The Nomad is a small utility SLV produced by Faulcon DeLacy.[1] This is the first Ship-Launched Vessel (SLV) and the first flyable vessel with an interior. Early access for ARX began on 30th June 2026.[1][2]

Overview

The compact design makes it highly maneuverable to easily explore planetary terrain.[3] The skids and small landing footprint enable it to easily land on rough terrain near places for exobiology.[2][3] The Mk II Biological Scanner enables the detection of biological signals from the cockpit.[3] The 2 gull-wing doors on the sides and 1 ramp at the rear of the interior allows fast disembarking and re-entry.[3] It has nimble thrusters and a rapid spool-up capability.[3] The main ship stays in orbit or can be dismissed via the ship menu. It can fly seamlessly between a planet surface and space, but it lacks an FSD so this takes a long time.

The Nomad is also useful as a personal dropship for settlement missions. It excels at low-altitude reconnaissance, bypass anti-aircraft defenses and land directly in the middle of hostile settlements. However, it cannot transport other commanders and it cannot dock at a starport or outpost.

The Nomad purchased via an early access ARX bundle has infinite redeploys. If bought for credits it will have a limited number of redeploys before requiring to be restocked at a market.[citation needed]
