      Plan a useful session
      YOUR FIRST USEFUL SESSION

      Rehearse a complete fuel handoff

      Coordinate two pilots through approach, purchase, transfer and safe separation.

      SC Nomads planning advice. The linked visual guides contain controls, illustrated steps and dated sources.

      1. STEP 1

        Inspect your delivery setup

        Confirm fuel stock, the current nozzle setup and the request before travelling.

        Ready when: You are carrying what the receiver needs.

        Why it matters

        Use the current refueling guide. Older tutorials describe controls and manual-flow behavior that changed.

        Open the practical guide
      2. STEP 2

        Agree the approach

        Choose a quiet rendezvous and coordinate the docking sequence with the receiver.

        Ready when: Both pilots know when to hold position or abort.

        Why it matters

        Practise with a friend before taking a remote rescue. Docking alone is not confirmation of fuel delivery.

        Open the practical guide
      3. STEP 3

        Check transfer before separation

        Follow the current purchase and pod procedure, then confirm completion with the receiving pilot.

        Ready when: The expected fuel arrived and both ships can depart.

        Why it matters

        Record remaining stock and service needs before accepting the next request.

        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.

      PEOPLE AND PREPARATION

      What changes when a friend joins?

      When you are alone

      You still need a receiving pilot. Plan who handles the provider controls while keeping the rendezvous safe.

      1 advertised crew. This is an advertised crew reference, not a solo recommendation or passenger-seat count.

      Record my Starlite setup and results

      Travel and recovery

      Check installed travel equipment and reachable services. The role and external dimensions do not establish range or jump capability.

      Docking alone does not start deliveryOfficial reference · Selling fuel to another pilot

      Refueling mode extends the nozzle. After docking, the receiver orders fuel and the provider must open the relevant pods.

      What helps

      Check nozzle mode, accepted docking, the receiver order and pod state together. Agree who handles the controls before a rescue.

      Old flow-rate tutorials are obsoleteOfficial reference · Following refueling advice from before Alpha 4.8

      The overhaul removed manual flow adjustment and flow-speed nozzle damage. The fitted nozzle determines flow characteristics.

      What helps

      Check the current nozzle and pod configuration. Use the current docking and refueling bindings rather than an old control sequence.

      Combined demand can exceed the available power pool.
