Long-Range Exploration
Inside the Carrack Expedition: range, fieldwork, and the route home
The Carrack Expedition is the special-finish version of Anvil's self-contained long-range explorer. Its mapping stations, medical bay, repair facilities, modular lower bays, Ursa rover, Pisces scout, and drone support let one crew investigate far beyond established infrastructure and still bring the expedition home.
Built in an evolving universe
The Carrack Expedition is flight ready and entered the live game in Alpha 3.8.2. Because Star Citizen remains in active development, specifications, features, and imagery may change over time.
Exploration systems
What the Carrack Expedition carries beyond the scanner
The Carrack Expedition uses the mapping suite, medical bay, repair facilities, rover, and shuttle to begin the search, while navigation, supplies, surface equipment, and life aboard support the investigation and the journey back.
01
Independent expedition support
Medical and repair facilities, a mapping-focused sensor suite, and onboard living spaces let the Carrack Expedition continue working far from established support.
02
Extended range
Longer routes in the Carrack Expedition depend on fuel awareness as much as raw tank capacity.
03
Armored bridge canopy
A broad, multi-storey bridge window gives the crew a clear forward view, while a titanium-reinforced blast cover can seal the canopy when protection matters more than visibility.
04
The scanner station
The Carrack Expedition's crew needs a clear place to read, compare, and record contacts before deciding what deserves a closer look.
05
Equipment for the Carrack Expedition's next step
Storage and working access aboard the Carrack Expedition support the tools, suits, or vehicle needed after the first scan.
Defining feature
A self-contained expedition in a distinctive finish
The Carrack Expedition keeps the Carrack's complete long-range system: a two-level bridge, medical bay, repair facilities, modular lower bays, Ursa rover, Pisces scout, and exploration drones. Its special finish changes the presentation, not the serious expedition capability underneath.

Use the mapping suite, medical bay, repair facilities, rover, and shuttle to decide which contact or route deserves more of the Carrack Expedition's time and supplies.
The Carrack Expedition carries a Pisces scout, Ursa rover, drones, and modular bays, giving the crew several practical ways to investigate beyond the landing site.
Protect the records created around the mapping suite, medical bay, repair facilities, rover, and shuttle so the Carrack Expedition brings home more than an interesting coordinate.
Plan, survey, investigate, return
A complete expedition in the Carrack Expedition
The Carrack Expedition is built to go beyond the first scan, combining the mapping suite, medical bay, repair facilities, rover, and shuttle with the people, surface equipment, supplies, and return margin needed for a useful discovery.
Plan
Give the voyage a clear survey or research goal
The crew plans the Carrack Expedition around what it wants to map, verify, recover, or study beyond familiar support.
Survey
Turn a distant contact into a useful first picture
The Carrack Expedition's operator connects the mapping suite, medical bay, repair facilities, rover, and shuttle to mapping, samples, surface travel, or another practical follow-up.
Investigate
Investigate beyond the first sensor contact
A useful Carrack Expedition discovery often needs people, a rover, a shuttle, or specialist tools to continue beyond the first reading.
Return
Bring the crew and its findings back
The crew preserves enough range and life support for the Carrack Expedition to bring the expedition home without depending on an ideal route.
Expedition details
The systems that support discovery
The Carrack Expedition uses its mapping suite, medical bay, repair facilities, rover, and shuttle to begin the investigation, while range, field equipment, supplies, and life aboard support what follows.
01Bridge
The two-level bridge combines flight, scanning, mapping, and charting stations behind a large unobstructed canopy.
02Scout crafts
A Pisces scout ship, an Ursa rover, and explorer drones give the crew several ways to investigate beyond the Carrack Expedition's landing point.
03Three swappable module bays
Three interchangeable bays beneath the hull accept role-specific modules. The standard cargo modules provide a combined 456 SCU while preserving the Carrack's expedition spaces above.
04Navigation aboard the Carrack Expedition
For the Carrack Expedition, route planning and fuel awareness give the crew enough margin to use the mapping suite, medical bay, repair facilities, rover, and shuttle beyond familiar stops.
Crew and operation
Get FURTHER THAN EVER BEFORE
The Carrack Expedition's crew connects navigation, fieldwork, supplies, maintenance, and the return margin to one expedition plan.
People behind the systems
Question Investigation Endurance
Inside the Carrack Expedition: plan the discovery and the return together
The Carrack Expedition uses its mapping suite, medical bay, repair facilities, rover, and shuttle to investigate a destination, backed by navigation, surface work, supplies, and enough margin to return.
Choose the destination and what must be learned there
In practice aboard the Carrack Expedition, the route and equipment should support something the crew intends to map, study, recover, or verify.
Turn the first sensor result into closer work
The Carrack Expedition's crew uses the mapping suite, medical bay, repair facilities, rover, and shuttle to decide what deserves closer investigation and which equipment should leave the ship.
Preserve enough range to return with the result
For the Carrack Expedition's crew, fuel, maintenance, food, medical support, and secure records preserve the value of a long trip.
