Description: MandalMotors' answer to the rugged life of the average Mercenary and Bounty Hunter. A fighter-transport unlike any by MandalMotors before, this shuttle was designed from the ground up to be fast enough to catch even the slipperiest smuggler on the run while packing enough fire power to make small capital ships loath the idea of taking it on one on one. A wildly different design than usual when it comes to performance shuttles from MandalMotors, the fighter freighter hybrid with a quick hyperdrive does come with its faults.

Its hull is entirely made from Durasteel. Though...durable, its near full durasteel construction leaves much to be desired in build quality and the almost forced nature of the 500 Series Hyperdrive sometimes forces users to rely on hyperspace rings and keep the 500 series around for a quick getaway. It also lacks the modularity commonly seen in the AP-series ships and shuttles leaving much to be desired unless one was willing to jerryrig things to the ship or take things away and making the ship uglier than it already was.

Development Thread: N/A

Intent: To explode onto the market after a long hiatus and to wet my feet in this new ship format

For its size, please increase all speed and maneuverability ratings by one.

Changed size, 5 speed rating is way too low for what is basically a medium-heavy freighter [member="Raziel"]

Please see: http://starwarsrp.net/topic/39240-ship-speed-chart/

For a rough guide. Speed 4 is a bomber and very light freighter.

3/2 would be a fast fighter.
