI Hangar.
Le RSI Hangar Log permet de suivre l’état et l’historique de chaque Ship, notamment si l’item a été claim, échangé, melt, transféré ou modifié d’une autre manière après la livraison.
Nous examinerons les preuves fournies afin de déterminer la cause du problème.

Puis-je demander un remboursement après avoir claim le Ship, CCU, Paint ou Item ?
Une fois le RSI Gift claim, le Ship, CCU, Paint ou Item est lié au compte RSI qui l’a reçu.
En raison des limites du système de gifting de Star Citizen, un item déjà claim ne peut normalement pas être gift à nouveau, retourné, annulé ou relivré. Pour cette raison, les items déjà claim ne sont généralement pas éligibles à une annulation ou à un remboursement.
Une correction, un remplacement ou un remboursement ne peut être proposé que si nous confirmons que le problème vient de notre côté, par exemple si un mauvais item a été envoyé, s’il y a eu une erreur de livraison de commande, ou un autre problème de livraison vérifié causé par nous.

Veuillez nous contacter avec votre numéro de commande, l’e-mail utilisé lors du paiement, ainsi que des screenshots clairs de votre RSI Hangar.
Pourquoi les noms des Ships Star Citizen que j’ai reçus sont-ils différents ?
Un Standalone CCU’ed est un vaisseau ou un véhicule complet. Ce n’est pas une amélioration à appliquer !

Veuillez également noter que, dans l’e-mail cadeau, seul le vaisseau utilisé comme base de l’upgrade sera indiqué. Pas d’inquiétude : le vaisseau qui apparaîtra réellement dans votre hangar sera bien celui que vous avez commandé.

Aegis Sabre Firebird Standalone Ship Gameplay Guide
The Aegis Sabre Firebird is a Flight Ready single-seat missile-strike Sabre variant built for Star Citizen players who want fast approach speed, focused missile pressure, Aegis styling, and a more strike-oriented experience than the standard Sabre. It is not a cargo ship, daily utility ship, EMP ship, racing ship, or traditional sustained gunfighter. The Firebird is best understood as the missile Sabre: a fast Sabre-family fighter that trades the standard Sabre’s broader gunfighter feel for a more timing-based hit-and-run role.
Official RSI material presents the Firebird as a Sabre variant built around speed and ballistic firepower, with bespoke thrusters, pilot-controlled guns, and a dedicated missile package. Current live-reference data lists the Sabre Firebird as Flight Ready, single-seat, 0 SCU, 26m length, 30m width, and a current 4.8.2 loadout showing 24× Size 3 Thunderbolt III missiles with 2× Size 3 Mantis GT-220 Gatling guns.
The safe product-page positioning is simple:
The Sabre Firebird is the Sabre you choose when you want missile burst and speed — not when you want cargo, EMP, racing, or a normal stealth-gunfighter Sabre.
Build Your Aegis Strike Fighter Fleet with the Sabre Firebird
The Sabre Firebird is a good choice for players who like the Sabre chassis but want a more focused missile-strike role. It fits Aegis collectors, Sabre-series fans, solo pilots, and players who enjoy short attack windows instead of long brawls. If you are looking to acquire this Aegis missile fighter, you can explore our available options in the Star Citizen Ships and Vehicles Collection.
Sabre Firebird Key Specifications
| Specification | Aegis Sabre Firebird | Gameplay Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Manufacturer | Aegis Dynamics | Human military manufacturer with clear fighter identity. |
| Series | Sabre | Uses the Sabre chassis, but changes the role toward missile strike. |
| Role | Missile-Strike Sabre Variant | Fast single-seat Sabre variant built around missile pressure and attack windows, not sustained gunfighting or daily utility. |
| Status | Flight Ready | Current reference data lists it as Flight Ready, with Flight Ready history from Alpha 3.23.1. |
| Crew | 1 | Pure solo ship; no gunner or co-pilot. |
| Cargo | 0 SCU | No hauling, trading, or daily cargo role. |
| Dimensions | 26m length / 30m width / 3.8m body height reference | Compact Sabre-family fighter footprint. |
| Current Speed Reference | 240 m/s SCM / 1,400 m/s max | Fast hit-and-run profile; live tuning can change by patch. |
| Current Guns | 2× S3 ballistic Gatling guns | Useful follow-up weapons, but not enough to make the Firebird a standard gunfighter Sabre. |
| Current Missile Package | Large S3 missile package, current live-reference value | Main reason to buy the Firebird, but missile count, rack behavior, lock performance, and countermeasure balance can change by patch. |
| Storage | Personal stowage and weapon rack | Useful for pilot equipment, not cargo gameplay. |
| Core Gameplay | Missile strike, hit-and-run attack windows, fast approach, fast exit | Best for pilots who want missile burst and timing-based combat, not extended brawling. |
Note: RSI’s original launch / Q&A material described the Firebird around a bespoke missile rack with 12× Size 3 capacity, while current live-reference data shows 24× Size 3 missiles. Treat exact missile count, balance, rack behavior, and missile performance as patch-sensitive and always check the current listing or live build before publishing final specs.
