I won't beat around the bush. I'm poor. Very poor. And I'm stuck at Yanagi after some Corsairs chased me all over Sigma 13 in my gaffertaped X-Shuttle. They blew my ship up as I was docking. Damn pirates! chasing a poor junker around like that. Story of my life though...
Now, I have little money left. But I saw you guys have some , eh, 'budget ships' here. My eye fell on a Bulldog. I saw one being prepped by a fellow junker. Well, actually, a dead junker. I asked him some questions about the ship as he was lying underneath it. I thought he was doing maintenace. Turned out he was, but a fuel leak made him drink more MOX than he could stomach.
As I dragged his bloated form away from under the ship, I saw the craftsmanship: gaffertape, glue, paperclips and, I'm honest to Eris, nails.
I was sold. So here I am, I'd like to buy the Bulldog and do the last maintenance myself. it's not like its former owner needs it anymore. I think he's in a corsair stew now.
I'll be using the ship to get some work done against those corsairs and those Xenos who chased me out of Liberty in the first place. Earn some money an' all that.

A dead Junker is a very poor source of information. You should have found someone who could tell you the straight truth. Yes, the bulldog is a bargain basement ship to some. And by some I mean those who are foolish enough to climb into that flying bomb for the purpose of defending Yanagi from Das Wilde. You don't exactly seem like one of those. Especially if you had your hind quarters handed to you by a few Corsairs. In that case, just how would you handle the Wilde? Since you don't seem very interested in joining the Yanagi Defense Force, what reason do I have to grant your request?
My rear quarters were handed to me because I was first being chased by Xenos, then the RFP and then Corsairs were the finishing touch. Quite litterally. Only so much my old shuttle good takeC.. With regards to the whole 'flying bomb' thing; I think I should be fine. It looks like proper Junker crafstmanship. And I simply don't have the money anymore to buy something else. I'm stuck here.
Joining the Yanagi defense force is not my ultimate goal. What I need is a budget ship that can at least offer me the chance to get back at some corsairs and Xenos. And maybe earn some money in the process. I was hoping you'd be good enough to help a fellow (ex)junker out here.
