  • Today we are looking at the premiere boarding ship of the Star Citizen Universe, the Anvil Legionnaire, and it's history from tragic failure to vital key to security and victory. It is also the unlikely story of a pacifist engineer from MISC who ended up making the next generation military boarding craft from Anvil.

    I can 100% see an animated short film about a pilot who wants to earn his heart badge on his Legionnaire but things go sideways and he and his copilot have to adapt to a worsening situation. Maybe pirates attack or the vanduul start a small incursion near them. Random thoughts.

    When I first saw this ship, I was a bit dismissive of it because I saw "boarding craft" and it made me think of vehicles like the Hoplite and the Prowler and how I haven't really seen anyone use these vehicles the way they were intended to be used. I assumed it was nothing new, and when I think about how you are supposed to use ships like that, I always remember the clunkiness of EVA in the game and the transitions between ship and space (although it's a lot better now) and it's kinda hard to imagine it being effective or practical in combat.
    But this ship is actually something completely different, and WAY more interesting to me. I like this concept a lot. This can be a really useful tool, and it's one of the cooler looking ships I've seen.

      I want a more civilian variant where it has more storage and less seats. maybe expanded rear hatch area. However i can definitely seeing this being a favorite drop ship if nothing else. It could be the cutlass but more dedicated to its crew actually surviving the trip. I could see this also being a favorite for stealth boarding depending on how the hacking countermeasures is going to work in the game

      All you need is the tech to shoot the mustang cargo crates at the enemy with a promixity triggered dismantling that just leaves the occupants flying in space, so they can try and manually make it aboard the vessel.
      Trying to bore through the hull is more complicated.

    I love the lore, but that ship is going to be a terrible ship to board with. Funneling all your troops through one hallway is a good way to get everyone killed. One asshat with a grenade launcher will ruin your day since it clips through cover. Its more of a "customs inspection" ship than a boarding ship. A true boarding ship can make entrances where there aren't supposed to be entrances.

    Sadly the Legionnaire is a horrendous design in its current form. No way would a military craft manufacturer make a boarding ship like this.
    The long passage walkway attachment point is ludicrous.
    Do you think SAS board planes using the walkway ramps? 😂🤣😂
    A fast maneuverable dropship that can allow EVA attachment or a ship that can bore/drill/cut through a hull is a more logical approach.
    Having the Legionnaire to run hacking also makes no sense, boarders would not use a ships airlocks as an entry point that are too easy to defend from inside and would bottleneck any boarding operation.
    All the current Legionnaire design shows is that CIG have no clue what they are doing.

      LOL dude false equivalency much?
      1. The walkway has barriers along it for cover.
      2. Boarding a plane that is stationary on a tarmac in atmo and gravity is an entirely different proposition than boarding a ship in space. The same can be said for boarding a ship moving at sea. It's a shit comparison.
      3. Cool, you want to cut a hole in the side of the target ship? How long is it going to take you to cut through multiple layers of armor, hull metal and structure? What happens when you go through something you shouldn't? How do you keep the atmosphere in?
      4. Boarding is hard and dangerous, it is CQB in the worst way, that's why you have tactics and devices to help give you an edge. Capital ships and stations and eventually asteroid facilities have multiple airlocks to choose from, and you could easily deploy multiple teams. The entire design of the Legionnaire is to allow rapid deployment and entry and reduce the time for a defender to react.
      5. Further, this is ONE SHIP, and it isn't the only way to conduct boarding. EVA and breaching/sabotage is still a thing, this is what the Prowler is designed for. This just suits the needs of the UEE based on their strategies, tactics and mission parameters.

    • @RobinHartJones

      Yes in an ideal world we would cut a hole through the hull but CIG have stated that this will never be possible. Access to a ship will only ever be possible via airlocks & doors and (later) we might be able to blow turrets off. You are right that is going to make a nasty killing zone but hopefully CIG will come up with something to mitigate that eg the ability to launch multiple stun grenades from safe cover before rushing the defenders, maybe the shaped breaching charges will cause lethal spalling in a wide area beyond the airlock. Maybe with a couple of Legionnaires one can simultaneously open all the ramps and hatches while one inserts assault troops directly into the cargo bay so there is virtually no EVA and you have two co-ordinated assaults.
