        Plan a useful session
        YOUR FIRST USEFUL SESSION

        Finish one MPUV Tractor port-handling handoff.

        Move an authorized container to a confirmed staging point, then clear the lane.

        SC Nomads planning advice. The linked visual guides contain controls, illustrated steps and dated sources. Hull-specific facts: CIG Ship Matrix: MPUV Tractor dual-beam port-handling entry; checked 20 October 2026 , reviewed 20 October 2026; current controls not playtested.

        1. STEP 1

          Read beam and selected object

          Use the shared tractor lesson to identify the active fitted beam, selected object and capture feedback.

          Ready when: You name the intended beam and load rather than only see an effect.

          Why it matters

          The official matrix describes dual tractor beams, not a current simultaneous-load or mass-limit table. An SRV tow or hand-tool mode is not automatically transferable.

          Open the practical guide
        2. STEP 2

          Make a small move and prove placement

          Move one supported box through the clear route. Stop and have the receiving handler inspect placement.

          Ready when: The intended box is stable and acknowledged.

          Why it matters

          Rejected feedback or uncertain clearance means stop and reassess. A box being carried is not necessarily secured, stored, owned or delivered.

          Open the practical guide
        3. STEP 3

          Hand over and park clear

          Account for the box and people, leave the departure lane and confirm who performs the freight-elevator or contract step.

          Ready when: The receiving crew knows where the load is and what remains.

          Why it matters

          The portering role does not promise pod interchangeability or a system-wide trip. Plan actual deployment and service range rather than infer them from the MPUV name.

          Open the practical guide

        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.

        A fitted component still needs powerOfficial reference · A loadout leaves a system greyed out

        Combined demand can exceed the available power pool.

        What helps

        Check power allocation and operating mode before assuming the component is broken.

        A volume figure does not describe door clearance, crate sizes or access around a load.

        What helps
