Designed by the Liberty Rogues, the Pirate Transport is one of the few transport-class vessels available for unlawful population of Sirius. This ship is too distincitive to be used for smuggling in areas heavily patrolled by police and military. However, the Transport is great choice for smugglers carrying goods from one pirate base to another using dangerous and lengthy routes. Heavy armor and advanced equipment come in handy if the ship is threatened by hostile pirates and bounty hunters alike.
Handling
- This ship is too large to use docking bays, it must use mooring points.

Review (4.85)
The pirate transport truly is a rugged piece of art to fly. You could guess it's flown by pirates from a mile away which is good for sexiness but not for subtlety. It has a decent maneuverability for it's size; it is after all a transport and you expect some weight behind the wheel. However the Liberty Rogues have been generous with the handling, allowing it to outmaneuver a lot of its larger prey. Some of this maneuverability goes into it's capability to pass through the shadows undetected when smuggling and to beat a hasty retreat when discovered. I've flown this thing through Alaska a number of times, even being caught on the odd occasion, only to leave Navy and LSF operatives in a cloud of exhaust fumes while I wove goodbye on my way to Buffalo.