What Makes the Sabre Firebird Valuable?
The Firebird is valuable because it gives the Sabre family a different combat role. The standard Sabre is the classic stealth fighter. The Sabre Comet is the special Masters of Flight version. The Sabre Raven has rare EMP / intelligence identity. The Sabre Peregrine is the racing Sabre. The Firebird is the missile-pressure Sabre.
Current reference material describes the Firebird as a high-velocity combat aircraft designed for rapid missile barrages, with the goal of pressuring targets quickly before they can respond. It also highlights the ship’s enhanced propulsion and straight-line speed for hit-and-run attacks.
The Sabre Firebird is not the most flexible Sabre. It is the Sabre built to arrive fast, create missile pressure, and leave before the fight becomes a brawl.
That is the core buyer message.
Missile Strike Gameplay Role
The Firebird’s main role is missile-focused combat. It is for pilots who want to pressure targets with missile volleys, use speed to control engagement timing, and avoid long fights where the ship’s lighter gun package becomes a limitation.
In practical gameplay, the Sabre Firebird fits several roles:
| Gameplay Use | Why the Firebird Fits |
|---|---|
| Missile strike runs | Current reference data lists a large S3 missile package as the defining feature. |
| Fast interception | High speed helps the Firebird reach or disengage from fights quickly. |
| Hit-and-run attacks | Enhanced propulsion supports quick approach and exit. |
| Solo fighter use | One pilot controls the whole ship. |
| Sabre collection | Distinct role from Sabre, Comet, Raven, and Peregrine. |
| Softening targets before gun contact | Missiles can force reactions before the Firebird commits to guns. |
The Firebird should be described as a missile-strike fighter, not a normal dogfighter.
Missile System and Burst Pressure
The Firebird’s missile system is the main selling point. Current live-reference data lists a deployable bespoke missile launcher with 24× Size 3 Thunderbolt III missiles, while RSI’s original Q&A describes the Firebird’s rack as bespoke and not freely replaceable with smaller racks for different missile counts.
Missile Feature and Player Meaning:
- Large S3 missile package: Useful opening pressure and target disruption.
- Bespoke rack identity: The ship is built around its missile system, not generic rack swapping.
- Missiles can be exchanged within limits: RSI’s Q&A says the missiles themselves can be exchanged, even though the bespoke rack capacity is fixed in that answer.
- Patch-sensitive performance: Missile lock, tracking, countermeasures, and balance can change often.
The Firebird is only as good as its missile window. Once the missiles are spent or countered, it becomes a much more limited fighter.
This is important for buyer trust.
Guns and Combat Follow-Up
The Firebird is not unarmed after firing missiles, but its gun package is not the same as the standard Sabre. Current reference data lists 2× Size 3 Mantis GT-220 Gatling guns.
| Weapon Layer | Gameplay Meaning |
|---|---|
| 2× S3 ballistic Gatlings | Useful follow-up damage after missile pressure. |
| No full standard-Sabre gun package | Gunfighting is not the main reason to buy it. |
| Pilot-controlled weapons | Solo pilot controls the entire combat package. |
| Missile-first identity | Guns support the strike; missiles define the ship. |
The Firebird can still shoot, but it is not the Sabre variant you choose for sustained gunfighting.
If the buyer wants a cleaner gun-focused stealth fighter, the standard Sabre or Sabre Comet makes more sense.
Speed and Hit-and-Run Identity
The Firebird’s speed is part of the design. RSI describes the Firebird as bringing speed and ballistic firepower to the Sabre chassis, and current reference material highlights its enhanced propulsion and straight-line speed for hit-and-run attacks.
