Long Haul Capable explicitly describes a full-size bunk. The same singular bunk appears in indexed CIG brochure text, but opening the mirrored PDF failed. Do not claim the PDF was fully inspected or a current-build count was measured. Reference count only; bed logout, guest permissions and current functionality were not tested.

2 × CF-117 Bulldog Repeater (S1)
Current top-level direct gun mounts and their fitted children match the extracted direct pilot-gun count. Remote turret slaving is a separate documented assignment; a crew operator may override it.

12 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: 12 SCU.

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.
Rehearse the solo working loop, stop production deliberately, and account for a real delivered batch.
SC Nomads planning advice. The linked visual guides contain controls, illustrated steps and dated sources. Hull-specific facts: CIG Ship Matrix: hull roles and medical descriptions, checked 19 October 2026 , reviewed 2026-10-19.
While safely parked, locate the output controls and place your handling tool where you can access it. Return to the cockpit and open the existing salvage control lesson.
Ready when: You can identify the next work location and its visible controls without guessing an old video route.
CIG’s 3.23 notes documented a Vulture filler station. That historical crafting list is not a current recipe or buffer-capacity specification. This is our route rehearsal, not a deck map.
Work a permitted target with the current shared salvage cards. Pause before the buffer or dispenser blocks further work, then inspect the actual output and move the first container clear.
Ready when: The container is accessible, the output path is clear and the cockpit feedback permits another batch.
If collection or output stops, separate target/tool feedback from storage feedback. Do not leave an active tool unattended or assume a listed cargo number includes processing-buffer space.
Read the produced commodity and the receiving terminal. Complete the offered sale or processing stage and record any remaining collection obligation before returning for another target.
Ready when: You have a visible accepted result for the material actually carried, not merely a full hold.
Use the structural lesson when you change work type. Do not apply an old direct-sale recipe to a different commodity or promise profit from a static matrix. Keep enough fuel and time for unloading.

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.
The current matrix lists one operator. SC Nomads recommends one short batch first: identify the cockpit, filler station and handling route while parked, then include every interruption in your time budget.
1 advertised crew. This is an advertised crew reference, not a solo recommendation or passenger-seat count.
Record my Vulture setup and resultsA helper can handle cargo after agreeing the ship state and access. This does not create a second salvage-control seat or allow the pilot to keep flying while away from the controls. Agree who may stop production.

A full processing buffer or cargo grid stops production. RMC and structural output share the filler buffer.
Eject RMC before structural salvage. Export and move boxes when the HUD reports full storage; keep dispenser access clear.
