The Nomad is an upcoming, 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 begins 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] It has nimble thrusters and a rapid spool-up capability.[3] The vessel doesn't have an FSD. The main ship stays in orbit or can be dismissed via the ship menu.
The Nomad has 2 gull-wing doors on the sides and 1 ramp at the rear of the interior. This enables fast disembarking and re-entry.[3] It cannot transport other players. It cannot dock at a starport or outpost.
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.

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.
