      Plan a useful session
      YOUR FIRST USEFUL SESSION

      Complete one Hull A load and close the spindles before storage.

      Separate external-grid loading, accepted delivery and the current spindle-storage workaround.

      SC Nomads planning advice. The linked visual guides contain controls, illustrated steps and dated sources. Hull-specific facts: CIG Alpha 4.10.2 Known Issues, updated 9 October; checked 19 October 2026 , reviewed 2026-10-19.

      1. STEP 1

        Test the actual spindle and one crate

        While safely parked, inspect the spindle state and current loading interaction. Try one appropriate crate and confirm its supported placement before purchasing a full load.

        Ready when: The first crate is in an observed usable position and you can still reach the controls.

        Why it matters

        The 2015 Hull A Q&A is a design reference, not a guarantee of every box size, modular attachment, automated worker or vehicle fit in the present game. The 3.17 launch established the telescoping spindle.

        Open the practical guide
      2. STEP 2

        Verify the receiving process before expanding

        Follow the contract or trading destination’s current unload process. Check the actual accepted delivery or sale and note any remaining cargo before taking another job.

        Ready when: The right recipient accepted the actual material; a cleared grid alone is not the receipt.

        Why it matters

        If a crate or terminal is rejected, check ownership, commodity, quantity and facility instructions instead of assuming external cargo follows a Hull C orbital-docking procedure. No fixed price or profit is promised.

        Open the practical guide
      3. STEP 3

        Fully retract before storing

        After the load is handed off and the area is clear, use the present spindle controls and visibly confirm full retraction before storing the ship.

        Ready when: The spindle is fully closed before you commit the storage action.

        Why it matters

        CIG’s 4.10.2 workaround is specific to Hull A: storing partially extended spindles can leave them without interaction on retrieval. This is prevention, not a proven repair for an already stuck ship; record the failed stage rather than inventing a reset.

      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

      SC Nomads recommends one small load first. Keep loading time and walking around the external cargo in the plan; stop flight before doing your handling work.

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

      Record my Hull A setup and results

      With your crew

      A second person can help at the facility or provide escort without becoming another onboard operating station. Agree the manifest, custody and clear-area call before either pilot moves the ship.

      Combined demand can exceed the available power pool.

      What helps
