Developed by Kishiro Technologies, the Bumblebee combines large cargo hold with perfect agility and speed. Popular among Kusari merchants and freelancers, this transport ship is often used for long distance trading with other major Houses.

Handling

  • Agile, for a transport
  • 8 seconds per 360 degree turn
  • Dodging is quite difficult but not impossible


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. Of the five turret mounts, four are towards the rear of the ship 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.
