2 × size4 top remote-turret guns, default pilot-slaved
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.

Separate forward rover garage
Owner reports distinguish the garage from the upper ship hangar; no door-clearance measurement established.

Reported Pisces use, separate from the rover garage. No arbitrary ship-count or maximum-size guarantee.

Ground-vehicle restock provision
Alpha4.8 describes Carrack and600iExplorer as meant to restock ground vehicles that fit. This is not refueling every carried fighter or proof of a particular maximum fit.

URSA in rover garage (reported); C8Pisces family in upper hangar (reported)
Dated reports corroborate intended carried craft. Conflicting larger-ship anecdotes and mathematical predictions are not promoted to verified fits.

Depends on actual parent entitlement / pledge
Included secondary vessels may not appear in pledge contents; distinct standalone pack ships remain separate. Do not infer from a physical fit.

Use the map to identify the destination, route and nearby services.
Ready when: There is a practical route out and back.
Check the fitted travel capability rather than assuming it from Pathfinder or Expedition branding.
Note the approach, hazards, landing area and way back to the ship.
Ready when: You can retrace the route without guessing.
Screenshots and notes can help a friend repeat the visit. Do not present a scenic trip as proof of a completed data-selling profession.
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.
A quantum drive and a jump module serve different parts of travel. A listed role alone confirms neither.
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.
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.

The current reference gives T3: 50 km, T2: 8,000 km and T1: 750 million km. A failed or out-of-range bed sends you home.
Select the bed and check its actual tier, range and status. All three tiers support regeneration; old no-respawn advice may be obsolete.

Regeneration costs 100 cSCU. Capacity is T3: 200, T2: 400, T1: 600 cSCU; treatment also consumes supplies.
Carry spare 200 cSCU canisters and refill the bed port. Count supplies before accepting another rescue.

T3 beds treat minor injuries. Moderate injuries need T2 or better; severe injuries need T1 or a hospital.
