Look, he told us that he needs to avoid contact with any hostile until he fixes his rep. He would need someone to distract the attackers while he is fleeing. He needs escort like the reporters of the frontline... not the same thing, but almost similar. He needs a colleague who could handle his escape. Logical or not?

I agree with the Armored Transport. Able to mount Transport class shields and is still small enough to fit through the densest asteroid fields, plus a decent amount of armor and regen ability. I'm not sure on maneuvering, but it has to be better than the X-Shuttle, right?
The only hitch I can see is if the Freelancer ID allows transports. Maybe I should take a look at one...

The AT has maneuverability somewhere along the same lines as a Spatial. Not quite good enough to actually take on a fighter, but definitely enough to scare them off and also give a gunboat a good fight.
It's so good it's *almost* overpowered. It's also the closest thing the game has to an armored truck, which could also play off as a news van if in hostile territory.

Unlike me, I'm pro at making it look like I actually have an opinion on the topic.
Except in this post.
I'm feeling rebellious.
' Wrote:you have considered the posibility of a random pirate attempting to pirate you since you will be in a transport correct
I have been pirated in my completely unarmed IMG explorer, and that's not exactly a freighter, after beeing requested to photograph their piracy act by some pirates, so that's always a risk.
And people, read the OP's posts. He said camera ship was a no-no.
