The Heavy Lifter is a straight honest up front ship. It does what is says on the can and its function falls right in line with it. There's not much to be said about this freighter apart from the fact it has magnificent handling, a disappointing cargo hold for its size and an expected number of turret mounts for a ship of its design. This ship was not designed for trading but for "Moving cargo of all types between transports, trains and bases". So basically it's a ship designed for loading and unloading transports and trains, that’s when they reach their mooring points. So sadly it can’t do much else, but it is designed for companies that would require such a vessel. To sweeten the deal, five Type 4 Transport Turrets are thrown in for you to mount onto it, this is probably a promotional factor to draw the attention away from its low 750 cargo hold, but is a pro nonetheless. This ship was only meant for heavy shipping industries that would find themselves needing it, so only factions such as DSE, Daumann, Samura, Kishiro, Ageira, BMM, EFL, IDF, The GMG and possibly Kruger and the IMG. I strictly advise you don’t use this ship for trading or shipping of any kind, it was never designed for that and by doing so will probably raise a few eyebrows as well as the price of it’s warranty. I can see it being used for short distance trading however, for small profits. It’s a ship of few functions, but that doesn’t mean its useless.
