Description: Derived from the ancient Imperial II-class frigate, and build in response to the TL-6000 super freighter in an attempt to address the main flaws of the ship, the Maersk-class bulk freighter marks a stark departure from traditional Ringovinda StarYards construction of building elongated main hulls, thanks to the contribution of the "landing gear lady", who was the lead designer of the seven landing gears used for the ship to be able to land on the surface of planets. With its tensor field generator and inertial compensator, the Maersk-class bulk freighter can preserve the integrity of the cargo so long as the ship survives. Thanks to its internal modularity, the Maersk-class bulk freighter can be used as a tanker or as a starliner and be fully converted from one to the other in twelve hours.
Consumables: 6 months (pure starliner configuration) - 1 year (stock configuration) - 6 years (pure freight configuration)
Cargo: 0 tons (pure starliner configuration) - 50,000 tons (stock configuration) - 300,000 tons (pure freight configuration)
Passengers: 0 (pure freight configuration) - 4,400 (stock configuration) - 5,300 (pure starliner configuration)
Crew complement: 20 (skeleton)/140 (optimal)
Development Thread: No
Intent: To provide with a bulk freighter that can land on planets
Who Can Use This: Anyone
