DEEP-SPACE EXPEDITION
The ultimate exploration ship
The Anvil Carrack is a long-range expedition ship built to map the unknown and keep a crew working after the route leaves established support behind. A two-level bridge, medical and repair facilities, modular cargo bays, an Ursa rover, and a Pisces scout ship turn one hull into a complete exploration base.
Long-Range Exploration
The Carrack can survey from the bridge, send the Pisces ahead, deploy the Ursa on the surface, and support the team with onboard treatment, maintenance, supplies, and living space. Its value is the way those systems let an expedition investigate a discovery instead of merely recording its coordinates.
The broad bridge brings flight, scanning, mapping, and charting together. Behind it, the hangar, vehicle bay, modular lower bays, workshops, medical room, and crew spaces give specialists several ways to continue the mission and return with a useful result.
The Carrack is flight ready and entered the live game in Alpha 3.8.0. Because Star Citizen remains in active development, specifications, features, and imagery may change over time.
Exploration systems
The Carrack 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.
A carried Pisces can investigate, shuttle crew, or reach locations where committing the Carrack itself would be unnecessary.
The included rover carries the expedition beyond the landing site with protected passenger and equipment space.
Onboard treatment gives an away team a safer route from recovery to continued care during a long expedition.
Workshop space and service access help the crew deal with wear and damage away from a convenient hangar.
The Carrack's crew needs a clear place to read, compare, and record contacts before deciding what deserves a closer look.
Storage and working access aboard the Carrack support the tools, suits, or vehicle needed after the first scan.
Defining feature
Flight, scanning, mapping, and charting stations share a broad command space with a clear view of the route ahead.
Use the mapping suite, medical bay, repair facilities, rover, and shuttle to decide which contact or route deserves more of the Carrack's time and supplies.
The Carrack can send its Pisces, Ursa rover, drones, or suited crew closer to a discovery while the main ship remains the expedition's support base.
Protect the records created around the mapping suite, medical bay, repair facilities, rover, and shuttle so the Carrack brings home more than an interesting coordinate.
Plan, survey, investigate, return
The Carrack 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.
The Carrack leaves with a clear question, enough range, and the equipment needed to investigate the answer.
The Carrack's operator connects the mapping suite, medical bay, repair facilities, rover, and shuttle to mapping, samples, surface travel, or another practical follow-up.
In practice aboard the Carrack, a useful discovery may need a rover, shuttle, suit, laboratory, or specialist rather than another pass over the same coordinates.
The crew preserves enough range and life support for the Carrack to bring the expedition home without depending on an ideal route.
Expedition details
The Carrack 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.
Three swappable lower modules let the ship carry substantial cargo by default or adapt to more specialized expedition work.
The multi-storey bridge canopy can be sealed behind a titanium-reinforced blast cover when the situation turns dangerous.
Crew rooms, supplies, and shared facilities support the people who have to live with the ship across a long route.
For the Carrack, 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
The Carrack's crew connects navigation, fieldwork, supplies, maintenance, and the return margin to one expedition plan.
The Carrack 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.
In practice aboard the Carrack, the route and equipment should support something the crew intends to map, study, recover, or verify.
Aboard the Carrack, navigation, field work, supplies, and findings remain part of the same expedition plan.
In practice aboard the Carrack, fuel, maintenance, food, medical support, and secure records preserve the value of a long trip.
