What to know
The ROC is a single-seat mining ground vehicle developed by Greycat Industrial. For the ROC, vehicle-mounted scanning, extraction, and collection equipment handle surface deposits that are too large for a person and too small for a mining ship.
ROC specifications
From first scan to stored ore
The ROC is Greycat's compact surface miner for deposits that sit between a handheld tool and a full mining ship. Its enclosed cab, scanner, vehicle-mounted laser, extraction beam, and rear mineral storage give one operator a complete ground-mining loop that fits aboard many carrier ships.
The equipment around the ROC's extraction tool
Aboard the ROC, vehicle-mounted scanning, extraction, and collection equipment handle surface deposits that are too large for a person and too small for a mining ship.
Development note: The ROC is flight ready and entered the live game in Alpha 3.10.0. Because Star Citizen remains in active development, specifications, features, and imagery may change over time.
Scanning, extraction, and storage
The ROC places the vehicle-mounted mining and collection tools inside a complete mining run from scanning and extraction to storage and transfer.
The ROC's vehicle-mounted mining laser gives the operator precise control over surface deposits that are too large for a handheld tool and too small to justify a full mining ship.
Custom wheels and suspension help the ROC cross rough surface and subsurface terrain on the way to a mining site.
Collect ore safely and conveniently from the cab using the fully integrated tractor beam.
The ROC compares composition, fracture risk, and remaining capacity before committing time and energy to a deposit.
Clear feedback lets the operator adjust the vehicle-mounted mining and collection tools as the material responds instead of treating every rock the same way.
The ROC's surface-mining system
The ROC puts a mining laser and mineral collection system on a carrier-friendly wheeled chassis. It lets one operator work gem deposits beyond the ship's landing point and return with material already stored aboard the vehicle.
Scan, fracture, and collect valuable surface deposits
Bring the vehicle-mounted mining and collection tools onto a deposit only after the ROC confirms composition, risk, and free storage.
Monitor the vehicle-mounted mining and collection tools and the material flow throughout extraction.
Move material created by the vehicle-mounted mining and collection tools into storage before the ROC's handling path becomes the bottleneck.
The ROC's mining job from scan to transfer
A mining run in the ROC balances material quality, the vehicle-mounted mining and collection tools, remaining capacity, and the cost of getting the load to a refinery.
-
Choose material worth the ROC's time and capacity
A mining cycle begins by comparing the deposit with the ROC's extraction equipment and route to refining.
-
Use the vehicle-mounted mining and collection tools with controlled power
On the ROC, the path from the first scan to a load ready for refining passes through the vehicle-mounted mining and collection tools.
-
Move recovered material into the ROC's storage
The operator stops extraction before the ROC's storage or handling system becomes the bottleneck.
-
Send the ROC's load to a refinery
A mining job ends with the load secured and a practical transfer or refining plan for the ROC.
ROC's mining equipment in detail
The ROC uses its vehicle-mounted mining and collection tools to extract material, store it, and transfer it for refining.
The ROC's open cab improves visibility and communication around the deposit, but the operator remains exposed and needs suitable environmental protection.
Onboard storage gives the ROC organized room for freight, supplies, or job equipment.
Inside the ROC, scanning helps the operator decide whether a deposit is worth committing the vehicle-mounted mining and collection tools and remaining capacity.
Clear readouts and steady power help the crew control the vehicle-mounted mining and collection tools and recover more of the deposit aboard the ROC.
The ROC connects discovery to material ready for refining
The ROC's operator manages the survey, extraction, material flow, and remaining capacity through the same mining cycle.
Extract gems and store them for sale
The ROC creates value by choosing the right deposit, using the vehicle-mounted mining and collection tools carefully, and keeping the recovered material moving toward refining.
Aboard the ROC, composition, fracture risk, access, and remaining capacity determine whether a deposit deserves the time.
The ROC's operator watches tool condition, material flow, and storage capacity while using the vehicle-mounted mining and collection tools.
Storage, mixed material, wear, and the refinery route matter before another rock is opened.
