One of Samura's first major construction projects, the Bumblebee has become a mainstay of Kusari shipping for centuries. Built with strong engines, a generous cargo hold, and enough speed and agility to keep her captain and crew safe in even the most dangerous situations. While built by Samura, the Bumblebee is sold on the open commercial market, and these ships can be seen in the employ of many Kusari pilots, including Kishiro and Renzu.

Handling

• This ship is too large to use docking bays, it must use mooring points.
• 8 seconds per 360 degree turn

Review without version number

Review The Bumblebee is the natural first transport for any budding trader serious about upgrading their delivery capability. Its maneuverability is clearly inferior 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). Maneuverability 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 focused on maximizing 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. Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Review by Halogen

The Bumblebee is a OK ship. But the thing I do not get, Is why spend 7.1 million, when at 10.1 million u can get a mammoth? The mammoth has 400 more cargo and more armor. And it wouldn't be that hard to make 3 million easy if you know what you are doing.

They can both hold 5 class 4 transport turrets, 300 nanobots and Batteries, and have a power output of 35,000.

And just to put another ship in the mix, the IMG Nanga Parbat. It has 45,000 power output, 1800 cargo and more armor than both the bumblebee AND the mammoth. This is a difficult pick for some people, Mammoth is 10 million, bumblebee 7 million and the Nanga Parbat for 7.5 million.

If it were me, I would choose the Mammoth.
