THE ASP IS WAY BETTER! just kidding, reading those comments, that person is what any good community calls 'toxic'. An honest review of this ship now: This ship is the cheapest heavy hauler, in that it's the first ship you can afford that carries over 250 tons, It's a bit pricy compared to an asp, that's true, but with a decent route it's an early-mid-game money printer. If you are looking to make maximum credits, as early as possible, throwing all else away to do so, there is no other choice.
If you are REALLY that worried about piracy, but don't wanna end up sacraficing a large chunk of your profit, you'll want to trade in impirial space exclusively for awhile in what I would assume to be an asp/type6, and occasionally check the mission board for a data/cargo delivery mission for naval intelligence. You will raise imperial rank as you go, eventually allowing you to buy an imperial clipper, which has essentially the same cargo capacity, but also strong weapons and shields.This does take a bit longer, but it does work.
All that is IF evading player piracy is a concern, keep in mind that, at least in my experience, it's not nearly as common as asp kid would lead you to believe. You can get the type7 faster, and cheaper than a clipper, and it offers the same trade potential, as for "kitted asp vs stock type7" Why do you compare an upgraded vehicle to one with ZERO upgrades in the first place? just saying.... All in all, if maximizing credits per hour is all that matters, this and the clipper are the tier just below the type9, which is an endgame trade ship, along with the cutter (with shield& docking computer, the difference between those 2 is just appearance preferance and rebuy cost/defense, but that's another story) I've used all these ships intensively for trade, currently in a cutter Hope this honest review helps, Good Trading Commanders!o7
