Comments
The Bumblebee is the natural first transport for any budding trader serious about upgrading their delivery capability. Its maneuvreability is clearly inferiour to a freighter, but that is what can be expected from a ship with a cargo hold almost three times larger than the largest freighter (Camara/Dromedary).
Maneuvreability set aside, the firepower mustered is standard for a ship of this class, with five turret mounts offering clear rear-gunning and getaway options.
The Kishiro transport offering is clearly focussed on maximising value, providing the best cargo space return per credit spent in this class by a long way. The ratio of 3,600Cr per cargo slot makes it the obvious choice for the financially astute investor.
The greatest disadvantage of this ship is its limited docking capabilities, driven by the technologies employed by the Kishiro design group. For example, the Liberty technology employed by the Planet Colorado docking rings are incompatible, rendering all trading in and out of the system inoperable without the assistance of a smaller freighter.
