While having less cargo space than some of the Trains, the Heavy Tanker is irreplaceable for carrying bulky cargo. Having a single large cargo bay instead of multiple cargo pods, this ship is capable of carrying capital ship hull components and space station modules. Reinforced hull provides additional protection against possible pirate attacks.

Handling

• This ship is too large to use docking bays, it must use mooring points.
• Turns 360° in 37 seconds (Turn Speed = 0.1698 radians per second)

Review without version number

Review The Heavy Tanker is an admirable ship that most can't deny is good value for money. It's very reliable, probably one of the most reliable transports on the market today. It may not stand a chance against most pirates who are armed as you'd expect these days but it can give them a run for their money literally. The rear engines do make it vulnerable to less advanced disruptors but its armor rating is so high that it can withstand a lot more punishment than most other shipping vessels. A disappointing six turrets are enough to fend of some pesky rookies but it's still more than most ships with a hold of its size. The maneuverability of this brick is surprisingly slow; all that armor has punished it severely with a turning circle of 35-40 seconds. But luckily due to it's reduced size it doesn't get as bad a rating as the Advanced Train for getting caught up in asteroid fields. This thing has no problem docking with trade lanes and Jump Gates alike. However, in the details of the description it does list that this ship was designed by lawful factions for lawful pilots, so its availability is restricted. If you want to tighten the net further, then the only factions able to use this ship would be EFL, BMM, Ageira, Daumann and House Militaries. This being that it was said to be designed to transport liquids (Oil & Water) and other solid materials such as Capital Ship Hull Panels (Ship building Factions). But this is very flexible and can be branched out to pretty much every faction except for those unlawful. This ship is the only option 2 if you find yourself not desiring a super transport in particular because of its reliability, quality and amazing price of 115.5 million.
