To be honest I wanted to stay as far as possible from the old X Shuttle infocard as it made very specific points about what the ship could do plus that bit about an atmospheric flight module made me shudder. If the design had wings then I'd gladly make the addition but as it stands the Tranquility is only for spaceflight, however I could add something about being able to collect small amounts of fuel with the scoops.

The old infocard was not that bad, and it probably influenced a lot of rp, with the bit about living space. If you use some of it you will ensure continuity.

I'll take the RP ramifications into consideration, maybe an addition below the last paragraph going into a bit of detail about how the ship is being used etc.

It looks like the Barge married the Hegamon and had this child.
Nevertheless, it's a helluva nice ship to fly!
Great model! Thumbs up!

Slightly updated Tranquility infocard with suggested addition.
Tranquility
Conceived in Bretonia during the onset of the Gallic Invasion, the Tranquility class freighter began life as a testbed for a new construction technique based upon prefabricated modules. The concept was to create a mass producible ship that would be inexpensive to manufacture and easily maintainable. However resource constraints meant that only scrap and recycled metal was readily available, this forced the designers to alter the ship’s design to accommodate for the lack of premium materials. The result was a strong fighter style hull which represents quite a departure from standard freighter designs.
The overall project was considered a rousing success despite the ship being deemed unsuitable for the purpose. Disappointed but spurred on, the creators of the Tranquility quietly sold off several copies of the blueprints and began drawing up plans for a much larger vessel.
Once on the open market, owners and crews of Tranquility freighters immediately made use of the modular systems, modifying the ship and its interior to suit their needs with variants ranging from planetary surveying and exploration to short range passenger ferries and even mobile homes.

Yh, thanks for the brainstorm guys, and special thanks to Croft for all the effort!
