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.
Practise one local flight from the dedicated Centaurus dock, then check what the carrier can and cannot do for the next sortie.
SC Nomads planning advice. The linked visual guides contain controls, illustrated steps and dated sources. Hull-specific facts: CIG Constellation Mk V Centaurus Q&A , reviewed 2026-10-17.
Inspect the Centaurus dock and Skylark condition together, then agree a short route and recovery point with the carrier pilot.
Ready when: You know where to return and who remains aboard the carrier.
CIG identifies Skylark as the current matching snub; a P-52 or P-72 docking tutorial will mislead you. The linked lesson covers coordination, not a verified docking keybind.
Practise turning and stopping with the actual fitted weapons and shields in a low-risk mode before a dangerous sortie.
Ready when: You can recognize the ship response and can end the trial deliberately.
CIG describes unusually strong snub shielding but a heavier, less agile feel. Do not mistake that tradeoff for a guarantee of combat survivability.
Return to the agreed carrier and verify the docked state. Check remaining fuel, ammunition and damage before selecting a separate service facility.
Ready when: The carrier has recovered the ship and the next service action is known.
The Centaurus does not provide mothership refuel, rearm or repair. A successful dock is not a service confirmation.
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.
You can fly the Skylark alone, but then no one is flying the Centaurus. Plan how you will preserve and recover the carrier instead of assuming it follows you.
1 advertised crew. This is an advertised crew reference, not a solo recommendation or passenger-seat count.
Record my Skylark setup and resultsKeep a pilot at the Centaurus controls while the Skylark flies. Agree when to launch, when to abort and when both pilots confirm a safe return.
Find members interested in this shipSearch uses members’ shared ship and activity preferences. It does not promise an available pilot or access to their ship.

CIG says the current dock accepts Skylark, not the P-52 or P-72.
Use Skylark for the intended docking arrangement. Do not infer compatibility from earlier Constellations.
