In the economy of the Sirius sector, all of the Houses benefit from the everyday service of this craft. Being one of the first modern commercial transport class ships designed, while no one house has been credited with the very basic design, but without it's creation, it is widely known that Sirius today would be a very different place. Having two Cargo Pods in it's underbelly, the Transport's design is based solely on function. Not a flashy ship, the Gull is the mainstay of every shipping corporation within Sirius.
Weapons
- 5 Type 4 Class 7 Turrets
Reviews
The CT-49X is usually one of the 'go to' vessels when players finally decide to take the step up from the small freighters to the transports. Although its value for money isn't special, the price does make it the cheapest transport class ship available in Sirius today. For just over 6.7 million credits you get a standard five Class 7 Turrets and an extremely powerful shield mount that can mount class 7 shields ranging to a maximum capacity of a staggering 100000. However, a few in flight flaws make it a bit of a nuisance when observing at turret view or fending off pirates. Its long chassis can restrict the 3rd person angle to a certain extent and a large portion of your view tends to disappear behind it. When in a typical situation of pirating occurs the Gull can make quite a decent getaway car if the person at the wheel is awake, but is almost hopeless in fending off anything bigger than a light fighter.
