WikiP says : A carrack was a three- or four-masted sailing ship developed in the 15th century by the Genoese for use in commerce. They were widely used by Europe's 15th-century maritime powers, from the Mediterranean to northwest Europe, although each region had models of slightly different design
I will use this thread to add all CARRACK information I can gather and find, since we all love the Carrack.
"Why are Carrack's so cool ?", asked the lowly drunken pirates of TEST
"They just ARGH!" Said another in reply.

RSI SAYS : The Anvil Carrack features reinforced fuel tanks for long-duration flight, an advanced jump drive, and a dedicated computer core for jump charting operations. Originally a military exclusive, the Carrack is now available for civilian use. On-board accommodations include crew medical and repair facilities, and a mapping-oriented sensor suite.
If you over over additional Equipment, you see two entries, a Rover and a Scout ship.

It also features the Carrack Exploration game which if you complete will assign you a badge.
RSI Says : Boldly go: the Anvil Carrack has been the vanguard of every UEEexploration effort in recent years. Featuring reinforced fuel tanks for long-duration flight, a highly advanced jump drive array and a dedicated computer core room that allows it to put the maximum processing power into jump charting operations. Originally a military exclusive, the Carrack is now available for civilian use as a pathfinder spacecraft. The ship features on-board accommodations to allow for truly self-sufficient flight, including crew medical and repair facilities, and a mapping-oriented sensor suite capable of always charting a route home!
At a 123M Long and 25M high, the Carrack is one of the largest ship you can pledge for.

Macallen from Reddit :
The Carrack is the volume equivalent of several Aquilas (GHG did a great video on it). To rate the 4 exploration vessels, by role:
QUESTIONS/CONCERNS:
"Can you go into detail about what separates the Endeavor from the Carrack as far as exploration is concerned? Why would I use one instead of the other, and vice versa?"
The Carrack is a dedicated explorer, 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 terrible conditions in space and getting back home to tell the tale.
The Endeavor’s Explorer cab is more of an addon, something that can be separated and used should the need for exploration arise… but it lacks the range, the powerplant and room for addon equipment, the defensive systems and other elements that make the Carrack a tough, stand-alone ship.
MISCONCEPTIONS:
The carrack has a full sized repair bay

WikiP says the stats are as follows:
Statistics
- Max crew of six
- No cargo capacity (Modular bays can swap in cargo 1,440 Freight Units each, ×3)
- Fully equipped with a medical and repair bay, map room and sensor suite
- Tarsus Tunneler jump engine and dedicated computer core for jump charting
- Ship carries three docking collars
- Garage for an Ursa-class rover
- Includes a Pisces-class skiff/scout ship (designed redacted)
- $350 USD initial sale price
Macallen from Reddit :
The Carrack is the volume equivalent of several Aquilas (GHG did a great video on it). To rate the 4 exploration vessels, by role:
- 315p - Short range, designed as a support craft for other vessels. For example, and Idris can carry 315p's and explore the surrounding area with great thoroughness.
- DUR - Mid range, designed for mining surveys, short system hops, 1-2 folks working together. This is what you use when you're looking for minerals or salvage.
- Aquila - Long range. Better sensors, fuel, and range. Designed to find worm holes, systems, and everything else.
- Carrack - Extreme range. Think the USS Enterprise's role, deep space, go out there alone, find anything, defend itself effectively, etc. For example, the Carrack can find anything the Aquila can, but then carries a science pod half the size of the Aquila, dedicated to analyzing the data it found. It can land on the planet and deploy it's rover, like the Aquila, but carry a Geo-pod half the size of the Aquila and analyze all of the planetary data. The Carrack is the super Aquila.

The picture above is NOT a confirmed picture of the Carrack, just someone's idea of what it should be.
