I was certainly under the impression, as a member of Kishiro| , that this is a Kusari Civillian ship. I hope I'm proven right, as this is my only Kishiro ship and it would be a pain to get a different one.
Discuss!

Quote:Price: 80614750 - T-482-T "Kujira" GMG Transport
The venerable "Whale" class of transport was designed under a construction philosophy based upon the conservation of scarce mineral resources, originally designed in a more peaceful age with intent to transport refined H-Fuel to the four houses.
The ultra efficient transport vessel has received wide demand from modern day trading markets, rewarding the GMG's new business partners, Kishiro, an acclaimed addition to their shipbuilding queues, and Samura with a sore spot in its portfolio.
Agile, compact and containing one of the greatest cargo capacities in the Sirius sector within a deceptively sturdy hull the vessel nevertheless comes at a price. Virtually all defensive capabilities have been sacrificed to enable the luxuries afforded by the vessel leaving her eminently vulnerable to inter colonial piracy.
This ship is equipped with the basic tools required to glean an additional yield from harvested alien organisms, especially when coupled with specially tuned mining equipment.
Well that is a tough one.
It does clearly state it as a GMG vessel, but it also state that Kishiro builds it.
Now we can say that just because someone builds it does not mean that they can fly it, after all Samura can't fly Kusari Battleships.
If I were you, I would send a quick communication over to GMG and get permission, it shouldn't be too difficult for you.
Atleast that way you are covered no matter what.
Personally I would be under the impression that Kishiro would of made sure that it was stipulated in the contract that they could use the design also.
But that is just me.
Actually just had a look in game myself.
You are right, there is nothing there say it is a GMG vessel.
As it stands so far I can see no way for you to get in trouble with that ship.
Basically it was explained to me that Kishiro makes them for GMG and whoever GMG wants to sell them to they can.
Seeing as the entire thing with the Kusari - GMG was extremely exhausting I didn't even want to bother with ship licensing. But yeah, everyone flying a Kujira atm who's not Kishiro ID can thank the gods for that, because my idea was to restrict them completely and offer them only for those that can offer something back / and few at Kishiro Expo.
and as for Peter's question - yes, every Kusari civilian can fly one.
Kishiro and GMG are good and there's no reason for GMG to limit their use of the ships to it's creators.
