With the economic foundation of Sirius firmly built on Liberty's commercial interests, the Rhino certainly lives up to its name. The vast cargo hold is the hallmark of this impressive beast, surrounded by doubly reinforced structure and protective armor hull. This and the advanced weapon system make the Rhino a force to be reckoned with.

The Rhino has been upgraded to no longer be a "Tier 1" ship. It now boasts a turn rate which is slightly faster than other freighters, along with the same small size from before.
The Rhino has been upgraded to no longer be a "Tier 1" ship. It now boasts a turn rate which is slightly faster than other freighters, along with the same small size from before.
All of its turret slots are now heavy fighter turret slots. Of its 5 turrets, 4 fire forwards, left, and backwards, and 3 fire upwards, downwards, and to the right. It also has 2 class 9 gun slots and a missile slot. It supports these weapons with a 33k power core which can effectively sustain its fire as long as you use a missile and not a gun in the class 10 slot.
Its hull is still fairly low for a freighter, but it balances its survivability by being very maneuverable.Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination

Oh the Rhino...This is the ship that nearly everyone in space has flown at least once. The Rhino is the most basic freighter in the game, and is usually the second ship one picks, and with good reason. Very very cheap, only a bit more than 20,000 credits. Anyone can buy a Rhino after two or three cargo loads of Helium. For her price, you get your hands on a nice cargo bay of 225, enough to actually start some serious trading. Although, most pilots stick to mining so long as they have the Rhino, usually upgrading to a Camara later. Her 5 turrets are not that powerful, but they are enough to shoo away any low level pirate ships in Liberty. However, exiting Liberty, pirate ships become far too powerful for this most modest of ships to handle. Luckily though, her Liberty affiliation will usually not cause much trouble. This ship is rarely seen outside of Liberty, and outside of Civilian hands. Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Review by Kikatsu |
