2 × CF-337 Panther Repeater (size 3)
Pilot/fixed weapon grouping in versioned extracted configuration; sizes only joined by exact fitted-item name to official matrix, otherwise unresolved.
Latest known value · Current published reference
Three crew were intended to share five stations: pilot, copilot, scanning and two turrets.
The 2018 design explicitly requires choosing and changing roles; this does not promise all stations can be operated simultaneously or by the pilot.
Depends on configuration · Dated design reference · Not verified in current gameplay
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.

Latest build extracted cargo capacity in SCU, not door clearance or a guarantee that a single crate of this volume fits. Earlier matrix reference: 114 SCU.

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.
Deliver a small legal shipment while rehearsing the one documented exterior route and separating freight from future data-running expectations.
SC Nomads planning advice. The linked visual guides contain controls, illustrated steps and dated sources. Hull-specific facts: CIG Mercury Q&A, 12 September 2018 layout/design reference; current freight practice , reviewed 2026-10-20; source reference, not a gameplay measurement.
While landed, open the rear ramp and walk from the cargo room to the cockpit. Keep the internal passage clear and show the route to the whole crew.
Ready when: Everyone can return through the cargo room and identify the internal airlock before departure.
CIG’s 12 September 2018 Q&A specifies the rear ramp as the only exterior entrance, with no secondary lift or docking collar. This dated layout reference is not a fresh current-build access test.
Place a small shipment on the actual grid, preserving the walking route. The loader confirms beam clear and people clear before the pilot closes the ramp.
Ready when: The cargo is secured and all crew are accounted for on the safe side of the internal access.
The same Q&A describes cargo-room decompression for EVA and sealed turrets/interior. Do not turn that design description into a claim that today’s atmosphere simulation or every door is faultless.
Deliver the load, read the acceptance result and note any handling obstruction for the next run. End with a safe landing and a crew count.
Ready when: A real freight handoff is complete; nobody is waiting for a nonexistent data-sale prompt.
The Q&A discusses data running as a design role. This session does not claim a current hacking, data-sale, smuggling immunity or specialist scanning mission; use only systems actually offered in your build.

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.
Start with ordinary freight and a short return route. You cannot remain at the pilot seat while moving boxes or searching the interior for a second way out.
3 advertised crew. This is an advertised crew reference, not a solo recommendation or passenger-seat count.
Record my Mercury setup and resultsAssign pilot, loader and lookout. Before opening the ramp, account for everyone inside; a turret operator and a cargo handler need different stop calls.
