Built to endure and thrive in the harshness of the frontier, the DL series borderworld transport thrives in the corners of space where the safe delivery of essential supplies can spell the difference between life and death. Heavily armed and armored with a generous cargo bay, the commonly sold craft holds a softspot in the hearts of traders of all stripes and affiliations. From the burning orbs of the Omegas to the soft hues of Omicron Alpha to the mooring points of Newark Station, this is the ship of choice for the discerning Freelancer.

Handling

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

Outdated Review (4.86)

Review (4.86) The Border Worlds Transport is a true legend amongst Sirius traders. It's unlimited availability and reliability is unique and not found in any other ship in the same line. A Generous nine Class 4 Turrets cover the space around the ship from all angles giving away no weak spots for your average pirate to attack. A decent cargo hold of 3500 equally measured with a unique handling that I’ve never seen before in any other ship. The turning on the Border Worlds Transport is slow but it's all expected from a ship of its size, the handling is perfectly measured to match the ship in my opinion. Again the dagger cockpit view is used perfectly matching its nature. A class seven shield outlet and countermeasure slot comes as standard with an up front payment of 42 million. But what truly makes the ship stand out is its astonishing armor rating compared to its size. Any pirate or policeman would take a few bites out of this thing and more before even causing anything near critical damage. A leading ship of its kind in the ship dealing market today, it's still underestimated by even the veterans of Sirius' pilots.

Outdated Review (4.86)

Review (4.86) There are a lot of good trasporter, armed transporters and trains in sirius but I perfer the Border Worlds Transport to each other transporter, because everyone can fly it. With its 3500 cargo room it can be used Freelancer, lawfull and unlawull. The fireing is not bad, but this transporter cannot kill many ships. If you be a Zoner or a Freelancer you should use this transporter because it is the best yo can get with you ID (If you have a Zoner ID you can only dock on Zoner station and some more, so that you cannot trade with everyone).

Outdated Review (4.86)

Review (4.86) Don't let the stats deceive you, it fires only 4 turrets forwards, 4 turrets backwards, and 7 turrets to the sides, making it very effective at fighting enemies on the sides which are easier for them to hit, but ineffective at firing forwards or backwards. Still, for a price-tag of only 40 million, it has a decent amount of cargo and can still fight reasonably well as it is smaller and faster than most transports with its amount of cargo space, and its amount of weapons firing in each direction is about average for a ship of its size. It's certainly the best a freelancer could get, with more firepower than the firefly. Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Review by TLI-Inferno
