ADDENDUM: The arrow can fit into the Carrack's scout bay. You have to make sure to do (2) things. First lower the landing gear and Second you have to point the Arrows nose so that it's facing the inner doors that are located within the scout bay so that you can get to them once you've exited out of the Arrow. I DID FIND ONE ISSUE WITH THIS: If you despawn the ship and call it back the Arrow will appear in the scout hanger with its wings up and landing gear down. If you try to open the hanger bay doors the Arrow will wig out and eventually start to clip into the Carrack. I tried this thee times in a row and every time it resulted in the the Arrow sticking to some piece of collision and eventually blowing up while still inside of the bay. So although you can use the Carrack to transport an Arrow, you can't store it in there, at least not in between game play sessions. SHIPS THAT ARE CONFIRMED TO FIT INTO THE SCOUT BAY: Argo MPUV, cargo and Personnel (The hanger doors compress its' landing gear down as they close, but it's still sits comfortably in the scout bay while traveling), Merlin, Archimedes, M50, Razor, 85x, Buccaneer, Arrow. SHIPS THAT ARE CONFIRMED TO NOT FIT INTO EITHER THE ROVER AND/OR SCOUT BAY: Gladiator, Avenger series, Terrapin, all of the 300 Series, Sabre, Hawk, Gladius. All Medium sized and large ships.
Thanks for adding this addendum because it's literally the only thing I was disappointed to not hear you mention in the video - once we get the functionality to operate the landing gear independently from the wing profile, like the Reliant can already do, the Arrow will work in the Carrack's hangar bay without caveat. And doubly thank you for adding the Pisces (and Arrow) in the rover bay at the end!!! I wanted to see that sooo bad, to have it confirmed (sad in the Arrow's case that it didn't fit though), and that answered my questions where others couldn't.
With a big crew, a Buccaneer and potentially two merlins. Merlins could re-land in the scout bay, and the Buccaneer could fly escort for the rest of the mission. That, combined with full turret crew would make this thing practically invulnerable.
@@carkindozin Nah, do it a la anime, big blinding light as it quickly launches off, everyone shocked at what that was, until someone finally sees it, then immediately explodes.
The 4 kruger layout is honestly my favorite one, since they have so much fire power by size and only small components, it transforms the Carrack into a deadly light carrier / recon ship that can repair all the small components of these snubs, heal troops and refuel the ships. I can only imagine hunting pirates with 4 krugers flying around while the 4 turrets of the carrack are all firing.
the synergy with a small org or sub group in an org using the Carrack along side Constellations, once the ship to ship docking aspect for the snub they bring to the table is just too good to ignore. 1 Carrack supported by 2 Constellations, along with 6 snub fighters seems like a perfect fit. a 20 man org could do a very well with a set up like that, very versatile and room for growth, just by adding an additional Constellation or if they get big enough a Carrack as they grow.
@@Evirthewarrior even with a bigger org, this set up is amazing for fighters screening. The constellations, carrack and krugers spread out in a fleet can effectively defeat fighter attacks and the Carrack gives the ability for the fighters to resupply in fight. Pretty awesome tbh
i'd bet if you put 2 at the edges of the rover bay, noses facing forward... you could probably fit a 3rd between them, in the other direction. it'd be picky to load, but probably pretty quick to dump; the reversed ship just backs out, and the other two fly forward.
Really hope that they make it so that you can lower the Arrow's landing gear without raising the wing tips. The Arrow seems like the perfect snub fighter for the Carrack.
@@thejopp omg, ladders, DUHHH (because yea, who doesn't wanna haul missiles up a ladder, right? lol.) but seriously, yeah. i can't wait for wings/gear to be decoupled.
The Aurora-LN on it's own is a good enough reason to have one. It's one of the most underrated ships out there IMO. Swap out a few stock modules, place a skilled pilot in the seat and that makes for a force to be reckoned with.
What I love about your videos is the cinematic way you work with the camera. Also everything is aesthetically placed, just like in a pro movie. And of course your passion for the subject matter. Like.
Seeing the Aurora in the scout bay just made me smile so much. I love that little ship, even if I traded mine years ago. If they can ever get the cargo module for it to work like the 300 series and the Mustang rework, the Aurora might be a great fit for ferrying down supplies from a Carrack to the ground, much like an Argo would.
