The Lodestar is a single-crew vehicle that can lift and carry any ground vehicle quickly and smoothly to a desired location.
To load a vehicle into the Lodestar, simply drive the vehicle near the Lodestar, atop the mounting circle provided for vehicles, and then hit "G to enter". The Lodestar will grab your vehicle automatically and the pilot will take over from there. The main bay of the Lodestar seals shut with a force shield when moving to protect its cargo from damage while it is in transit.
To release your vehicle from the Lodestar, you can either hit ALT+G to dismount (which will bail your vehicle out of the Lodestar's grip if the Lodestar is flying at the time), or the pilot can release you by clicking the appropriate button on the Vehicles Permission screen.
When the Lodestar is landed on the ground, it acts as a repair/rearm pad for all vehicles. The Lodestar can do this as long as it is intact and landed. Lodestars in motion do not provide repair/rearm functionality.
NOTE: The Lodestar can carry the Router, but the Router must drive sideways (strafe) into the Lodestar vehicle bay. This was done to keep the Lodestar's AA profile as skinny as possible.
