In my early original Elite days I remember blowing these things just to get the metal alloys (Im talkin 2 shots from a pulse laser here) so I was a bit unsure how good it would be. But the Transporter is actually quite a nice ship. It is one of the smallest ships with a turret but yet there is a comfy amount of room for most things you want. Although not fantastically manouverable the transporter is alright and should get you out of most fights you have. Although the Transporter is a bit of an eye-sore it's design has stood the test of time, being originally used in the solar system between Mars and Earth it was later fitted with a Hyperdrive to reach out beyond the stars.

Although it says you should have a fuel scoop you cant fit one.

Rating: 8/10 RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT: Hey treat yourself and get a Class 3 military drive at your nearest dealer
