This compact, ship-launched utility vessel has been designed for commanders to explore and navigate planetary terrain with exceptional manoeuvrability. Its nimble thrusters, responsive handling, small landing footprint and rapid spool-up capability makes it quick to set down, even in challenging environments, while a specialised MK II Discovery Scanner enables the detection of biological signals directly from the cockpit.|In-Game Description}}

The '''Nomad''' is an upcoming explorer [[Ship-Launched Vessels|SLV]] produced by ?. It will be in early access for [[ARX]] on 30 June 2026.<ref name=":0">[https://www.elitedangerous.com/news/discover-nomad Discover the Nomad] - 2 June 2026 - Elite Dangerous</ref>
The '''Nomad''' is a small utility [[Ship-Launched Vessels|SLV]] produced by [[Faulcon DeLacy]].<ref name=":1">[https://www.elitedangerous.com/news/elite-dangerous-june-dev-log-2026 Elite Dangerous: June Dev Log 2026] - 19 June 2026</ref> 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.<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":0">[https://www.elitedangerous.com/news/discover-nomad Discover the Nomad] - 2 June 2026 - Elite Dangerous</ref>


==Overview==
==Overview==
The compact design and skids enable it to land easily on rough terrain near places for [[Exobiologist|exobiology]].<ref name=":0" /> The main ship stays in orbit while you collect samples of alien [[species]]. It requires a large [[Ships|ship]] with a [[Fighter Hangar]].  
The compact design makes it highly maneuverable to easily explore planetary terrain.<ref name=":3">[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/elite-dangerous-nomad-release-trailer.647911/ Elite Dangerous | Nomad Release Trailer] - 26 June 2026 - Elite Dangerous Forum</ref> The skids and small landing footprint enable it to easily land on rough terrain near places for [[Exobiologist|exobiology]].<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":3" /> The Mk II Biological Scanner enables the detection of biological signals from the cockpit.<ref name=":3" /> The 2 gull-wing doors on the sides and 1 ramp at the rear of the interior allows fast disembarking and re-entry.<ref name=":3" /> It has nimble [[thrusters]] and a rapid spool-up capability.<ref name=":3" /> The main ship stays in orbit or can be dismissed via the ship menu. It can fly seamlessly between a [[Planets|planet]] surface and space, but it lacks an [[Frame Shift Drive|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 [[Commander|commanders]] and it cannot [[Docking|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.{{cite}}
 
== Compatible ships ==
The Nomad requires a medium or large [[Ships|ship]] with an Mk I or Mk II Vessel Hangar.

== Notes ==
* This is the first flyable vessel with a ship interior. You can seamlessly walk between the exterior and interior when landed.
* The main ship can be dismissed via the in-game menu so the Nomad is untethered.
* You can launch the ship in orbit of a planet, but traveling to the surface takes a long time.
* Minimum altitude to launch the Nomad is 500m.
* If the Nomad is destroyed you lose all exobiology data.
