C2 Hercules Starlifter

The C2 Hercules Starlifter is a civilian heavy transport manufactured by Crusader Industries. Utilizing the patented Hercules military-grade spaceframe and expanding cargo capacity, while sacrificing barely any firepower, the C2 has taken the private sector by storm. It has become the industry standard for racing teams, ship dealers and manufacturers, construction orgs, mining corporations, and even large-scale touring entertainment outfits.

Features

 * Cargo: The C2 Hercules can carry an impressive amount to cargo for a crew of just two, with the ability to store up to 696 SCU's of cargo within its hold as well as 672,000K μSCU of internal stowage. And thanks to its front and rear ramps, it also has the ability to carry ground vehicles, including large vehicles like the Nova, Ballista and Spartan.
 * Equipment Stowage: As well as the stowage capacity mention above, the C2 also has dedicated EVA suit lockers and gun racks.
 * Escape Pods: In the circumstance of your ship being close to having a catastrophic failure, Crusader has your back with a set of quick, safe and secure escape pods.
 * Easy Access Components: The ship components can be easily accessed from within the vehicle, allowing you to maintain or repair without the need to go outside the ship.
 * Living Areas: The Starlifter can be a home away from home, thanks to its spacious crew quarters with beds, bathrooms, personal areas and storage. The ship also has a separate crew rest room with seating, kitchen and even a large monitor for watching your favorite vids on the Spectrum.
 * Weapons: With a pair of forward facing pilot controlled Size 5 gun hard-points, which can be discreetly concealed, and a rear facing remote controlled turret that can hold a pair of Size 4 guns, the C2 can hit back hard if required.
