Carrack

The Anvil Carrack is a multi-crew explorer that has more than earned its long-standing status as the go-to pathfinder for both military and civilian services. The Carrack comes with two additional craft - Anvil's own specially designed Pisces snub, and an RSI Ursa Rover. It is built as a single, self-sustaining ship that can make long-duration voyages through the roughest areas of space. It's designed specifically for transiting jump points, dealing with extreme conditions in space and getting back home.

Since its time in the UEE Navy, it has been the vanguard of every UEE exploration effort in recent years. Combined with the high-tensile hull armor, the Carrack is one of the safest exploration ships in the galaxy. The Carrack is now declassified and it is available for civilian use.

Features

 * Self-sufficient exploration: On-board accommodations allow for truly self-sufficient flight, including crew medical and repair facilities, and a mapping-oriented sensor suite capable of always charting a route on the go.
 * Extended range: The ship features reinforced fuel tanks for long-duration flight, a highly advanced Tarsus Tunneler jump drive array and a dedicated computer core room that allows it to put the maximum processing power into jump charting operations.
 * Scout crafts: The Carrack houses a Pisces-class scout ship that is able to launch from the ship hangar, an Ursa rover, and unmanned explorer drone pods.
 * Canopy protection: The Carrack features a beautiful single-pane multi-story cockpit window that offers an unprecedented view alongside a titanium-reinforced blast cover capable of sealing off the ship quickly when danger strikes. When in blast mode, the Carrack relies on its extensive onboard sensors for flight.
 * Bridge: The Carrack's bridge is divided into an upper and lower bridge, and features control surfaces for extensive scanning, mapping, charting sensor suites, multiple crew stations, and a large unobstructed canopy. The lower bridge include 3 handing control seats, the center being the pilot seat. The upper bridge includes 2 crew station with 3 MFDs, and a commander station. The starboard control station is also able to control the remote turret that is located on the top of the ship. The commander's station has 2 MFDs and has the ability to pilot the ship. A small elevator connects the upper and lower bridge.
 * Modules: The Carrack is capable of carrying 3 swappable modules under its belly. These modules are designed to allow the Carrack to adapt to a more specific job. The default modules on the Carrack are cargo modules, capable of carrying 456 total SCU of cargo.