@@cobra18 can only be spawned/repaired/refueled at 2 locations. It's just a very impractical ship to use in the current state of the verse. I look forward to the day that that isn't true.
@@officerdailey 2 locations is more than enough. There are only what, 4 anyway? Lol. I'm actually legit pissed that they hacked and warped and changed the Carrack so much just to fit in a god damn small hangar. It needed an 890/Reclaimer hangar.
I was able to get a Argo Cargo into the hangar as well. When the doors shut, it pushes the Argo down a little on its gear but was still completely stable.
Ahh just wish a prospector could fit, what a great tool to take exploring with, especially if the mining bins can be dropped off and stored in the Carrack's storage areas.
btw. you can fit an ballista in the hangar bay, but you cant close it. if you somehow manage to get it in there, while in being in your target area, your carrack suddenly has an AA missile turret.
I've got some good news for you when it comes to that. It took a long time to get all the footage, but I'm finally done filming everything I need to make the 890 video.
Argo MPUV-P can fit in the bay with the door closed. The door pushes down on the argo a little but it does not clip. I did it with the intention of using it as a dropship.
Arrow and bucc will make excellent support ships for the carrack. The arrow i left the engines on and the gear up it sat just fine Bartley used any fuel and stayed steady without bouncing. It just used the underside thruster to keep it just of the ground of the carrack bay. I wish the scout bay door would have a gravfield so you can have a guest parking so to speak and use the upper Eva doors as access
The MPUV cargo will go into the bottom garage. You would think the top of the engines would clip into the roof but its been riding down there fine for quite some time.
I hope they consider increasing the hangar size a tad. Its on the verge of fitting some really cool ships in it that juuust barley cant fit. The arrrow, gladius, etc
would be interested to see what mixed loads might fit in the rover bay, 1 ursa, 1 cyclone (2?), and 2 (3?) Nox? 2 Cyclones and 6 Nox/2 Dragonflies? 2 Ursa is great, but a diverse load might be more versatile
If CI ever does open up those side doors in the cargo modules the Carrack would become a full on sub-capital carrier, so I'm having my doubts about it. But I hope they do!
I think we need a revision for this list, as of today you can fit the Arrow as you can deploy landing gear without folding the wings allowing the hatch to close properly.
Great content, as expected. I'd love that see a versus video featuring The Carrack. (You can have it versus a rock, I really just want the imagery, and amazing editing)
I had fun doing this process with my 890J. The Razor was probably the tightest ship to ride the pad. I wasn't really interested in solving blacksmith puzzles to get a larger ship in with a pre-lowered pad.
Really enjoy your videos. The Carrack Exploration pack has the Ursa, Cyclone RN and Dragonfly Black. This whole combo should fit in the garage. (I upgraded the Dragonfly to the X1 Force and with the Nox loaner, they fit but the D-fly is bigger. Great job, miss your vids.
Loved the hard work you made there, it opend many possibilities for me to use in the carrack, many thanks for the wunderfull perspectives ans ideas. You just got a new follower 😉
Nice job thank you.I am looking into buying one with UEC at 26.6 mil that is a lot of coin but better than 600 real cash the war bond at 500 is still pretty high but if I could upgrade from say a corsair to it and keep the LTI I have on the corsair that would be great ,I got the Corsair for the exploration aspect but this ship wins hands down on its versatility, and the 250 I spent on the Corsair is now I think almost 300 to convert to a 500 warbond would be sweet for just 210 mmore I would do it but I think I will try it in game first Its a big leap,having said that I bought the merchantman last ship sale in may. take care everyone see you in the Verse.
Thanks for your hard work, man! My (currently) desired setup: Hangar: Aurora LX (for exploration of very small wormholes) Bay: 2x Ursa + 2x Dragonfly This will require some practice to fit everything tightly inside but it would make it a real "home". 8-)

I am a firm believer in leaving good room around a vehicle or small ship. Besides preventing physics box conflicts, I like room for a mechanic to work around said vehicles. Also, it's possible other non vehicle assets may end up being stored near a vehicle such as a spare, Uninstalled gun or vehicle mounted scientific module.
A player owning a ship like this can work real well with 1 or 2 player having a light fighter and 1 or 2 players having some light vehicles. Love how a ship like this can make both crazy and less crazy players to throw their resources togheter and team up.