The Firebird wants to choose the timing of the fight, not sit still and trade damage.
This makes it different from ships like Hornet, F7A Mk II, Vanguard, or Hurricane. The Firebird’s best style is:
- Approach fast.
- Create missile pressure.
- Use guns only when the window is favorable.
- Leave before the target or escorts can punish it.
Stealth and Signature Expectations
The Firebird belongs to the Sabre family, so low-profile identity matters. Current reference data lists reduced cross-section, IR, and EM values in the live reference panel, but stealth should never be written as invisibility.
The Firebird has Sabre low-profile flavor, but stealth still depends on components, emissions, distance, radar, power use, and current patch balance.
Do not sell it as a guaranteed ambush ship. Sell it as a fast missile fighter that benefits from lower-profile Sabre design.
Solo Gameplay Expectations
The Firebird is a true solo ship. Current reference data lists one crew station and no cargo or crew-support role.
The Firebird is easy to understand: one pilot, one fast Sabre, one missile-focused attack plan.
There is no turret gunner, co-pilot, engineer, cargo operator, or prisoner-pod workflow. The ship is fully pilot-controlled.
Cargo and Utility Expectations
The Firebird has 0 SCU and should not be sold as a practical daily ship. Its personal storage and weapon rack are useful for pilot equipment, but they do not create cargo gameplay. Current reference material lists internal storage and a weapon rack, but its ship role remains combat-focused.
Buy the Firebird for missile combat, not cargo, box delivery, mining, salvage, medical support, or daily utility.
If a buyer wants a practical everyday ship, compare Avenger Titan, 300i, Cutlass Black, C1 Spirit, Zeus CL, or Taurus.
Real Player Use: Where the Firebird Feels Good
The Firebird feels best when the player wants to strike first and control the opening of the fight. It is not a ship that rewards slow, messy, extended brawls. It rewards timing.
The Firebird is fun when you enjoy setting up the attack, forcing the target to react, and leaving before the fight turns against you.
A practical Sabre Firebird session should feel like setting up a short attack window, not committing to a long brawl. The pilot uses speed to approach, creates pressure with missiles, watches how the target reacts to locks and countermeasures, then decides whether to follow up with the S3 Gatlings or disengage. When the missiles connect or force a mistake, the Firebird feels sharp and rewarding. When the missiles are spent, countered, or the fight turns into a prolonged gun duel, the ship becomes much less comfortable. In real use, the Firebird rewards pilots who like timing, positioning, and burst pressure more than pilots who want a normal sustained dogfighter.
Direct Vehicle Comparisons
Firebird vs Standard Sabre, Comet, Raven & Peregrine
| Ship | Best For | Main Difference |
|---|---|---|
| Sabre Firebird | Missile strike, speed, hit-and-run attacks | Clearer missile identity with bespoke rack, lighter gunfighter feel. |
| Standard Sabre | Classic stealth-fighter gun combat | Better if the buyer wants the quad S3 baseline stealth gunfighter experience. |
| Sabre Comet | Masters of Flight collector combat | Special-edition livery and dogfighting-flavored custom loadout. |
| Sabre Raven | Rare EMP / intelligence identity | Control, EMP generators, and rarity matter more than missile payload. |
| Sabre Peregrine | Racing and speed performance | Faster racing identity, but no normal combat role or weapons. |
Choose the standard Sabre if you want the classic stealth fighter. Choose the Comet for collector combat flavor. Choose the Raven if EMP rarity matters. Choose the Peregrine if you want to race. Choose the Firebird if you want missile-focused Sabre gameplay.
Firebird vs Eclipse & Ares Series
Heavy anti-capital strike profiles contrast sharply with medium-fighter high-velocity missile salvos.
| Ship | Best For | Main Difference |
|---|---|---|
| Sabre Firebird | S3 missile pressure against small/medium targets | More fighter-like, faster, and less heavy torpedo-focused. |
| Esperia Eclipse | Stealth S9 torpedo strikes | Built for high-risk single-shot assassination attacks against large capital targets. |
| Ares Platforms | Anti-large-ship weapon pressure | Direct anti-large-ship gun pressure with single massive size 7 guns like the Ares Ion or Ares Inferno. |
Choose the Eclipse if you want stealth torpedo strikes against capital hulls. Choose the Ares if your main target is large. Choose the Firebird if you want fast missile pressure in a Sabre package.
