COURSE CONTEXT The drill treats recovery as part of every movement, not a favour to arrange after a crew is stranded. ———————————————————————————————————————————————— ENTRY Complete: FD 100, FD 120 Equipment: Role-appropriate equipment, a backup contact and an organizer-arranged recovery option. ———————————————————————————————————————————————— CASE: Transport unavailable at assembly 1. Four crew are on the list. P-01, P-02 and P-03 confirm Assembly A. 2. P-04 disconnects after an earlier check-in at A; current position is unconfirmed. 3. The primary transport cannot be used. A backup contact is named but has not yet accepted a pickup. ———————————————————————————————————————————————— TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE AND GAME SKILLS Suit, weapon, medical and EVA readiness Practical instruction revision 1 / 9 October 2026 Inspect equipped items, not purchases Before leaving a pressurised area, check the worn undersuit and helmet, suit oxygen and environmental warnings. A helmet in storage is not worn protection. Equip the intended weapon and compatible magazines; verify reload with the actual loadout in a permitted area. Put medical pens and tools in accessible slots and equip each once. Keep drinking and helmet removal inside a confirmed breathable location. Recover from small problems early Monitor hydration, nutrition, injury indications and temperature before they become movement limitations. Use a medical device to inspect a teammate rather than diagnosing from an animation. A health refill does not remove a body-part injury. If equipment disappears from a shortcut, use the inventory to verify what remains and report the limitation instead of repeatedly trying a remembered binding. Control EVA relative motion Identify an entry point and keep the ship in sight before leaving it. Start close, make small translational inputs and brake relative to the opening before trying to enter. Align your body with the hatch instead of driving into its edge. Do not chase a moving ship beyond your return margin; call the pilot to hold or recover you. A recovery plan must include entry access as well as reaching the hull. PRACTICAL DRILL Demonstrate a loadout check and short EVA out-and-back beside a stationary, crewed vessel in a controlled location. Simulate a missing magazine and inaccessible medical pen before departure; solve both without assuming a shop purchase is already equipped. OBSERVED-SKILL CHECKS Suit protection, usable ammunition and accessible medical equipment are demonstrated. My action / observed result / assistance / evidence reference: ____________________________________________________________ Live, simulated or unobserved: ____________________________________________________________ The learner distinguishes health restoration from injury treatment. My action / observed result / assistance / evidence reference: ____________________________________________________________ Live, simulated or unobserved: ____________________________________________________________ EVA ends with controlled re-entry, or an early recovery call before separation becomes unmanageable. My action / observed result / assistance / evidence reference: ____________________________________________________________ Live, simulated or unobserved: ____________________________________________________________ Apply the technical checks in the agreed role. Discussion and simulation do not certify live handling; Crew Support evidence does not confer Pilot qualification. GAME REFERENCES The linked pages were read for this revision. Community references mix release eras; each source note identifies what is used and what is excluded. Technical explanations below are an Academy synthesis, and drills and performance checks are Academy-designed. Before practice, compare the named actions with the installed LIVE build and actual equipment. Bind actions by name rather than copying old default keys. Research is not an in-game validation. Star Citizen Wiki — Controls https://starcitizen.tools/Guide:Controls Control categories, movement axes and targeting concepts. The page contains legacy bindings and flight-system descriptions; use the installed game’s bindings, not its key table. Star Citizen Wiki — Medical https://starcitizen.tools/Medical Body-part injuries, Hemozal, symptom medication, BDL, bed tiers and regeneration. Ship tables, resource costs and ranges change; inspect the actual bed and tool. Official LIVE release check: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/patch-notes ———————————————————————————————————————————————— METHOD 1: Check what the role actually needs Start with the task, not a universal shopping list. Confirm access, equipment, communications and a way to recover if the plan fails. Report a missing item before departure so the organizer can provide it, change the role or postpone the task. Check the route from the participant’s starting location to the assigned station, not merely the contents of an inventory. Access, suitable environmental equipment, communications and return transport all matter. An item shown in storage elsewhere is not available equipment until the participant can retrieve and use it for this session. Practise: Check a loadout against your assigned role. Ready when: Each missing requirement has a workable alternative or a clear decision not to start. My action and observed result: ____________________________________________________________ Evidence reference: ____________________________________________________________ ———————————————————————————————————————————————— METHOD 2: Keep a last confirmed position Record who has checked in, where they were last confirmed and who will contact anyone missing. A disconnect does not establish an injury or a location. Update the record when new evidence arrives without erasing the previous observation. Attach a time and source to each location. A party marker, a voice report and direct visual confirmation may disagree; record the discrepancy rather than silently choosing the most convenient display. Give one person the contact task so several well-intentioned crew do not issue contradictory recovery instructions. Practise: Account for four crew after one disconnects. Ready when: The record distinguishes confirmed locations from unconfirmed status and assigns the next contact. My action and observed result: ____________________________________________________________ Evidence reference: ____________________________________________________________ ———————————————————————————————————————————————— METHOD 3: Recover before restarting Stop the affected movement when transport is lost. Account for the crew, confirm the backup arrangement and ask whether everyone is ready to continue. Do not quietly restart while someone is still stranded or unable to participate. Separate immediate recovery from resuming the original mission. First establish where the participants can wait and who can reach them. Then check the backup’s capacity, access and acceptance. A backup contact who has not replied is a possibility, not a transport commitment on which the crew should depend. Practise: Rehearse the loss of the planned transport. Ready when: You account for each participant and obtain agreement on recovery and restart. My action and observed result: ____________________________________________________________ Evidence reference: ____________________________________________________________ ———————————————————————————————————————————————— WORKED DECISION Three crew confirm the pickup point; the fourth has disconnected. The leader assigns a reconnect contact and keeps the fourth location unconfirmed. 1. Mark three currently confirmed and one unconfirmed. Preserve P-04’s last confirmed location rather than assigning an injury status. 2. Contact the backup and request a specific pickup. Keep the movement paused until capacity and acceptance are confirmed. 3. Check each participant’s readiness before restarting. If recovery cannot be arranged, close the drill as interrupted and retain the contact plan. ———————————————————————————————————————————————— YOUR EXERCISE Produce the crew status board and carry out the backup contact. State the exact condition that would allow you to restart. WHAT CHANGES Primary transport is unavailable after the crew assemble. My decision and reason: ____________________________________________________________ ———————————————————————————————————————————————— YOUR WORKING RECORD Role / required equipment / missing item and response ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ Crew identifier / last confirmed place and time / current status ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ Recovery request / acceptance / restart decision ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ———————————————————————————————————————————————— CHECK YOUR REASONING The missing crew member has not replied. Should the board mark them injured? My answer before consulting the explanation: ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ———————————————————————————————————————————————— EVIDENCE TO KEEP A role-based equipment check, crew list and observed recovery response. Criterion 1: Each missing requirement has a workable alternative or a clear decision not to start. Individual evidence / finding / assessor's reason: ____________________________________________________________ Criterion 2: The record distinguishes confirmed locations from unconfirmed status and assigns the next contact. Individual evidence / finding / assessor's reason: ____________________________________________________________ Criterion 3: You account for each participant and obtain agreement on recovery and restart. Individual evidence / finding / assessor's reason: ____________________________________________________________ ———————————————————————————————————————————————— FINDINGS AND NEXT ATTEMPT Demonstrated: observed work meets the criterion. Further practice required: an observed gap needs a specific practice task. Interrupted: conditions prevented valid assessment; not a failure. Not assessed: enough evidence has not yet been collected. All three criteria need individual evidence. A team result or quiz cannot replace an unobserved practical. Practice variant for a fresh attempt: Replace transport failure with loss of the primary channel. Check the same accounting and agreed-restart actions. My next practice task: ____________________________________________________________ Review contact: ____________________________________________________________ ———————————————————————————————————————————————— COMPARE AFTER ANSWERING No. Mark the last confirmed position and current uncertainty. Do not turn a communications failure into an invented casualty report. ———————————————————————————————————————————————— SOURCE AND EDITION Academy Ordinance /academy/archives/academy-ordinance Governs instruction, individual assessment, conduct and review.
