Tiburon

The Tiburon is a large heavy gunship developed by Aegis Dynamics. Building upon the well-known Hammerhead design, the Tiburon introduces an enhanced configuration specifically tailored for engaging capital ships. This upgraded model boasts a powerful beam weapon strategically mounted along the front spine, complemented by several additional turrets that are strategically placed on the sides to maximize its combat effectiveness.^[1]^[2]^[3]

Features

Primary gun

The Tiburon is equipped with the powerful and bespoke capital-busting size 10 Supremacy-10T Laser Beam weapon, produced by Hurston Dynamics and operated by the pilot.^[1]

Secondary guns

The ship features four remote turrets on both sides, each with a size 7 bespoke C-07T ballistic cannon operated by crew members at nearby control stations. A manned turret at the stern can hold four size 4 gun hardpoints.^[1]

Missiles

It also carries eight racks, with each carrying four Size 3 missiles, thirty-two in total.^[1]

Cargo

The vehicle features a retractable cargo hold designed to hold a maximum of 64 SCU of cargo, with the largest container size it can accommodate being 32 SCU. Additionally, it is capable of transporting vehicles, including an Ursa rover.^[1]

Accommodation

The ship is equipped with crew quarters that can accommodate up to eight personnel, in addition to a captains ready-room / quarters, and a mess hall featuring a distinct galley.^[2]

Stowage

The vessel has nine personal lockers (1000k µSCU each): eight in the crew quarters and one in the captain's quarters. There are also six 'Ammunition' lockers (600k µSCU each) under the side FPS racks in the front room, plus one in the captain's quarters for 300k µSCU. Additionally, there are nine suit lockers: eight in the front room and one in the captain's room, though this feature is not yet implemented as of Alpha 4.8.0.^[1]

Weapon/Utility racks

In the front room, there are the following racks; 1x Size 5 gun, 1x Size 4-5 guns, 4x Size 4 guns, 12x Size 2-3 guns/tools, 4x Size 2 tools and 18x Size 1 pistols and/or medguns. In the Captains room there is also a Size 2-3 gun/tool rack and a Size 1 pistol/medgun/tool rack.^[1]

Flaws

Docking incapacity

The Tiburon eschews the forward docking collar of the original Hammerhead. While it retains a room in place where crew members can equip themselves and prepare for EVA, the ship is incapable of performing pressurised small cargo or crew transfers in space.^[4]^[5]

Trivia

In Spanish, the word tiburón is used to denote a shark, which is a type of large marine predator known for its sharp teeth and streamlined body.^[8]
The comparison was quickly made (even by Cloud Imperium developers), that this ship is like a "shark with laser beams". This is in reference to a recurring comedic element in the Austin Powers movies, where villain "Dr. Evil" repeatedly asks his staff he wants "sharks with friggin laser beams attached to their heads".
