StarCitizen:Nail
More actions
Nail is a rocket drop pod that is utilized by StarCitizen:United Empire of Earth Marines StarCitizen:shock troopers for space-to-surface landing operations. It features the same internal dampeners as a Hornet, and it can deliver a trooper from the drop ship to a specifically targeted location on a planet's surface within 90 seconds.<ref name="jp">Template:Cite RSI</ref><ref>Template:Cite RSI</ref>
Nails technology remains classified and is only used by the Marines to deploy troops swiftly into hot zones. Since the tech isn't available for commercial StarCitizen:ships, players currently won't be able to experience such a ride. But there's always a chance the player might someday be in the wrong place at the right time to see, hear, and experience such a deployment of Marines. Or the player might come across Nails in-game in another unexpected way, such as in StarCitizen:lore.<ref name=":0">Template:Cite RSI</ref>
Players might also come across tech similar to Nails used as a tactic to overtake their ship. The StarCitizen:Vanduul often use StarCitizen:boarding spikes to damage then quickly deploy warriors into a ship. While the Marines were using Nails prior to encountering the Vanduul, it’s believed that the Nails tech was upgraded after scientists and engineers examined the boarding spikes deployed against UEE Navy ships.<ref name=":0" />