I could see the Carrack acting as a pseudo refuel station for Arrows. They can land in the bay, refuel then take off again. And since it's just there to refuel, the carrack doesn't have to quantum jump with it inside.
ballista fits in top hangar if its open this can give carrak some firepower on short distances just remember that it will stuck there, still fun thing to try
That's awesome. Thanks for trying all of this out! I do imagine this not being possible anymore later in the development though. They will make it so there are a few dedicated "slots" in a ship in which you can lock down a vehicle i am sure. It would be way too overpowered otherwise.
Not only does it out-Krakepillar the Krakepillar, it does it while carting a full load of cargo. When we can open up the cargo pods, it'll carry even more. Also I really wish the 100 series from Origin was ingame.
Great video Law! Will you do a Carack Tour/Review video aswell? I've been holding out on most of those other video's because I really like your style. Anyway, can't wait to see some carack stories from you. Take care!
Interesting to know one's options. Though, all of these "can you X bikes" etc, I dont think that will be needed that often. Sure, if you wanna organise a race of cyclones, you may want to bring 4+ along. But for every day usage of this ship now/in the future both, I think all I want is 1 good option as a snub fighter and 1-3 groud vehicles. I was very glad to see I could fit a Cyclone next to a Rover and be comfy. Seeing you park 2 Cyclones behind each other gave me the creeps: when I tryed to park mine that close to the hangar wall (nose to wall), I clipped into the wall when I left my seat. So dunno if Ill want to try and get 2 Cyclones for regular exploring - even if the Carrack has this great function of giving you the clipping-bug-fix option of suicide+respawn in-ship that no other ship Ive owned had. So currently, 1 Rover, 1 Cyclone and maybe 1 smaller thing like a Nox sound like a really cool loadout, and Im very happy that you a- can transport that much and b- that it doesnt take away from cargo capacity (unlike my previous love the Aquila). As for ships... the Arrow-problem made me so sad, but maybe once they do introduce a button to split wing folding from landing gear usage... to be fair, it sounds like a relatively easy thing to program, just untie the folding animation from the landing gear function. Then add it to a separate button, like with V-tol buttons. For the Arrow, it'd mean landing flexibility, as some ships will probably have higher ceilings but less horizontal space, so folding the wings would be crucial there. And other ships would benefit from this option too: take a Sabre. Those wings in extended position may make sense for atmo-flight, but why not give the option of having them folded when cruising in space?
You can comfortably fit 2 Merlins into the scout bay and 2 into the rover bay. Once we are able to open the cargo bays we will probably be able to fit in 2 into each of those as well. Imagine attacking a Carrack and it spitting out 10 snubs to take you down.
I would put the Krugers with their port sides on the outside instead of next to each other, so that you can easily hop in without having to walk between the ships.
There needs to be a video where this ship lands and two rovers filled with troops, four two manned drake dragonflies, and two snub fighters all disembark to the 1986 Delta Force theme song! :) Hell, do a montage with loading (throw in some over the top hand gesturing), traveling, disembarking, wrecking some bad guys, and then flying away.
I found the Aurora quite interesting to fit in. But most of this tight fits won't be possible when (if) makers improve the damage model. Scratch the paint to fit a ship into the hangar should cause damage.
Tried with the arrow this afternoon and after having failed to land in the bay , I tried to land with the gears up.... I hovered just above the ground of the bay and turned off the engines .... perfect fit but without the landing gears..... and the ship was stable inside the bay during travel 😉
So, it can be used as a carrier! You just know that the rebels would do something pretty similar, which makes it cool..! Also it could be used as an unorthodox way of deploying extra fighting force to a place difficult for the parasite craft to reach on its own..! I cannot wait to try that someday! The Aurora could be used as a shuttle too! Maybe you don’t want to land or dock for once, but use something quicker for supply or personnel runs..!

I could see the Carrack acting as a pseudo refuel station for Arrows. They can land in the bay, refuel then take off again. And since it's just there to refuel, the carrack doesn't have to quantum jump with it inside.
ballista fits in top hangar if its open this can give carrak some firepower on short distances just remember that it will stuck there, still fun thing to try
That's awesome. Thanks for trying all of this out! I do imagine this not being possible anymore later in the development though. They will make it so there are a few dedicated "slots" in a ship in which you can lock down a vehicle i am sure. It would be way too overpowered otherwise.
