2 manned turret configuration(s)
Turret types extracted separately from pilot guns. PDC is not a human gunner; remote control still needs its actual station mapping.

Direct mounts and pilot-slaved remote turrets are different assignments. See Pilot-controlled armament for documented slaving and crew override. Mount size alone does not establish installed gun size.

4.10.2-LIVE.12881860. A bridge-controllable flag alone does not identify the pilot as operator. Documented pilot slaving is described separately above.
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.
Keep bay loading separate from the command module, its host hull and any insurance decision.
SC Nomads planning advice. The linked visual guides contain controls, illustrated steps and dated sources. Hull-specific facts: CIG DefenseCon 2956 Q&A, current command-module and claim limitations , reviewed 2026-10-20; source reference, not a gameplay verification.
Park, locate the actual loading opening and route to the command module, then place a small set of boxes in one bay. Leave the crew passage clear.
Ready when: The boxes are supported and the pilot can still reach the flight controls.
Follow the current freight cards. Neither an old modularity advertisement nor the total SCU figure proves an interchangeable cargo module, working elevator or particular vehicle fit today.
Read the present detach and attach interactions together before attempting them in a safe location. Keep the host position and the return alignment agreed with the crew.
Ready when: Everyone knows which hull they occupy and can call a stop before separation or contact.
The current DefenseCon Q&A describes the shared Ironclad/Caterpillar Command Module. Do not borrow an old detachment key or assume the detached host can be flown independently.
Return and confirm the intended module is attached, then account for cargo and crew. If recovery fails, agree the recovery or claim choice before anyone commits it at ASOP.
Ready when: The crew has either an observed attached state or an explicit recovery plan.
CIG says claiming a lost host returns it with a new module and bricks its previous module; that module can remain in Fleet Manager until scrapped. Do not test insurance by surprise during a shared run.
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.
Begin with the command module attached and one cargo bay. Detaching it leaves the host without its normal flight control; it is not a solo second flying ship.
4 advertised crew. This is an advertised crew reference, not a solo recommendation or passenger-seat count.
Record my Caterpillar setup and resultsName the module pilot, cargo handler and person staying with the host. Agree who can authorize a claim; a claim can invalidate a module somebody is still using.

A repaired destroyed component is not fully restored. If destroyed again, it needs docking before another repair.
Repair enough to return safely, then service the ship. Do not budget repeated destruction as unlimited repairs.
