CIG Alpha4.1 explicitly names the Carrack top remote turret as slaved by default; current matrix supplies its2size4guns. Zero fixed-gun objects does not mean unarmed. An occupied operator station can change control; no blanket remote-turret inference.

      Plan a useful session
      YOUR FIRST USEFUL SESSION

      Give the expedition a return route

      Reach one destination, record something useful and bring the crew home.

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

      1. STEP 1

        Choose one reachable destination

        Use the map to identify the destination, route and nearby services.

        Ready when: There is a practical route out and back.

        Why it matters

        Check the fitted travel capability rather than assuming it from Pathfinder or Expedition branding.

        Open the practical guide
      2. STEP 2

        Make a useful location record

        Note the approach, hazards, landing area and way back to the ship.

        Ready when: You can retrace the route without guessing.

        Why it matters

        Screenshots and notes can help a friend repeat the visit. Do not present a scenic trip as proof of a completed data-selling profession.

        Open the practical guide
      3. STEP 3

        Decide on a system crossing separately

        Check the installed jump capability and far-side services before adding a jump point.

        Ready when: The next leg is supported by the actual fit and supplies.

        Why it matters

        A quantum drive and a jump module serve different parts of travel. A listed role alone confirms neither.

        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.
