Reviewed ship fact contributions

Current independent corrections are reflected in the facts above and in catalog search, filters and comparison. Imported reference data and immutable review history stay intact. Material corrections earn current hull credit once per contributor and independent reviewer, not per revision. Existing private ship wishlists can receive one in-app notice; no email is sent.

Plan a useful session
DESIGN PLANNING

Plan the entire ore run

Scan, work a manageable deposit, then get the material to processing or an accepting buyer.

The Arrastra is not listed as flight ready in this snapshot. Use these steps to understand the intended work or practise with an available alternative. They are not instructions for operating an already released Arrastra.

SC Nomads planning advice. The linked visual guides contain controls, illustrated steps and dated sources.

  1. STEP 1

    Inspect the mining fit

    Read the installed head, attachment slots and consumable charges before leaving.

    Ready when: Your intended attachments match this exact head.

    Why it matters

    Save the exact fit in your hangar notes. A module plan for another miner is a starting point to check, not proof it fits.

    Open the practical guide
  2. STEP 2

    Choose one manageable deposit

    Scan and assess the deposit before committing power. Start with a target your setup can control.

    Ready when: You can keep the charge under control and stop safely.

    Why it matters

    Call out who changes laser power. Multiple operators should coordinate rather than each reacting independently to the same energy change.

    Open the practical guide
  3. STEP 3

    Finish at the processing terminal

    Inspect the carried material, receiving location and processing choice before ending the run.

    Ready when: You know where the output will be and how you will collect it.

    Why it matters

    Keep processing costs, collection transport and your next login time in the plan. Listed cargo SCU is not an ore-bag capacity specification.

    Open the practical guide

Where to get this ship

Selected community reports, checked 2026-10-20. Confirm the current price and availability at the terminal before spending aUEC.

No dated offer included for this hull yet. This does not mean it is unavailable.

Rental rules, resets and source limits

Rentals are temporary access, not ownership. The PU rental timer continues while logged out, and rented component loadouts cannot be customized. Daily rates above do not establish discounts for longer rentals. RSI rental rules (updated 2026-04-28).

In-game purchases are distinct from pledges and may be affected by Alpha resets. RSI in-game purchase guidance.

Pledge availability and real-money prices have not been checked in this snapshot. Official ship information. An in-game offer does not establish pledge availability or that a game package is included.

PEOPLE AND PREPARATION

What changes when a friend joins?

When you are alone

Check whether you can both position the ship and operate its tool from your intended station. A large crew miner adds seat changes and unattended flight time.

Advertised crew not established. This is an advertised crew reference, not a solo recommendation or passenger-seat count.

Travel and recovery

Check installed travel equipment and reachable services. The role and external dimensions do not establish range or jump capability.

This entry is not listed as flight readyOfficial reference · Planning something to fly today

A concept listing describes a development design. It is not evidence of a playable ship or completed profession.

What helps

Check the current official release status and any loaner separately. Do not choose it for a trip based only on its planned specification.

Listed crew is not a solo recommendationPlanning check · Planning to run this ship alone

The matrix crew count does not explain which tools, turrets and engineering tasks the pilot can operate from one seat.

What helps

Borrow the exact variant and walk the stations. Check pilot controls, repairs and cargo handling with your normal crew before choosing it.

SCU is not a vehicle-fit guaranteePlanning check · Loading a vehicle, large box or mission shipment

A volume figure does not describe door clearance, crate sizes or access around a load.

What helps

Check the real opening and cargo grid with your intended load. Keep a clear path between stations, exits and equipment.
