A controlled workshop for repairs away from port

The repair bay can magnetically secure a damaged craft and close around it, giving technicians protected access to the hull and components. For larger ships, the crew can open or detach the bay and work with external arms and drones while the Crucible holds a stable service position.

Repair access, spare material, and testing travel together

A successful field repair begins with diagnosis and ends with a controlled systems test. The Crucible carries the workspace, tools, parts, and crew support needed to manage that whole process beside the casualty.

Development note: The Crucible is currently in concept. Because Star Citizen remains in active development, specifications, features, and imagery may change over time.

Support another ship with the Crucible

The Crucible brings the repair bay, drones, and external repair arms to another ship away from port, with the access and supplies needed to finish and check the work.

Magnetic lockdown

A secured ship remains stable while technicians work around its hull and internal systems.

Detachable bay structure

The bay can open or detach when the repair target is too large to fit inside the enclosed workspace.

External repair arms

Articulated equipment gives the crew controlled access to hull areas beyond the internal bay.

Approaching the client ship on the Crucible

The Crucible matches movement and communication with the supported ship before bringing tools or transfer equipment close.

Crucible's operator stations

Dedicated controls give the Crucible's support crew a clear view of tool condition, connection, and progress.

The Crucible pressurized repair bay and external service equipment

The enclosed bay creates a protected workspace around a compatible damaged craft.

Pressurized repair bay

Assess Confirm the Crucible's service before moving alongside

Confirm what the other ship needs before the Crucible brings the repair bay, drones, and external repair arms into the work area.

Connect Hold the Crucible and client ship steady through the work

Hold a stable relative position while the crew applies the repair bay, drones, and external repair arms beside another ship.

Verify Confirm the work before the Crucible separates

Confirm the repair or transfer before the Crucible withdraws the repair bay, drones, and external repair arms from the client ship.

From damage assessment to tested repair

The Crucible brings a repair site to the damaged ship, combining diagnosis, parts, stable access, the repair bay, drones, and external repair arms, and a final systems test.

  1. Find the failure before committing parts

    Aboard the Crucible, damage, access, power state, and the casualty's next safe destination determine the right repair.

  2. Position tools and parts around the damaged system

    The Crucible holds a stable relative position and keeps a clear way for either ship to stop the work.

  3. Repair with the Crucible

    Aboard the Crucible, communication and a controlled test confirm that the repair bay, drones, and external repair arms completed the required work.

  4. Confirm what the repaired ship can safely do

    For the Crucible, a controlled systems check defines whether the ship can continue the mission, limp to port, or still needs recovery.

Crucible: The equipment that travels to the damaged ship

The Crucible brings its repair bay, drones, and external repair arms to a damaged or stranded ship, with the access, supplies, and testing needed to complete the job safely.

01 Repair drones

Drones extend inspection and repair work into areas that are difficult or unsafe for a technician to reach directly.

02 Parts and workshop support

Tools, replacement material, and dedicated stations keep diagnosis and repair inside one field operation.

03 Recovery through jump points

A compatible craft secured inside the closed bay can be carried onward when repair at the original site is not enough.

04 Positioning the Crucible

Fine movement and clear communication help the Crucible establish a stable worksite around another ship.

The Crucible's crew turns damage into a repair plan

The Crucible's crew combines diagnosis, technical access, parts handling, repair work, and testing around the damaged ship.

Support another ship with the Crucible

The Crucible brings its repair bay, drones, and external repair arms to the damaged ship, but the crew still has to identify the failure, establish safe access, perform the work, and prove the repair holds.

Diagnosis Stabilize the situation before applying the equipment

Aboard the Crucible, damage, power state, access, and the parts available determine what can be repaired away from port.

Repair Control the service equipment through the connection

The Crucible's crew applies the repair bay, drones, and external repair arms only after both ships agree on the problem and the repair, transfer, or tow required.

Test Finish with a clear handoff to the receiving crew

Aboard the Crucible, a controlled test and clear handoff tell the other crew what works, what remains limited, and what should be checked again in port.