Firebird vs Gladius, Arrow, F7A Mk II & Ghost
Standard dogfighters provide continuous projectable DPS compared to the timing-based ammo limits of missile boats.
| Ship | Best For | Main Difference |
|---|---|---|
| Sabre Firebird | Missile burst and fast attack windows | More specialized around missile volleys and hit-and-run disengagement. |
| Aegis Gladius | Pure light-fighter dogfighting | Sustained gunfighting agility with classic military light fighter metrics. |
| Anvil Arrow | Lightweight solo dogfighting | Ultra-compact agility profile; maximizes turning rates in dogfights. |
| F7A Hornet Mk II | Military Hornet gunfighter identity | High-tier medium-fighter gun pressure under direct pilot control. |
| Hornet Ghost Mk I | Hornet combat with stealth flavor | Traditional medium brawler chassis retrofitted for lower signature tracking. |
Choose the Gladius or Arrow for pure dogfighting agility. Choose the F7A Mk II for military gunfighter dominance. Choose the Ghost for stealth Hornet feel. Choose the Firebird for missile-strike attack runs.
Firebird vs Vanguard Harbinger, Antares & Guardian QI
| Ship | Best For | Main Difference |
|---|---|---|
| Sabre Firebird | Fast solo missile strikes | Smaller, faster, single-seat, and more Sabre-like footprint. |
| Vanguard Harbinger | Long-range heavy fighter-bomber work | Heavy long-range frame with deep-space endurance, interior habitat, and heavy ordnance. |
| Scorpius Antares | EMP / quantum control with two crew | Control fighter profile; disables systems using EMP and dampening rather than raw missile strikes. |
| Guardian QI | Heavy fighter interdiction | Heavy fighter dampening platform built to trap targets in place. |
Choose the Vanguard Harbinger if you want long-range heavy strike capability. Choose the Antares or Guardian QI for interdiction and control tools. Choose the Firebird if you want fast solo missile pressure.
Combat, Missiles, and Practical Expectations
The Firebird is specialized. It should not be sold as the best ship at every fighter job.
If the buyer wants:
- missile burst, choose Sabre Firebird.
- classic stealth gunfighting, choose standard Sabre.
- special-edition Sabre collection, compare Sabre Comet.
- racing, choose Sabre Peregrine.
- EMP rarity, compare Sabre Raven.
- torpedo strikes, compare Eclipse.
- pure dogfighting, compare Gladius, Arrow, Hornet, or F7A.
- daily utility or cargo, choose a practical multi-role ship.
The Sabre Firebird is valuable because it gives the Sabre family a missile-strike role, not because it replaces every fighter.
Explore Sabre Firebird Upgrade Paths
If you prefer to build toward the Sabre Firebird from another ship, you can view our Star Citizen Sabre Firebird CCU Upgrades and plan a more flexible Aegis, Sabre-series, or missile-fighter upgrade path over time.
For the Firebird specifically, buyers should check the exact listing carefully because pledge availability, insurance, missile count, rack behavior, and in-game availability can change. Current reference data shows the Firebird as buyable in-game in version 4.8.2, while pledge availability should still be checked against the exact listing.

Sabre Firebird Strengths and Limitations
| Strategic Strengths | Operational Limitations |
|---|---|
| Clear missile-focused Sabre identity. | Very dependent on missile balance and lock behavior. |
| Flight Ready and usable now. | Exact live missile count and performance can change by patch. |
| Fast Sabre-family hit-and-run style. | Not designed for long sustained gunfights. |
| Single-seat control. | No turret, co-pilot, or crew gameplay. |
| Large current S3 missile package. | Countermeasures and target behavior can reduce value. |
| 2× S3 Gatling guns for follow-up. | Lighter gunfighter profile than the standard Sabre. |
| 0 SCU keeps the role clear. | No cargo, delivery, mining, salvage, or daily utility. |
| Good Sabre-series collector appeal. | Less practical than multi-role ships and less flexible than baseline fighters. |
Who Should Buy the Sabre Firebird?
The Sabre Firebird is best for players who want a fast solo missile fighter with Aegis style. It is especially suitable for Sabre collectors, missile-focused pilots, players who like hit-and-run combat, Aegis fans, and buyers who already own practical ships but want a more specialized combat option.
