The Percheron was available on the market for more than 150 years, and gained fame for its reliability even in seemingly hopeless situations. Strong hull, impressive cargo capacity, and advanced power array make this transport a perfect choice for traders heading from Bretonia into the remote and dangerous Border Worlds.

Handling

• This ship is too large to use docking bays, it must use mooring points.

Review without version number

Review Being on a tight budget and looking for a new middle range transport, this ship was indeed what I was looking for in a 12 million budget: a generous cargo space of 2600, great hull and power output, plus the possibility to use a very large shield (Adv. Transport Positron Shield). Percheron controls nicely, has no issues with docking and has a pleasant design. Engines are located below the ship somewhere in the front-middle section, so expect to be disrupted quite a bit. It only has 5 turets, all of them are front firing, only 2-3 protect on laterals and below the ship, but mount 5x Transport Turret Type 4 and you can survive quite nicely against NPC pirates around Sirus. After flying it around for quite some time now, I can say I am quite happy with its commercial performance. Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Review by balta
