Overview
The largest of the freighters produced in Indepedent shipyards, the Boa Cruiser is the Anaconda's big brother. It is is large enough to buy a starports stock out in several items and make a fortune in. A rich mans vessel, it comes with a rich mans price tag.
Notable Features
The Boa looks exactly like an Anaconda, only bigger. It has the same shape and dimensions, just to a larger scale. Despite the increase in weight, it actually has superior acceleration. It also has two turrent gun mountings, which make fighting opponents considerably easier when using such a large vessel. Another interesting fact: The Boa only requires two more crew over an Anaconda, despite being double the weight.
Disadvantages
The Boa comes standard with a class 8 hyperdrive. These are hard-installed in the ship and cannot be uninstalled by regular shipyards. Class 8 drives cannot be purchased either, so any pilot has to make sure they constantly service their engines - because they will be in trouble if it fails.
Verdict
A large, subtly beautiful ship. It is one of the finest large freighters available, lacking pure size in comparison to the Griffin Carrier but making up for it in style and technology. The Boa will make a fine freighter ship, but little else - certainly not an assasins ship!
