Investigate new destinations with the Pisces

The Pisces is a compact pathfinder and utility shuttle that can leave a larger expedition ship, investigate the route ahead, and carry people or supplies to the surface. Its jump-capable drive and small landing footprint make it useful for short independent surveys as well as local support work.

Development note: The Pisces is flight ready and entered the live game in Alpha 3.7.0. Because Star Citizen remains in active development, specifications, features, and imagery may change over time.

Pisces' expedition equipment

With the jump drive, 4-SCU hold, and three-person cabin, the Pisces can find or reach something worth examining. The Pisces' support systems let the crew stay and investigate instead of turning back once a promising site is found.

Exploration equipment on the Pisces

Sensors, navigation tools, supplies, and onboard support give the Pisces the equipment needed to investigate beyond familiar routes and still plan the return.

Jump Module

Initially intended for short-range flights, the C8 can traverse Jump points due to an available slot for the installation of a Jump module.

Scanner controls aboard the Pisces

The crew can review and record sensor results before changing course to investigate.

Carry the tools the expedition needs

The ship carries the equipment needed to move from orbital survey to hands-on exploration.

A pathfinder small enough to leave the mothership

The Pisces can scout ahead of a larger expedition, land in confined areas, and carry a small team or supplies to the surface. Its compact footprint makes it useful as both an independent pathfinder and the Carrack's everyday shuttle.
