One of Kusari's first major shipping projects; the Bumblebee proved a resounding success that has kept her shipyards gainfully employed for centuries. Efficient engines, comfortable crew appointments and overpowered maneuvering thrusters provide the vessel with unparalleled speed and agility for her weight class.

The mainstay of small Kusarian shipping firms and freelancers looking to sample a ship of a more exotic flair, the Bumblebee has become a common sight of the trade lanes of all four houses.

Handling

• This ship is too large to use docking bays, it must use mooring points.
• Agile, for a transport
• 8 seconds per 360 degree turn
• Dodging is quite difficult but not impossible

Review without version number

Review The Bumblebee is the natural first transport for any budding trader serious about upgrading their delivery capability. Its maneuverability is clearly inferior to a freighter, but that is what can be expected from a ship with a cargo hold almost three times larger than the largest freighter (Camara/Dromedary). Maneuverability set aside, the firepower mustered is standard for a ship of this class. Of the five turret mounts, four are towards the rear of the ship offering clear rear-gunning and getaway options. The Kishiro transport offering is clearly focused on maximizing value, providing the best cargo space return per credit spent in this class by a long way. The ratio of 3,600Cr per cargo slot makes it the obvious choice for the financially astute investor. Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Review by Halogen
