Reviews

Unlike its big brothers, the standard train is magnificent in almost every way. The six turrets stretched over the Large and Advanced Trains seem to fit nicely onto the compact chassis of the Standard Train. Its handling surprises you once you launch into space giving you the feel of something a lot smaller and lighter. This ship hasn't a single flaw but its cockpit view, the spider webbed frame of the avenger obscures your window sadly making you wish for a more open windscreen. As standard you get a full set of six Type 4 Transport Turrets for your turret mounts adding sweetness to the bargain of 23 million credits. A countermeasure and a cruise disruptor mount also comes with should you ever need them and it's smallish shape buys you time before any pirates see you to take a detour. The look of the train is very attractive; its multiple decks on the bow of the ship with four colossal customizable cargo pods trailing behind makes it look astounding. The look of the ship really puts into perspective how big space flight really is, and how massive 3000 units of stuff compares to humans.
