Carrack Expedition specifications
Long-range fieldwork aboard the Carrack Expedition
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.
The support systems behind the Carrack Expedition's longer expeditions
With the Carrack Expedition, range, mapping, surface craft, maintenance, and life aboard combine for expeditions that cannot rely on a quick return to port.
Development note: 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.
Beyond the Carrack Expedition's scanner
The Carrack Expedition uses the mapping suite, medical bay, repair facilities, rover, and shuttle to begin the investigation, then relies on range, supplies, and field equipment to continue it and return.
Medical and repair facilities, a mapping-focused sensor suite, and onboard living spaces let the Carrack Expedition continue working far from established support.
Longer routes in the Carrack Expedition depend on fuel awareness as much as raw tank capacity.
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.
Scan data is easier to use when the crew can compare results at a dedicated workstation.
Tools, suits, and surface equipment remain within reach when the crew is ready to investigate.
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.
Mapping, medical care, repair, a rover, and a Pisces scout
Use the mapping suite, medical bay, repair facilities, rover, and shuttle to decide which signal, location, 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.
Save maps, samples, and scan records before beginning the return journey.
Planning distance, discovery, and return in the Carrack Expedition
The Carrack Expedition combines mapping stations, a Pisces scout, an Ursa rover, drones, supplies, and long-range support so the crew can investigate a discovery and return with useful findings.
-
Give the voyage a clear survey or research goal
The crew gives the Carrack Expedition one clear exploration goal before spending its distance and supplies.
-
Identify the source of a distant signal
The Carrack Expedition's crew uses the mapping suite to choose where the Pisces, Ursa, drones, or survey team should begin.
-
Follow the Carrack Expedition's first scan with a closer survey
The Carrack Expedition's crew follows the first reading with the rover, shuttle, suit, or specialist tool best suited to a closer investigation.
-
Return with the crew and discoveries intact
The crew preserves enough range and life support for the Carrack Expedition to bring the expedition home without depending on an ideal route.
Carrack Expedition's exploration systems
The Carrack Expedition uses its mapping suite, medical bay, repair facilities, rover, and shuttle to start an investigation, then provides the range, field equipment, supplies, and living space needed to continue away from port.
The two-level bridge combines flight, scanning, mapping, and charting stations behind a large unobstructed canopy.
A Pisces scout ship, an Ursa rover, and explorer drones give the crew several ways to investigate beyond the Carrack Expedition's landing point.
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.
For the Carrack Expedition, route planning and fuel awareness give the crew enough margin to use the medical facilities beyond familiar stops.
The Carrack Expedition carries everything needed for the expedition
The crew prepares enough range and supplies for both the investigation and the return.
Plan the Carrack Expedition's expedition and return journey
The crew uses the Carrack Expedition's mapping suite, medical bay, repair facilities, rover, and shuttle to investigate the destination while managing navigation, fieldwork, supplies, and the journey home.
Match the Carrack Expedition's equipment and supplies to what the crew expects to find.
The crew compares scans, maps, and surface conditions before choosing which team or carried vehicle should leave the ship.
Long-range supplies, repair facilities, medical support, and secure storage keep the expedition working far from port.
