Loaner Ship Matrix

There are a couple of points to note about this list:

• The concept of "ship loaners" was introduced to allow players who owned a game package and a single ship to play the game when that ship was unavailable. The loaners for each ship are not intended to be a 1:1 "best case substitute" for the ship that isn't flight ready.
  
  
  
• The presence of a valid game package is required for loaners to be granted to an account.
  
  
  
• If a new ship becomes Flight Ready and is a better substitute, the loaner will be updated.
  
  
  
• Due to the current restrictions in Arena Commander, certain ships have a secondary loaner to allow them to play in all game modes. 
  Example: Arrastra owners receive an Anvil Arrow for use in Arena Commander play modes.
  
  
  
• These are not permanent additions to your fleet (unless it is an Included Vessel). Once a ship on this list is Flight Ready, the loaner will be replaced by the ship you purchased and removed from this thread.
  
  
  
• Loaners will not stack.  You will never receive more than one of each loaner ship, regardless of how many are allocated based on the ships in your hanger.  
  Example: Owning four Pioneers will not grant four Caterpillars.
  
  
  
• Something to bear in mind: if you have multiple concept ships that grant the same loaner you will only receive 1 loaner for them all. 
  Example: If you own a Cyclone and a Dragonfly, you will only receive one Aurora MR as the loaner.
  

Known Issues:
2025-03-31 - Temporary Prospector loaners are being provided to the Arrastra, Mole, and Orion due to issues with the mining game loop.
