I tried it all last night, I liked it all around, but yes you have to /stuck for most lanes.
Make sure you have the trade lane you're docking on selected when you type /stuck and it centers you, gets you going first try most of the time.
Still though this is now a very useful multi-role ship that could be used for a bunch of different purposes. This is the type of ship I'd expect to be put to use by smaller factions that don't have cruisers, or anything above a cruiser, to augment their fleets. Technically with enough of them with the right loadout and armor, you could siege up to a core 3 reasonably.
I wasn't gonna say it first but I wouldn't mind seeing it get a CD and maybe one or two cruiser turret slots. With the current rule, the option to leave off a CD is always there.
i do agree with the gunboat turrests. I parked next to a ZBT yesterday ... kudos to Dreamfall ... to compare sizes and ... the Dunlin is way too big. Next to the ZBT, the Dunlin is like a big fat suv, and the ZBT a compact car! So i like a lot the shield upgrad but some fire power extra would be nice, since the ship is really big, and it is not asking much since the Raba, if it wasn't changed, and the salvager are way smaller and have those gunboat turrets
Yah, should have some GB primaries, for sure. At least 4-6 turrets, and rest can be just transport ones, for example. But not sure about GB heavies, tbh, just bcus it has harmonic.
Now known as the Retrofit Explorer (or the Newport Frigate if your searching the data files).
Its had a tweak in the last patch and now handles much better. Definitely worth the Credits.
Its one of the most unique ship in Sirius with a Cruiser boost shield, inbuit thrusters and two class 5 gun slots for Heavy Transport turrets.
Every self respecting Civilian will want one for those trips to the outer systems.
Thanks aerelm.
So strictly based off cargo cap, this ship is off limits for Pirate Id right? A real shame, seems like an oversight, it would've filled a good niche for RP

Yeah you could still use it but it has no CD. Still though you can mount a DM and use it as a mini base ship. (Does anyone know if they count using a DM as pvp death? I can't find it anywhere)
Usage of DM mid-combat is the same as docking an NPC base or POB, hence its counted as PVP dead. I think it was stated in clarification thread, if you can bother with searching
