What to know
The Anvil Carrack is a long-range expedition ship built to map the unknown and keep a crew working after the route leaves established support behind. A two-level bridge, medical and repair facilities, modular cargo bays, an Ursa rover, and a Pisces scout ship turn one hull...
Carrack specifications
A complete base for deep-space exploration
The Carrack can survey from the bridge, send the Pisces ahead, deploy the Ursa on the surface, and support the team with onboard treatment, maintenance, supplies, and living space. Its value is the way those systems let an expedition investigate a discovery instead of merely recording its coordinates.
Command, survey, fieldwork, and recovery under one roof
The broad bridge brings flight, scanning, mapping, and charting together. Behind it, the hangar, vehicle bay, modular lower bays, workshops, medical room, and crew spaces let specialists investigate a discovery and bring back maps, samples, or records.
Development note: The Carrack is flight ready and entered the live game in Alpha 3.8.0. Because Star Citizen remains in active development, specifications, features, and imagery may change over time.
Range, fieldwork, and support systems on the Carrack
The Carrack combines long-range scanning with the vehicles, medical care, repair facilities, cargo space, and living quarters needed to investigate far from port.
The carried Pisces can scout ahead, move crew, or reach places where sending the Carrack itself would be unnecessary.
The included Ursa carries the expedition beyond the landing site with protected space for people and equipment.
Onboard treatment gives an injured away team immediate care without ending the expedition at the first accident.
Dedicated repair space helps the crew maintain equipment and deal with damage far from a convenient hangar.
Flight, scanning, mapping, and charting stations share a broad two-level bridge built for expedition command.
Three swappable lower bays carry 456 SCU by default and can support other expedition modules as they become available.
Bridge, scout craft, rover, and expedition support
Flight, scanning, mapping, and charting stations share a broad command space with a clear view of the route ahead.
Two-level expedition bridge
Use the Carrack's bridge scanners and mapping stations to understand the destination before sending people or vehicles closer.
Deploy the Pisces, Ursa rover, drones, or suited specialists while the Carrack remains the expedition's support base.
Secure maps, samples, and records, then keep enough fuel, supplies, and repair capacity for the journey back.
From first scan to field expedition
The Carrack maps the destination, sends the right people and vehicles for a closer look, supports them in the field, and brings the crew and its findings home.
-
Set the expedition goal and route
The Carrack leaves with a clear expedition goal, enough range, and the equipment needed to investigate the destination.
-
Use the first scan to choose the next step
The crew compares scans and maps before sending the Pisces, Ursa rover, drones, or suited specialists for a closer look.
-
Use the scan to guide surface work and sample collection
once a promising site is found, the Carrack uses people, vehicles, suits, or tools to examine the site directly.
-
Keep enough fuel and supplies for the return
The Carrack leaves the site with the crew, records, samples, and enough range to reach support even if the preferred route closes.
Crew spaces, modular bays, and expedition support
Below and behind the bridge, modular cargo bays, crew quarters, repair space, medical care, and protected navigation systems support long expeditions away from port.
Three swappable lower modules let the ship carry substantial cargo by default or adapt to more specialized expedition work.
The multi-storey bridge canopy can be sealed behind a titanium-reinforced blast cover when the situation turns dangerous.
Crew rooms, supplies, and shared facilities support the people who have to live with the ship across a long route.
Mapping stations, route planning, and fuel management help the crew reach remote sites and preserve a safe journey home.
The Carrack carries everything needed for the expedition
The crew prepares enough range and supplies for both the investigation and the return.
A complete expedition team aboard one ship
Pilots, explorers, engineers, and medical staff can work from the same ship while the Carrack provides transport, field support, and a home between discoveries.
The bridge crew plans the outbound route, alternate stops, and the fuel and supplies needed to return.
The Pisces, Ursa rover, drones, and EVA equipment give the team several ways to examine a discovery up close.
Medical care, repairs, food, living space, and secure storage support the people and findings gathered along the way.
