A Carrack-ready scout for short expeditions

The C8X handles the short but important trips around a larger expedition: scouting a route, checking a landing site, carrying two passengers, and moving 4 SCU of equipment between ship and surface.

Practical shuttle work in the Expedition finish

The Expedition model keeps the useful three-seat cabin and 4-SCU hold of the Pisces while adding its distinctive special-edition livery.

Development note: The Pisces C8X Expedition is flight ready and entered the live game in Alpha 3.7.2. Because Star Citizen remains in active development, specifications, features, and imagery may change over time.

A small ship for the final leg

Seats, cargo space, easy access, and a compact footprint make the C8X useful wherever the main ship is too large for the job.

4-SCU cargo hold

The rear hold carries expedition supplies, field equipment, personal gear, or a small delivery without crowding the seats.

Two passenger jump seats

A pilot can move two passengers between a carrier, station, and landing site without committing a larger transport.

Compact carrier footprint

The Pisces fits inside ships such as the Carrack and remains small enough for tight landing areas and short surface transfers.

Pathfinder cockpit

Straightforward flight and navigation systems support route scouting, landing-site checks, and everyday shuttle work.

Expedition finish

The C8X pairs the practical Pisces layout with the distinctive Anvil Expedition livery and presentation.

Quick boarding

The rear ramp gives passengers and equipment a simple route into the cabin for frequent shuttle trips.

Three seats and 4 SCU in a compact hull

The C8X carries a pilot, two passengers, and 4 SCU while remaining compact enough to serve as a practical shuttle aboard a larger exploration ship.

The pathfinder that fits inside the expedition

Scout Check the route ahead of the carrier

Send the C8X ahead to inspect a landing site or local route without exposing the larger ship.

Land Put a small team close to the site

Carry two passengers and their equipment into places where a larger expedition ship would be difficult to land.

Return Bring the team and its equipment back

Use the 4-SCU hold for supplies, recovered items, or the gear needed for the return to the carrier.

Scout beyond the carrier

The C8X leaves the larger ship, checks the route or landing area, puts two passengers close to the site, and carries the team and its equipment back.

  1. Choose the route and landing site

    Check distance, surface conditions, and the equipment the passengers will need before leaving the carrier.

  2. Inspect the area before landing

    Use the C8X to check local hazards and confirm that the landing site is suitable for the team.

  3. Put the team close to its work

    Set down where the passengers can unload safely without a long walk from the ship.

  4. Carry everyone back to the carrier

    Load the team's equipment and any recovered items into the 4-SCU hold before the return flight.

Built for scouting and shuttle work

The C8X combines a compact landing footprint with useful passenger and cargo capacity for the trips a larger ship should not have to make.

01 4-SCU rear hold

Carry field equipment, supplies, recovered items, or a small delivery behind the passenger seats.

02 Two passenger seats

Move a small away team between the carrier and the surface without launching a full-size transport.

03 Compact landing footprint

Reach confined pads and rough landing areas that would be inconvenient for a larger ship.

04 Distinctive Expedition livery

The special-edition finish gives the C8X its distinct identity without changing the Pisces' practical cabin.

A simple crew for short scouting trips

One pilot handles the flight while two passengers travel with the equipment they need for work away from the main ship.

Passenger seats and cargo within easy reach

The compact cabin keeps the pilot, passengers, and 4-SCU hold together, making boarding and unloading straightforward.

Pilot Handle the scouting flight

The pilot checks the route, landing area, fuel, and return path while the passengers prepare their equipment.

Passengers Travel ready to disembark

Two jump seats keep the away team close to the rear ramp and the equipment stored behind the cockpit.

Cargo Use the hold for the trip at hand

The 4-SCU space can carry supplies on the outbound leg and equipment or recovered items on the return.
