Pride class large bulk transport

Saturday, August 8th, 2009

pride

“Don’t like to spend much time planetside, yeah? This boat’ll take you further than most of the others on a full tank — get you from Osiris to Haven without a stop, if the orbits are right. Got more crew room than most other haulers, to boot. If you’re serious about making a living in the long haul business, I can’t hardly recommend a much better ship’n this.”

Osprey class mid-bulk transport

Saturday, August 8th, 2009

osprey

“This bird’s supposed to be a real workhorse, and that twin-tail assembly screams style and class, but the jury’s still out. The flat radome and wide construction let ‘em pack a lot of goodness in a deceptively large space. I hear a lot of good things from those that own ‘em, but frankly, they’re still pretty fresh. If it were me, I take a likin’ to something with a few miles on her, but hey, you want the latest and greatest, who am I to judge?”

Pheidippides class fast courier

Saturday, August 8th, 2009

pheidippides

“This boat has it all. Fairly fast express boat, decent cargo space and a nice sensor package to boot. ‘Course, features like this don’t come cheap. … what did you say you did for a living? Not that it’s any business of mine, but you better be pulling in some good cash to pick up a fine piece of spacefaring technology this sweet young lady. Prices are firm.”

Mantis class heavy hauler

Saturday, August 8th, 2009

mantis“I see you’re staring at those gimbal arms. Yuk all you want, but those arms mean that this big boat can dance somethin’ fierce, especially in tight quarters. Sure, point A to B will take a little longer, but don’t let her girth fool you — she’s nimble. Add the removable rear cargo pod — for a nominal fee, of course — and the ship will recoup the costs with milk runs in no time.”

Hornet class fast courier

Saturday, August 8th, 2009

hornet

“Ah, so you’re not into driving a space truck, and are looking for something with a little more zip in it. Wanting to stay on the move, or just out of sight? Right — none of my businessEither way, this little bird’ll keep you sweet. She’s small, but her engines kick like a mule. No luxurious guest quarters, but she’s great for doing business of the express variety.”

Elefante class homestead transport

Tuesday, August 4th, 2009

elefante

“’The Great White Elephant:’ Slow, and not much armor, and not the greatest in a firefight, but this girl won’t quit fer nothin’. It couldn’t cut it as a colony transport, but the ship holds up so well under pressure that others have found more creative uses for her. Me, I wouldn’t know.”

Drakken class light courier

Tuesday, August 4th, 2009

drakken

“Story behind this boat’s long and, well, storied. But I’ll cut to the chase and say that a Drakken is a pilot’s boat, through and through. From the acceleration-style cockpit down to the fighter-style controls, she’ll balk at bein’ driven like a bus. Find the right pilot, though, and you got yourself one hell of a team. It’s a lovely bird, but she don’t come cheap.”

Dragonfly class mid-bulk transport

Tuesday, August 4th, 2009

dragonfly

“Like versatility, eh? You’ve got good taste. The Dragonfly is a little larger than it’s Firefly cousin, but they got a fair amount in common. It don’t quite have the respectability of the more eponymous Fireflies, but, then again, it ain’t quite got the age or rattles, neither. It’s a dependable, classy — but some might say dull — boat.”

Caravel class large-bulk transport

Tuesday, August 4th, 2009

caravel

“I just barely let this one into my mid-bulk lineup, but I made exception on account of you, since you seem like such a discriminating customer. Some folks’ll throw it into large class, but I can save you a little scrip if I knock it down, seeing how it’s on the fence and all. This boat’s awfully big, but if you’re looking to haul cargo or a load of passengers, it’ll get you there in style.”

Basurero class blockade runner

Sunday, August 2nd, 2009

basurero

“Like flying solo? The Basruero’s about as good a small transport as I ever seen. And I do mean small. Most of the ship’s interior is given over to cargo space, and living accommodations come in second to that. Still, when those engine pods are tucked, the ship’s practically a ghost, making it perfect for whatever skullduggery you may have in mind.”
