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.
Move a team to a permitted objective with a clear pickup route and recovery plan.
SC Nomads planning advice. The linked visual guides contain controls, illustrated steps and dated sources.
Confirm the target, permission and which player is responsible for each job.
Ready when: Everyone knows the objective and regroup point.
Treat a boarding design label as a role, not proof a particular breaching feature or mission is implemented.
Find the usable doors and seating arrangement before approaching the objective.
Ready when: The team can disembark and return without crossing active hazards.
Keep the pickup side clear and protect the pilot’s route out. A ship full of people still needs a practical exit.
Regroup, account for players and leave once the job is done.
Ready when: Everyone is aboard or has an agreed recovery arrangement.
Set a limit on looting so the transport is not waiting indefinitely in a dangerous location.
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.
A transport hull does not make a ground objective safe. Decide how you will get back if you leave the ship unattended.

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.
