While having less cargo space than some of the Trains, the Heavy Tanker is irreplaceable for carrying bulky cargo. Having a single large cargo bay instead of multiple cargo pods, this ship is capable of carrying capital ship hull components and space station modules. Reinforced hull provides additional protection against possible pirate attacks.
Handling
- This ship is too large to use docking bays, it must use mooring points.
- Turns 360° in 37 seconds (Turn Speed = 0.1698 radians per second)

Review
The Heavy Tanker is an admirable ship that most can't deny is good value for money. It's very reliable, probably one of the most reliable transports on the market today. It may not stand a chance against most pirates who are armed as you'd expect these days but it can give them a run for their money literally. The rear engines do make it vulnerable to less advanced disruptors but its armor rating is so high that it can withstand a lot more punishment than most other shipping vessels. A disappointing six turrets are enough to fend of some pesky rookies but it's still more than most ships with a hold of its size. The maneuverability of this brick is surprisingly slow; all that armor has punished it severely with a turning circle of 35-40 seconds. But luckily due to it's reduced size it doesn't get as bad a rating as the Advanced Train for getting caught up in asteroid fields.

Edition 1#: The Heavy Tanker The Heavy Tanker, The Titanic, or simply "woah" when a newbie pulls up next to you when you emerge from a jumpgate. It's big, it's bulky, but it's a beauty. As you may of noticed, it is a rather large ship, not the largest, certainly not, but still large, meaning it does have quite bad maneuverability, it has a huge turning circle time of 35-40 seconds, and generally just feels sluggish. The distance between the two ends of the ship and the positioning of the turrets at these ends does make aiming quite hard if your not an extremely skilled gunner, so I suggest mounting some high refire rate weapons. So you atleast have a chance of hitting smaller ships like fighters. But if you go against other large ships such as transports, the amount of armour this thing hauls should give you a fair chance.
