Okay, so I am going to make an unlawful Freelancer

[AdamantineFist]

RT is IMG's ship for the Black market, and Sabre is universal.

RT is black market, civilian market, whatever you want, really. Civilians can use it just as much as pirates can. I should know, since I wrote the infocard on the dang thing...;)

As to the Sabre, while I strongly agree with Kurosora on it, some people disagree with us. Just remember that the 'sairs are likely to look at you suspiciously at the least. Oh, and you'll probably be expected to keep neutral to friendly rep with at least one faction that sells it (Bundschuh might be a good bet, as they're neutral in the OC-'sair war).

The Charon appears to be much the same as the RT as far as the market goes. As it is expressly described as a civilian vessel, I don't see any problems with you managing to acquire one for your own use.

The Crow also makes a good semi-unlawful freelancing vessel, though it's a HF, not a VHF. Still, if you're not too picky about ship class, it's a decent ship.
