Ships Finally my heavy Transport ship

[Priko Phobomanic]

Hello fellow Commanders!

I want to anounce that after weeks of hard trading work i was able to purchase my Lakon Type-9 heavy.



When I got it, of course I had to do a tesflight.



Then i thought a have to fly it into an asteroid belt and there i made a really awesome screenshot.




At least i want to show you my fitting.



Would be nice if you could give me some feedback to my fitting.

Best regarts and whishes

Cmdr. Priko Phobomanic

Congratulations.
Not that long ago I purchased one myself and was pleasantly surprised by how it handled. She is a big lady and moves accordingly, but also elegantly and docking her is a breeze.

I even put turrets on my T9 and use her for bounty hunting in standard USS. It is unusual and perhaps a tad crazy, but great fun.

Depending on where you are I'd swap the shields and powerplant out and stick a docking computer in.

If I had a T9 I'd be trading in a backwater place somewhere with a good route where other CMDR's are almost non-existent, against AI you take minimum hull damage anyway and the extra cargo will be nice.
Docking computers also getting a boost in 1.3 so will allow you to dock and undock without damaging hull (no shields).

Up to you though, at first doing Conda trading without shields was too odd for me and I had to have some on because it felt too weird.
