The '''Ballista''' is a ground-based anti-aircraft vehicle hailing from the [[StarCitizen::Category:Atlas series|Atlas Platform]] developed by [[StarCitizen:Anvil Aerospace]]. This mobile missile defense system is specifically engineered to protect ground locations against aerial threats. It boasts an impressive array of heavy missiles and a quiet signature, allowing the Ballista to proficiently address danger from the skies with a deadly surprise.<ref name="BallistaStore">{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/pledge/ships/anvil-ballista/Ballista|text=Ballista Store}}</ref><ref name="BallistaLaunch">{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/17153-Anvil-Ballista|text=Anvil Ballista}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Features==<br />
{{List item<br />
|Anti-Aerospace Armament<br />
|The '''Ballista''''s rotating launcher is equipped with eight [[StarCitizen:Scimitar V Missile]]s and two [[StarCitizen:Hellion VII Missile]]s - the largest type of missile to be categorised as a missile - and both types of missile are specifically configured for the '''Ballista''' and its operating environment. This launcher is controlled by a specialized gunner seat located at the rear of the vehicle, enabling the gunner to focus on tracking and engaging targets while the driver attends to additional responsibilities.<ref name="BallistaLaunch"/><br />
}}<br />
{{List item<br />
|Defensive Weapons<br />
|The driver can remotely control a turret that is equipped with two Size 2 guns ensuring the safety of all occupants in the event that the enemy tries to approach closely.<ref name="BallistaStore"/><br />
}}<br />
{{List item<br />
|Stealth<br />
|The '''Ballista''''s low radar signature enhances its effectiveness, rendering it difficult for targets to react once they enter its range.<ref name="BallistaLaunch"/><br />
}}<br />
{{List item<br />
|*Stabilizers<br />
|To enhance platform stability and reduce recoil, the '''Ballista''' is equipped with a mechanism that allows it to extend stabilizer legs when the vehicle is stationary, prior to the launch of missiles and torpedoes.<ref name="BallistaLaunch"/><br />
}}<br />
{{List item<br />
|Secure<br />
|The robustly reinforced interior of the '''Ballista''' ensures the safety of operators and personnel during intense combat situations. The cabin features a practical design that effectively balances functionality for warfare with comfort.<ref name="BallistaLaunch"/><br />
}}<br />
{{Note|'''*Note:''' As of [[StarCitizen:Star Citizen Alpha 4.1.0|4.1.0]], some of the features have yet to be implemented in-game.}}<br />
