The Camara is comparable to a flying pencil. I had a bit of trouble hitting one when in my Arrow, even. Mind that defense isn't really a concern in a freighter like that. Most people will just let it pass.
Though, speaking of that, a bunch of us with the ... uh... unusual names did try to get you earlier. We've been 'joke-pirating' (a few people have experienced it by now). I would really advise just cutting your engines if a pirate does try to stop you. Had we been interested in taking something off you (no-one really should be.... it was just a teensy ship), we'd have blasted you as you flew past. =P
Unless you have a specific purpose in mind I would go with whichever strikes you as more aesthetically pleasing, the overall difference in utility is pretty slight for freighters.
personally i prefer the dromedary to the camara cos its all vanilla-ish and looks COOL!!!

Yeah, I wasn't really sure what you were up to, but I wasn't going to stick around, haha. When I get stopped again I'll take your advice, thanks
Thanks for the input guys, I'll probably go with the Camara
Camara, it served me well and has a small profile, giving you a chance against high power NPC's, and CD's.
Well , the pencil ( Camara) was the one I used when I first started. But back then the Dromedary was still on its crappy vanilla stats, so ... yeah , I have no idea which one is best now...
The camara is much more usefull, especially with all the defense and small profile (And it's cheeeeaper!)
First time around get a Camara as its a damn fine ship. Very friendly for beginners & a great advert to pirates who want an easy mark. Only kidding.
I'll never fly one again as its wrong for my RP & I'll never work for Deep Space Engineering, unless its to rip off their payroll.

Camara

Dromedary

The Camara has slightly less cargo space, but has alot of defense. The Dromedary has slightly more cargo space, can fit class 8 weapons, but has much less defense than the Camara and costs a bit more. Which one should I get?
Don't they both suck? Why not get a proper transport? Well I'm sure theres folks willing to help newbies out. You want to trade, join a trade corp they will set ye up.