It is also a good fleet piece for players who already have daily, cargo, and utility ships covered. The Firebird does not replace a hauler, starter, or multi-role ship. It adds a fast strike role to a fleet.
Players who want sustained dogfighting should compare Gladius, Arrow, Hornet, or standard Sabre. Players who want torpedo stealth should compare Eclipse. Players who want EMP or quantum control should compare Raven, Antares, or Guardian QI. But for buyers who want the missile-focused Sabre, the Aegis Sabre Firebird is the more direct choice.
Sabre Firebird FAQ
Is the Aegis Sabre Firebird worth buying in Star Citizen?
Yes, if you want a fast solo Sabre variant focused on missile burst and hit-and-run combat. It is not ideal if you want cargo, daily utility, EMP, racing, or sustained dogfighting.
Is the Sabre Firebird Flight Ready?
Yes. Current reference data lists the Sabre Firebird as Flight Ready, with Flight Ready history from Alpha 3.23.1.
What is the main role of the Sabre Firebird?
The Firebird is a missile-focused Sabre variant. Current reference material describes it as designed for swift attacks using a customized missile system and rapid barrages.
How many crew does the Sabre Firebird need?
The Firebird is a single-seat ship. It is built for one pilot, with no gunner or co-pilot role.
How much cargo does the Sabre Firebird have?

What weapons does the Sabre Firebird have?
Current reference data lists 2× Size 3 Mantis GT-220 Gatling guns and 24× Size 3 Thunderbolt III missiles. RSI’s original launch material / Q&A described a 12× S3 missile setup, so exact missile count should always be checked against the current live build or listing.
Can the Sabre Firebird change missile racks?
RSI’s Q&A says the Firebird uses a bespoke missile rack and that the rack capacity cannot be adjusted in the way normal smaller racks might be swapped, though the missiles themselves can be exchanged.
Is the Sabre Firebird a stealth ship?
It belongs to the Sabre stealth-fighter family, but it should not be described as invisible. Signature, components, emissions, radar, range, and current patch balance still matter.
Should I choose the Sabre Firebird or standard Sabre?
Choose the Sabre Firebird if you want the missile-focused Sabre: fast approach, burst pressure, S3 missile volleys, 2×S3 Gatling follow-up, and hit-and-run attack windows. Choose the standard Sabre if you want the more traditional stealth-fighter Sabre with a broader gunfighter role. The Firebird is the better choice for missile burst, while the standard Sabre is the better choice for sustained fighter gameplay.
Is the Sabre Firebird better than the standard Sabre?
The Firebird is better if the buyer wants missile burst. The standard Sabre is better if the buyer wants the classic stealth-fighter gun platform.
Is the Sabre Firebird better than the Sabre Comet?
The Firebird is better for missile strikes. The Comet is better for special-edition combat collection and a more dogfighting-flavored Sabre identity.
Is the Sabre Firebird better than the Sabre Peregrine?

Is the Sabre Firebird better than the Sabre Raven?
The Firebird is better for missile damage. The Raven is better if the buyer specifically wants rare EMP / intelligence identity.
Is the Sabre Firebird better than the Eclipse?

Is the Sabre Firebird better than the F7A Hornet Mk II?
The F7A Mk II is better for direct military fighter combat. The Firebird is better if the buyer wants a missile-focused Sabre.
Is the Sabre Firebird good for solo players?
Yes. It is a single-seat fighter, so solo pilots can use its full core role.
Is the Sabre Firebird good for PvE?
Yes, for combat missions where missile pressure is useful. It is less appealing for long chains of fights where missile rearm cost, countermeasures, or limited gun output become more important.
Is the Sabre Firebird good for PvP?
It can be useful in PvP, but it should not be sold as a guaranteed meta ship. Its value depends heavily on missile balance, countermeasures, target type, loadout, and pilot timing.
Is the Sabre Firebird good as a daily driver?
No. It has no cargo role and no utility gameplay. It is a specialized combat ship.
Does the Sabre Firebird have good long-term value?
Yes, for the right buyer. The Sabre Firebird has role-focused long-term value for Sabre collectors, missile-focused pilots, Aegis fans, and players who enjoy fast hit-and-run combat. Its main limitation is clear: it depends heavily on missiles and is less flexible than standard fighters or practical daily ships.
