Shuttle

The Rendelli StarDrive Model 805R cargo shuttle is perhaps the least glamorous, but also the most versatile, of all starships. Its diminutive size and low cost make it popular with the smaller shipping firms and charter services, and it makes a good courier ship as well. Its boxy appearance belies its rugged and durable construction. This sturdy little vessel is found virtually everywhere in the galaxy.

Scoutship

Krydanti Systems' Mk. XVII scoutship is used primarily by mining corporations and entrepreneurs to seek out new mineral deposits. It is also a fairly decent courier ship, though its light armament poses a serious disadvantage in a fight. Its main selling point is its extremely long range.

Executive Transport

Forward-thinking executives of the galaxy's top corporations use the Krydanti Systems Mk. VI executive transport for their business needs. It enables its wealthy passengers to travel quickly in style and comfort, though admittedly without any defensive armament.

Courier

If you're looking to get your large cargo to its destination as quickly as possible, look no further than the Metroworks V7 courier. It is essentially nothing more than a triad of large engines with a cargo bay and a life-support pod attached. A testament to this ship's high speed, long range, and great reliability is the fact that Starbound Express uses them for nearly 95% of its domestic cargo routes.

Speed: 250 AU/h Accel: 155 Turn: 120°/sec Shields: 15u Charge: 0.15u/sec Armor: 25u Guns: 2 (max) Turrets: 1 (max)

Clipper

Aerostar Space Industries' assembly lines are mainly devoted to producing starship subassemblies for other manufacturers, but their C-35 Star Clipper Mk. IV is their most widely-recognized product. This sleek, delta-winged ship is a combination courier vessel and light warship, and excels in both roles. Its offensive and defensive capabilities are quite good for a ship of its size, and it has ample room for expansion that allows it to be turned into either a top-flight cargo hauler or an outstanding heavy fighter.

Speed: 300 AU/h Accel: 140 Turn: 90°/sec Shields: 30u Charge: 0.3u/sec Armor: 20u Guns: 4 (max) Turrets: 1 (max)
