DSE-720 "Camara" Civilian Freighter

Built by Deep Space Engineering as an answer to moving goods through trouble, the Camara is a wonderful little transport of its own design. The ship has a generous cargo hold, and a rather unique shape for simply slipping through asteroids or whatever else might be in the way.

The Camara was originally a DSE exclusive, but the popularity of the model found it in strong demand by independent contractors across the colonies where the model found strong appreciation in Rheinland. It has several unique features, such as the center line of turrets to provide maximum coverage on almost all sides. It helps that there are six of them as well, along with a generous power-plant and decent armor. Another feature is the quick loading and unloading pods for quick exchanges with orbiting supply depots.

Handling

• Excellent, 6.2 seconds per 360 degree turn
• Long tubular shape and lack of wings make dodging easy despite its considerable size
• 4 turrets on forward dorsal hull and 2 under the chin; all turrets can fire in a full arc horizontally with limited vertical angles

Review without version number

Review The Camara has slowly grown on all of us throughout the colonies and has finally become known as a good quality freighter for those who have started out in trading for real. Originally built by DSE but luckily released to be bought Siriuswide allows pretty much anyone to fly it. This nifty little hairpin of a ship is everything a small freighter should be. Just under 1.9 million can get you a 630 cargo hold, six Class 5 Turrets, an astonishing 13000 armor rating, a counter measure and a useful Cruise Disruptor/Torpedo slot if you ever feel like pulling any punches. [Editor's Note: As of V4.85.0 there is no longer a CD/T slot] The Camara is so good because it's designed like a fighter, people say it's as hard to hit as an Arrow in some cases; This due to extremely thin and compact shape. There is one downer though that hasn't been told by the dealer. Even though you are equipped for the fight should it ever arise, the maneuverability of it is still that of a heavy freighter. DSE managed to wave their wands and make the size and loadout change but they sadly they couldn’t change the fact that it's a freighter. The best thing about the Camara though has to be that it is so small that Pirates can't see it, catch it or kill it, but that's only if the pilot can use that to his/her advantage.
