The Heavy Lifter, originally developed for atmospheric deliveries and planet-to-station transfers, carries immensely powerful engines in order to remain aloft within a planet's gravity. To do this, cargo space and armor had to be sacrificed. Despite this, it has inexplicably become a popular ship among startup transport captains, likely due to its reliability and inexpensive maintenance.

{{Review|[[Chad Jones]]|The Heavy Lifter is a straight honest up front ship. It does what is says on the can and its function falls right in line with it. There's not much to be said about this freighter apart from the fact it has magnificent handling, a disappointing cargo hold for its size and an expected number of turret mounts for a ship of its design. This ship was not designed for trading but for "Moving cargo of all types between transports, trains and bases". So basically it's a ship designed for loading and unloading transports and trains, that's when they reach their mooring points. So sadly it can't do much else, but it ''is'' designed for companies that would require such a vessel.

DSCore: Hercules

The Base Construction Platform contains specialist nano manufacturing and assembly equipment to construct and deploy the core components of a base. To construct a base, Polymers, industrial goods, Basic and Super Alloys, Optronics, Cryocubes and Nuclear Devices are required. Once the base core is deployed conventional base construction using personnel on board the base can begin.

Handling

  • This ship is too large to use docking bays, it must use mooring points.
