What to know
The Prowler Utility replaces the base ship's troop-focused purpose with an accessible cargo hold and tractor support. It carries 32 SCU in two grids while keeping the distinctive Tevarin airframe and direct access that suit work close to the front line.
Prowler Utility specifications
A Prowler variant built around freight access
The Utility uses two 16-SCU cargo grids and a tractor beam to move containers into a hold that is easy to reach from outside. It remains a compact, specialized hauler rather than trying to match the volume of a conventional freighter.
Thirty-two SCU with a short loading route
Its value comes from placing practical cargo capacity inside a small Tevarin hull and making that capacity straightforward to load where larger haulers are inconvenient.
Development note: The Prowler Utility is flight ready and entered the live game in Alpha 4.2.0. Because Star Citizen remains in active development, specifications, features, and imagery may change over time.
Plan around the hold and its doors
The Prowler Utility pairs the two 16-SCU cargo grids with the access and handling equipment needed to move freight from the first container to final delivery.
A built-in tractor beam helps the crew move containers between the ground and the accessible hold.
The cargo area is positioned for quick loading instead of hiding the freight behind a long interior route.
The ship brings practical capacity into locations where a larger dedicated freighter may be awkward to land or stage.
The Utility keeps the distinctive shape and flight character of the Prowler platform.
A short loading route and tractor support help the crew clear one delivery and prepare for the next.
A large cargo figure helps only when the doors and clearances can accept the planned containers.
Two 16-SCU cargo grids on the Prowler Utility
The hold provides 32 SCU in two separate grids, each able to carry containers up to 16 SCU.
Two 16-SCU cargo grids
Match the load carried by the two 16-SCU cargo grids to the container sizes and equipment available at both ends of the Prowler Utility's route.
Keep the load carried by the two 16-SCU cargo grids restrained, balanced, and clear of the access the crew still needs.
Arrange the load carried by the two 16-SCU cargo grids in the order the destination can receive it so unloading stays straightforward.
Move cargo between nearby ships with the Prowler Utility
A transfer in the Prowler Utility is short but deliberate: meet the load, control it with the two 16-SCU cargo grids, place it where the next crew needs it, and move on.
-
Take the load from the Prowler Utility or station
The Prowler Utility should carry loads that fit its access points and the unloading equipment at the destination.
-
Carry the payload to its destination
The Prowler Utility's load should remain balanced, restrained, and reachable in the order the customer expects it.
-
Keep the Prowler Utility's delivery route open
Aboard the Prowler Utility, a tender creates value by removing another handling step at the destination.
-
Clear the Prowler Utility for another cargo job
After unloading, the crew checks access, restraints, and equipment before the Prowler Utility accepts more cargo.
Prowler Utility's freight equipment
The Prowler Utility uses its two 16-SCU cargo grids to keep cargo moving from loading and secure transport to delivery at the destination.
Its military roots and accessible hold suit deliveries made close to active or remote operations.
The two grids accept containers up to 16 SCU, so the load still needs to be planned around the hold's practical geometry.
Flight, loading, route security, and unloading all benefit from clear responsibility before the ship departs.
The Prowler platform retains combat-minded systems even though the Utility's main reason to fly is cargo.
Plan the delivery around the Prowler Utility's cargo access
The Prowler Utility's cargo run works best when the crew prepares the hold around both the departure point and the final unload.
Keep freight accessible inside the Prowler Utility
Cargo handling aboard the Prowler Utility begins with the two 16-SCU cargo grids and ends with a clear, orderly unload.
A cargo contract fits the Prowler Utility when the freight can enter cleanly, travel securely, and leave through the equipment at the receiving port.
On the Prowler Utility, the two 16-SCU cargo grids is arranged in the order the destination can receive it, with restraints and working access checked before departure.
The Prowler Utility is ready for another contract after the cargo is delivered, restraints are checked, and the working space is clear.
