From the heart of the Border World’s inspired minds the Dromedary is truly a symbol of the original Freighters; and thanks to recent re-engineering has received a buff that's helped the Dromedary hold a place amongst today’s competing Freighters. For players who like a bit of nostalgia and an essence of the classic olden days with their flight experience, this is definitely a top option for beginning traders. Its availability makes it almost adaptable to any faction and a lot of hefty weapon mounts and armor makes it compatible with any enemies floating around Sirius.

It doesn't have much to offer in terms of combat but due to its sheer size and class only the most desperate of pirates would consider taxing it. Its size has more than one advantage in the aspect that it's hard to spot over long distances, buying you time while the pirates look up the wireframe. Then with its nimble nature you should be able to make a hasty getaway with pirates very unlikely to pursue you in your engine trail. The price is slightly over average for it's stats but is still a decent deal for 2.1 million. A 650 cargo hold, three Class 8 Guns and an additional 5 Class 5 Turrets come standard.

The Dromedary has been reduced as well as buffed in the re-engineering as its maneuverability is greatly sacrificed with all the extra cargo. The turning on the Dromedary is surprisingly slow compared with the original model. However this small blip shouldn't be much of a problem to someone who knows how to avoid threats should the Dromedary ever encounter them.