I love that the Aurora fits that ship is such a nostalgic ship for me and my group and to know it fits makes it totally viable to buy one in game
Not only does it out-Krakepillar the Krakepillar, it does it while carting a full load of cargo. When we can open up the cargo pods, it'll carry even more. Also I really wish the 100 series from Origin was ingame.
Great video Law! Will you do a Carack Tour/Review video aswell? I've been holding out on most of those other video's because I really like your style. Anyway, can't wait to see some carack stories from you. Take care!
Krackapillar reference makes me smile. good times!
Interesting to know one's options. Though, all of these "can you X bikes" etc, I dont think that will be needed that often. Sure, if you wanna organise a race of cyclones, you may want to bring 4+ along. But for every day usage of this ship now/in the future both, I think all I want is 1 good option as a snub fighter and 1-3 groud vehicles. I was very glad to see I could fit a Cyclone next to a Rover and be comfy. Seeing you park 2 Cyclones behind each other gave me the creeps: when I tryed to park mine that close to the hangar wall (nose to wall), I clipped into the wall when I left my seat. So dunno if Ill want to try and get 2 Cyclones for regular exploring - even if the Carrack has this great function of giving you the clipping-bug-fix option of suicide+respawn in-ship that no other ship Ive owned had.
So currently, 1 Rover, 1 Cyclone and maybe 1 smaller thing like a Nox sound like a really cool loadout, and Im very happy that you a- can transport that much and b- that it doesnt take away from cargo capacity (unlike my previous love the Aquila).
As for ships... the Arrow-problem made me so sad, but maybe once they do introduce a button to split wing folding from landing gear usage... to be fair, it sounds like a relatively easy thing to program, just untie the folding animation from the landing gear function. Then add it to a separate button, like with V-tol buttons. For the Arrow, it'd mean landing flexibility, as some ships will probably have higher ceilings but less horizontal space, so folding the wings would be crucial there. And other ships would benefit from this option too: take a Sabre. Those wings in extended position may make sense for atmo-flight, but why not give the option of having them folded when cruising in space?
You can comfortably fit 2 Merlins into the scout bay and 2 into the rover bay. Once we are able to open the cargo bays we will probably be able to fit in 2 into each of those as well. Imagine attacking a Carrack and it spitting out 10 snubs to take you down.
FYI, Top Bay WILL fit 3 Merlin's comfortably. Just have to crouched under wings. It's not wonky or buggy.
Damn man. You've sold me on picking up the $20 Aurora.
I would put the Krugers with their port sides on the outside instead of next to each other, so that you can easily hop in without having to walk between the ships.
There needs to be a video where this ship lands and two rovers filled with troops, four two manned drake dragonflies, and two snub fighters all disembark to the 1986 Delta Force theme song! :) Hell, do a montage with loading (throw in some over the top hand gesturing), traveling, disembarking, wrecking some bad guys, and then flying away.
I found the Aurora quite interesting to fit in. But most of this tight fits won't be possible when (if) makers improve the damage model. Scratch the paint to fit a ship into the hangar should cause damage.
M50 on the Carrack would be pretty cool, like trailers moving stock cars from race to race
Tried with the arrow this afternoon and after having failed to land in the bay , I tried to land with the gears up.... I hovered just above the ground of the bay and turned off the engines .... perfect fit but without the landing gears..... and the ship was stable inside the bay during travel 😉
Thanks for the video.
After doing the Risky Salvage Oct 2023, I can afford one of these
Cool to see the Bucc fits
MPUVs fit as well if engines rotated and gear is up, they sit fine and transport no problem. can fit mpuv and c8 in bay with room if on angle lol
Man this vid is awesome , thank you
So, it can be used as a carrier! You just know that the rebels would do something pretty similar, which makes it cool..!
Also it could be used as an unorthodox way of deploying extra fighting force to a place difficult for the parasite craft to reach on its own..! I cannot wait to try that someday!
The Aurora could be used as a shuttle too! Maybe you don’t want to land or dock for once, but use something quicker for supply or personnel runs..!
Cool vid. I imagine you would be able to fit a few Tumbril bikes in rover hangar bay when they eventually come out.
