In the economy of the Sirius system, all of the Houses benefit from the everyday service of this craft. being one the first modern commercial transport class ships designed, while no one house has been credited the very basic design, but without its creation, it is widely known that Sirius today would be a very different place. Having two Cargo Pods in its underbelly, the Transport's design is based solely on function. Not a flashy ship, the Gull is the mainstay of every shipping corporation within Sirius.

Handling

• This ship is too large to use docking bays, it must use mooring points.

Review without version number

Review The CT-49X is usually one of the 'go to' vessels when players finally decide to take the step up from the small freighters to the transports. Although its value for money isn't special, the price does make it the cheapest transport class ship available in Sirius today. For just over 6.7 million credits you get a standard five Type 4 Transport Turrets and an extremely powerful shield mount that can mount class 7 shields ranging to a maximum capacity of a staggering 100000. However, a few in flight flaws make it a bit of a nuisance when observing at turret view or fending off pirates. Its long chassis can restrict the 3rd person angle to a certain extent and a large portion of your view tends to disappear behind it. When in a typical situation of pirating occurs the Gull can make quite a decent getaway car if the person at the wheel is awake, but is almost hopeless in fending off anything bigger than a light fighter.
