It’s probably not the craft for those new to the Star Citizen den, as it’s a groundless combat vehicle and the game mostly spans across the stars, but for those looking to consider ground combat to Star Citizen’s initial experience, Cloud Imperium. Games has another unit for sale that may or may not be of interest to you. Billed as a “tactical solution for short-range anti-aircraft engagement,” the Anvil Centurion is now available for Star Citizen backers to pledge.
Defined as a “medium” anti-aircraft vehicle capable of going 35m/s with 2 crew members (driver and gunner): the tank will see you bank enemies with 1 S3 laser repeater and 4 S4 laser repeaters. Plus, you can customize your craft with four different paint jobs, from the classic “Base” gray style to the sandy brown “Beachhead” style. There are two separate purchase options for the Anvil Centurion. The price here in Australia for the Warbond edition, including lifetime insurance in exchange for using all real cash, will set you back $104.50, while using any amount of credit from the store will increase the price to $121.00.
Touted features of the Anvil Centurion include:
AIRCRAFT TURRET
The Centurion’s custom anti-aircraft platform is factory equipped with four Klaus & Werner size 4 laser repeaters. Lock down combat zones making close range airborne attacks almost moot and never worry about downtime due to traffic jams or recharges.
AUXILIARY TURRET
The Centurion engages ground targets and keeps its crew safe in hot combat zones thanks to its formidable auxiliary turret, factory equipped with a Hurston Dynamics size 3 laser repeater.
FLIGHT EXCEPTION ZONE
When deployed alongside its Atlas Platform relative, the powerful long-range Ballista, you can lock down any location on the battlefield by creating a no-fly zone that the enemy won’t dare breach.

In development by Cloud Imperium Games and its studios in North America and Europe, Star Citizen is being directed by Wing Commander (1990s) creator Chris Roberts. The game has currently been in a long-term alpha phase with no confirmed release date. Despite this, the studio has raised more than $435 million through ongoing crowdfunding. Please be aware, if you decide to buy into Star Citizen, that this is an incomplete project and that you are committing to an extended crowdfunding campaign without a 100% guarantee of a finished product.
