What to know
The Mirai Pulse is a compact open-cockpit gravlev bike built for speed, agility, and easy carriage aboard spacecraft. Its small footprint gets a pilot planetside without asking the carrier to give up room for a conventional rover.
Pulse specifications
A surface bike designed around the space it saves
The Pulse is small enough to fit inside a wide range of ships, then quick enough to cover the last leg of a journey. An open riding position, gravlev movement, and integrated combat systems give one pilot a direct, lightweight surface option.
Small in the hold, lively on the surface
Its value begins before the ramp opens: the Pulse takes little room aboard, launches quickly, and gives the pilot a much faster way to cross open ground than travelling on foot.
Development note: The Pulse is flight ready and entered the live game in Alpha 3.23.0. Because Star Citizen remains in active development, specifications, features, and imagery may change over time.
Surface equipment aboard the Pulse
Once unloaded, the Pulse combines the compact carrier-friendly gravlev frame with the mobility and carrying capacity needed for work away from the ship.
The narrow body is designed to fit inside ships that cannot spare the volume required by a conventional ground vehicle.
Gravlev movement and a lightweight frame give the Pulse the speed to cover the final distance between ship and objective quickly.
The exposed cockpit keeps access immediate and the vehicle small, while leaving the pilot more vulnerable than an enclosed rover would be.
Built-in combat equipment gives the pilot options when the route becomes dangerous without turning the Pulse into a heavy fighting vehicle.
The Pulse extends the reach of a solo pilot or small crew after the carrier has landed.
Its compact size simplifies loading the bike back aboard when the surface trip is complete.
The smallest Mirai route beyond the ramp
The Pulse gives one rider fast personal transport in a frame designed to fit aboard a wide range of ships. It is useful for scouting, crossing a landing zone, or keeping a quick surface option aboard without surrendering much cargo space.
A compact gravlev that fits where larger bikes do not
Keep the carrier ramp clear as the Pulse begins the surface leg.
Use the compact carrier-friendly gravlev frame within the grip, clearance, visibility, and range available to the Pulse.
Keep enough range and vehicle condition after using the compact carrier-friendly gravlev frame to return to the carrier.
Plan the surface route and return
The Pulse carries people or equipment beyond the landing zone with the compact carrier-friendly gravlev frame, while keeping enough range to return to the ramp.
-
Choose the Pulse's route before unloading
The carrier should not have to land beside the destination if the Pulse can safely cover the remaining ground.
-
Match speed and payload to the terrain
The Pulse's operator plans the route, payload, and return to the carrier around the limits of the compact carrier-friendly gravlev frame.
-
Carry people and equipment with the Pulse
The operator keeps the Pulse accessible and positioned for the work the team came to perform.
-
Load the Pulse for the trip home
The Pulse returns before range, damage, weather, or changing terrain closes the route to the carrier.
The details behind the final ground leg
The Pulse uses its compact carrier-friendly gravlev frame after the carrier ramp comes down, with terrain, payload, and recovery shaping the work away from the ship.
One pilot handles movement, route choice, and combat, keeping the experience direct but placing every decision in the same hands.
A broad range of carriers can bring the Pulse along as surface transport without reorganizing an entire cargo hold.
The pilot can unload and leave the ramp quickly when the landing point is still some distance from the destination.
Speed and size are its main defenses; the open frame is not intended to absorb the punishment of an armored rover.
The Pulse extends the mission beyond the landing ramp
The operator watches the terrain, payload, vehicle condition, and route back to the carrier.
Plan a safe return route for the Pulse
The Pulse uses its compact carrier-friendly gravlev frame away from the ramp while the operator manages visibility, traction, nearby people, and carrier access.
Before the Pulse leaves its carrier, the operator checks slopes, obstacles, surface conditions, and enough turning room for the payload.
The Pulse's operator uses the compact carrier-friendly gravlev frame to deliver people or equipment across terrain the carrier should not have to cross.
Aboard the Pulse, range, damage, and changing terrain still matter after arriving at the destination.
