In service for over half-century, the Human Spacefighters (known as "Eagles") were the main choice for military interception, sabotage and infiltration missions. Although outdated, the Eagle is very reliable. The Tournament uses exact replicas of the Eagle used during the Human/Skaarj war a century ago. Armed with two laser projectors and a homing missile mount, they can take down any type of light- or medium-armored targets. The powerful single barrel engine provides a strong acceleration to escape enemy fire, as well as a slow velocity "approach" mode. Along with dual strafing controllers, the Eagles are extremely aggressive in space.

You can only pilot the Human Spacefighter in the AS-Mothership Assault map, but it is quite a joy to fly.

It’s controlled via a person view, and just like other space fighter games, you have access to several evasive moves, including strafes and rolls.

The primary firing mode is a pair of lasers which hit their target instantly. They are fairly damaging, and will probably be the most used weapon.

The secondary firing mode launches a homing rocket. It’s not good to use this as a normal weapon, because it takes about five seconds for the rocket to recharge.
