What to know
The C8 Pisces is a small pathfinding scout ship developed by Anvil Aerospace. On the Pisces, scanning, navigation, compact support equipment, and enough range help the crew examine what lies beyond a familiar path.
Pisces specifications
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.
What keeps the Pisces operating far from port
For the Pisces, scanning, navigation, compact support equipment, and enough range help the crew examine what lies beyond a familiar path.
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.
Sensors, navigation tools, supplies, and onboard support give the Pisces the equipment needed to investigate beyond familiar routes and still plan the return.
Initially intended for short-range flights, the C8 can traverse Jump points due to an available slot for the installation of a Jump module.
The crew can review and record sensor results before changing course to investigate.
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.
Jump capability, 4 SCU, and space for three people
Use the jump drive, 4-SCU hold, and three-person cabin to decide which signal, location, or route deserves more of the Pisces's time and supplies.
Let the first reading guide a closer survey from the Pisces instead of repeating the same scan.
Save the maps, samples, and scan records gathered through the jump drive, 4-SCU hold, and three-person cabin for the journey home.
The Pisces as a base for remote exploration
The Pisces goes during a closer investigation by combining the jump drive, 4-SCU hold, and three-person cabin with the crew, surface equipment, supplies, and range needed to investigate and return.
-
Plan the expedition route and return
The Pisces leaves with a clear expedition goal, enough range, and the equipment needed to investigate the destination.
-
Identify the source of a distant signal

-
Follow the Pisces' first scan with a closer survey
On the Pisces, a closer look may send a rover, shuttle, suited crew, or specialist equipment beyond the main ship.
-
Bring everyone and their findings home
On the Pisces, navigation margin, maintenance, medical support, and life aboard help the crew return safely with everything they found.
Pisces' exploration systems
The Pisces uses its jump drive, 4-SCU hold, and three-person cabin to start an investigation, then provides the range, field equipment, supplies, and living space needed to continue away from port.
Working supplies stay accessible aboard the Pisces through cargo.
The Pisces can use weapons to defend itself during an attack.
Inside the Pisces, route planning and fuel awareness give the crew enough margin to use the cargo system beyond familiar stops.
