Cosmic CruiserAvailable during Release 2 waves 1 + 2 The Cosmic Cruiser vehicle was available during both waves. It was based on the original Action Force AF5 multi purpose vehicle. The vehicle was supplied boxed with a loose Space Pilot figure, usually a blue boot variant, but some are known to have been packaged with orange boot variants.. DetailsThe Cosmic Cruiser was Space Force's main Fighter/Attack/Patrol vessel when the force was established. The design is simple yet effective, and the ship is capable of SSTO operations (Single Stage To Orbit). As a fighter the Cosmic Cruiser was eclipsed by the more nimble Triad Fighter, but it still retains a key role in long range patrol and also a limited transport ship. It is still the fighter of choice for attacking larger targets as it can absorb far more damage than any other type in Space Force service and packs a bigger punch. The Crew consists of a Pilot and a gunner or passenger depending on the mission. "The weapons of the Cosmic Cruiser are still highly effective and, despite limitations such as poor visibility and restricted flight envelope inside Earth's atmosphere, the toughness of the design endears them to their crews"
