A light exploratory vessel, the X11 Deep Space/Atmospheric Shuttlecraft, commonly called the X-Shuttle, incorporates a module for atmospheric flight along with a cruise engine and, on top of its modest bulk cargo module, living space for a family or a decent science team. Because of its combined atmospheric and stellar travel capabilities, it is an ideal vessel for independent local geologic scanning, or surveying operations in distant systems. It has been used extensively to survey planets when the atmosphere prevents their carriers from mapping them in orbit. | A light exploratory vessel, the X11 Deep Space/Atmospheric Shuttlecraft, commonly called the X-Shuttle, incorporates a module for atmospheric flight along with a cruise engine and, on top of its modest bulk cargo module, living space for a family or a decent science team.

I think the Creators of the X-Shuttle were very wrong when they named it a 'Freighter'. They should have named it the smuggler's best friend, for this is the best craft out there for smuggling in moderate size. The X-shuttle handles like a light fighter, often out-turning Hostile with ease. It's 6 foward firing class 8 mounts, mean that if you put the right guns in (E.G vengence MK.IVs) you will out-gun neigh-on everything the same size or smaller than you and what you can't out-gun, you can sure-as-hell out-run. with the ship making 200m/s on thrusters alone. and 400m/s on cruise. and if the guy chasing you puts a CD up your engine, you can keep flying straight and gun 'em down with the three rear mounted turrets. Hell, I remember when I was caught smuggling Cardamine to Manhatten (not very smart, I know but it feches good profits) the Police patrol take me on, and after about 60 seconds are calling for help with 3 out of 5 down. I hear the backup coming and because i'm a smart smuggler, I have a battleship grade radar installed (how IDK.)but still, I see 2 more heavy fighters and a gunboat coming. as I'm not likly to escape, I deal with the wingmen then charge in at the gunboat, swurving this way and that to not get killed, firing all guns at the brutish thing. After about 5 minutes, the gunboat is blowing up very nicely (good fire-works!) and I'm sat, still with my first round of sheilds. Smugglers, if you want a good toy, buy an X-Shuttle.Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Review by Daking457 |
