Captain's Yacht

Description
Small, affordable Trinium based ship. Basically a miniature corvette.

Credits: 74117
Iron: 1800
Trinium: 5004

Stops on a dime, has enough computer cores to still carry 4 chip upgrades, and has space for 24 crew while using 3 engineers and 4 mechanics. Including two sergeants, this leaves enough room for a captain plus seven 2-man turrets with rookie crews.

I have run this with ten turrets (six auto guns, four front-facing manual fire guns) as a small fighter, or with four auto turrets (top and bottom) and several salvage/mining lasers for industry.

Most exposed surfaces are hull blocks, so you usually don't lose anything important while not deteriorating maneuverability further. It's not the most agile horse in the stables, but with the upgrades, and with turrets galore for such a very small ship, it's a capable scout/explorer or reputation farmer.

Due to the small size and a number of inertia dampeners, pirates/xsotan often miss.

For those just starting out, there is a beginner ship version, the Young Captain's Yacht, consisting only of iron and titanium: http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=972308133
