The range on the default Type 9, in Gamma 2.0, is less than 8LY.  Even with an A6 FSD (best you can get) you won't normally get above 20LY range, even with all D's equipped for less weight.

Also, the yaw and pitch rate are higher than the roll rate. (!) This is completely different than any other ship in the game, and should be seriously considered before buying one.  I don't know if it's broken/bugged, but it sure feels like it.

The A7 Thruster is 51.3MCR (67% of the cost of an ENTIRE Type 9), and it still wallows like a pregnant whale on Valium.  Not a good ship, and it's difficult to justify the cargo space, given the atrocious handling while flying.  Also, it's the only ship I've seen in the game so far where your handling in supercruise is SLOWER and LESS RESPONSIVE than in normal space.  With most ships, while in supercruise you're positively agile; not so in the Type 9.
