A 5000 cargo bay comes at a much cheaper price than 188 million in any of the house super transports. However there are aspects you get with the train that you don’t with the super transports; 8 Customizable cargo pods, included set of [[Class 7 Turrets|Type 4 Transport Turrets]] and bow underside engines. This thing is pretty much hopeless in an encounter with pirates though, the maneuverability takes away any possibility of escape (If they have Train Disruptors), a small handful of turrets covering almost a kilometer of hull renders it's firepower useless, and hardly any extra gadgets to rely on makes it totally useless. But its cargo hold can bring in as much money that does not compare to what some taxes will ask you for, and most pilots would pay it happily.<br/>[[Image:Flavorarrow2.jpg|top]] Review by [[Chad Jones]]</div> | A 5000 cargo bay comes at a much cheaper price than 188 million in any of the house super transports.

Pushing the limit of what was possible; the advanced train has been with us for some time and is imprinted in the minds of many of us as the Traders target. The Advanced train is the only single largest freighter that has a 5000 cargo bay that can still fit into a lane fairly reasonably. The Barge still takes the cake as the top dog, but this is where efficiency and functionality ends in my books. The Advanced train has an astronomical 40-45 second turning circle and a staggering 8 second cruise charge, surpassing the Mastodon and the Kusari Container Transport by far. The advanced train has hit both extremes that I cannot give it a low enough rating for Maneuverability and Price.
