4 × M6A Cannon (size 4)
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
3 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.

291 SCU
Latest build extracted cargo capacity in SCU, not door clearance or a guarantee that a single crate of this volume fits. Earlier matrix reference: 291 SCU.
Latest known value · Current published reference
2015 design expected a small Greycat-type vehicle, but not the then-described exploration rover, in the internal bay.
Vehicle dimensions were explicitly unsettled. Historical expectation only, not a verified present fit or maximum.

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.
Prove the connection, transferred fuel and return reserve.
SC Nomads planning advice. The linked visual guides contain controls, illustrated steps and dated sources. Hull-specific facts: CIG Alpha 4.8 refueling overhaul; checked 20 October 2026 , reviewed 20 October 2026; dated source, later corrections remain applicable.
Read actual pod contents and the fitted nozzle, then compare them with the accepted job.
Ready when: You can name the available fuel and whether the request fits.
The 4.8 overhaul replaced older flow-speed/valve instructions. Nozzle flow is not a manual speed setting; the role name does not establish loaded supply.
The 4.8 notes document M for Refueling operator mode. Check the current HUD/saved binding, extend through that mode and confirm the intended receiver connection.
Ready when: The interface confirms the receiver and connected state.
The documented passive AI does not initiate docking; the player requests it. Use the linked current docking/purchase cards, not random mode inputs. Abort an unclear connection safely.
Observe the purchase/transfer timeline, undock and check receiver fuel, pod balance and the actual objective result.
Ready when: Both parties can say what transferred and what remains.
Relevant open pods supply purchased fuel in the documented system. An extended nozzle is not payment or completion. Recheck tanker condition and return reserve before another call.
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.
Start with a quiet, manageable transfer. Flying, reading the receiver and managing supply are separate tasks even when one person performs them.
8 advertised crew. This is an advertised crew reference, not a solo recommendation or passenger-seat count.
Record my Starfarer setup and resultsAssign pilot and fuel operator; have the receiver confirm fuel type. Agree docking and abort calls before purchase.

Plan how you returnExpand a note for its consequence, practical response and evidence. Design references, current issues and player reports are labeled separately.
Refueling mode extends the nozzle. After docking, the receiver orders fuel and the provider must open the relevant pods.
Check nozzle mode, accepted docking, the receiver order and pod state together. Agree who handles the controls before a rescue.

The overhaul removed manual flow adjustment and flow-speed nozzle damage. The fitted nozzle determines flow characteristics.
Check the current nozzle and pod configuration. Use the current docking and refueling bindings rather than an old control sequence.

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.
