Reviews

The Armored Transport has earned its name amongst trading vessels of Sirius as a tough shell to crack, and an arsenal with rockets attached to it. The armored transport truly is a pleasure to fly, it's formal, corporate appearance makes it seem legitimate and alongside with its reputation; ruthless. Seven turret mounts capable of mounting some of the most advanced transport defense turrets, and two Class 10 Guns are stuffed onto this lump of metal giving it an incredible firepower rating for a ship of its size. Popularly chosen as an armory for some of the popular factions in Sirius, it's almost impenetrable shell proves hard to break.

The interior has an impressive and 800 Cargo hold capacity seems to have been squeezed into every inch of this thing. But all this power comes at a price. Potential maneuverability is severely sacrificed with all that added armor and weaponry; bringing it's turning speed to that of an Albatross. A huge flaw is that when hit by a cruise disruptor renders the ship useless if you've got some power thirsty weaponry; leaving you pretty hopeless against anything that mounts a cruise disruptor and a powerful punch. But the attractive price tag of 3.8 million makes it one of the best bargains in the ship dealing market today.
