A moving protective bubble for a remote worksite

The standard MRX Torrent uses ballistic fire and dedicated search, detection, and tracking software to intercept incoming ordnance. Optional laser and missile point-defense turrets let an owner change the response while keeping the same compact Greycat chassis.

Security equipment that can relocate with the operation

A fixed defense protects one location. The MDC can move with miners, cargo teams, vehicles, or a changing perimeter, bringing its tracking system and small cargo supply to the place that needs coverage next.

Development note: The MDC is flight ready and entered the live game in Alpha 4.4.0. Because Star Citizen remains in active development, specifications, features, and imagery may change over time.

MDC's weapons and protection

Terrain choice, target information, and the tracked Size 1 turret built to intercept incoming ordnance help the MDC protect the people or vehicles operating around it.

MRX Torrent point-defense turret

The standard Size 1 ballistic system searches for and engages missiles, torpedoes, and other fast incoming threats.

Alternative defense turrets

Compatible laser and missile point-defense options let the owner change how the MDC answers incoming ordnance.

Automated tracking software

Dedicated detection and tracking systems handle threats that move too quickly for ordinary manual observation.

MDC's driver and gunner awareness

The crew coordinates movement, targets, and the location of friendly forces from one vehicle.

MDC's weapon coverage

Terrain and hull position determine which threats the gun battery can reach without exposing the whole MDC.

The MDC point-defense suite

The MDC carries an MRX Torrent Size 1 ballistic point-defense turret with dedicated search, detection, and tracking software. Optional laser and missile point-defense turrets let the owner change how the vehicle protects a remote site from fast incoming threats.

Coverage Place the MDC where its sensors can see the approach

Buildings, terrain, and friendly vehicles must not hide incoming ordnance from the MDC until the last moment.

Automation Let the tracking suite handle fast threats

The standard Torrent turret is designed to search for, follow, and engage missiles, torpedoes, and other rapidly moving contacts.

Configuration Choose ballistic, laser, or missile point defense

Alternative turret options let the MDC match its defensive method to the site, expected threat, and available support.

Protecting a site from incoming ordnance

The MDC moves point defense with the operation, using its tracking suite and selected turret to watch for missiles or torpedoes before they reach nearby people, vehicles, or equipment.

  1. Position the MDC

    Terrain and structures should protect the MDC without hiding the incoming threats its sensors need to detect.

  2. Let the tracking system hold the fast contacts with the MDC

    Dedicated software searches for, identifies, and follows ordnance that would be difficult to manage through ordinary manual observation.

  3. Use the selected point-defense turret with the MDC

    Ballistic, laser, and missile options let the owner choose how the MDC engages threats around the protected site.

  4. Move the defense as the worksite changes with the MDC

    The compact vehicle can follow a changing worksite or leave a position that has become exposed.

MDC: Weapons, protection, and mobility

The MDC brings its tracked Size 1 turret built to intercept incoming ordnance to nearby troops and vehicles, with armor and mobility to fire from cover and relocate when needed.

01 Rough-terrain mobility on the MDC

The compact chassis can patrol uneven ground and reposition as the protected worksite changes.

02 0.25-SCU rear cargo

Two 0.125-SCU boxes carry ammunition, tools, supplies, or equipment for the local defense task.

03 Personal equipment storage on the MDC

Internal lockers and weapon racks keep the driver's field gear organized inside the vehicle.

04 Targeting and visibility on the MDC

Inside the MDC, clear sightlines and target calls help the crew bring the gun battery onto the greatest threat to nearby units.

One driver places and supports the MDC's automated protection

The point-defense suite handles fast target tracking, leaving the operator to choose the protective position, watch the site, and move the vehicle when coverage or terrain changes.

The operator manages the defensive area, not every projectile

The turret's search and tracking software responds to incoming ordnance while the driver keeps the MDC supplied, positioned, and connected to the people or equipment under protection.

Position Keep the protected site inside the effective coverage

The operator chooses ground that gives the sensors a clear view without leaving the vehicle unnecessarily exposed.

System Monitor the selected point-defense turret

Ballistic, laser, or missile equipment handles the rapid intercept while the driver watches status and changing threats.

Mobility Move the defense when the worksite moves

A compact chassis lets one operator follow vehicles, cargo, or industrial teams instead of protecting one permanent point.
