Igiss, I'm currently testing the Marsflyer. Here's some thoughts:
First of all, wow. Good decision to include this, it's a really polished model. Great ship.
Second, all infocards say that it's an APS Hornet, not a Marsflyer.
Also the tech-dealer infocard says that its max Nanobots is 1000, which should say 100. The normal infocard that appears from the top right game menu is correct and says 100. It appears to have two different infocards.
Also, it doesn't fly like a normal ship. The engine-kill key 'Z' has no effect, meaning it can't fly backwards. It can also dogfight and thrust at a max speed of 325 which is rather fast. Sometimes its cruise engines seem to engage instantly.
Its a rather powerful ship and I think it ought to cost more (happy to pay the difference if I still have it) and maybe be harder to find.
Role-played characters:
daedalus - Liberty Navy
bandersnatch - Ruthless criminal possessed by a (huge) alien
Shredder - Small-time Kusari pirate, looking to join the Blood Dragons

Bug found.
Visiting the equipment dealer at Primus straight after the ship dealer crashes to the desktop. Retested three times. Visiting the equipment dealer first has no problems.

It wouldn't be smart to hit a close range fighter with a high-powered torpedo. You'd also get hit and die by the torp.
It complains about having no engine still.... if it was fixed, what engine should be equipt? As i'm trying to use a Nomad Thruster, but have also tried using a standard engine sold on the same planet as the ship and neither work :(
