Do you think the retaliator will be an effective trade and industry ship

[pilot-john]

Nope.  But, it will look awesome and be cooler.  'Looks ya'll I am taking my kids to school in a LAMBO...takes 3 trips but hey, dont hate the player."  I strongly endorse the Javelin for premire transport duty as well

The javelin would be terrible. Use an M50, haul that cargo one briefcase at a time.......

Tali should not be a primary trade vessel for the simple reason that it was built to be a warship. Sure, it may be able to effectively carry light loads of highly valuable items, but due to the nature of these missions they will be few and far between.

 

For $150 the Taurus is a steal (1900 freight units). For $250 the Banu Merchant Man is a highly effective hauler (6000 freight units). The Starfarer is also a great option, and is necessary if you want to really get into the fuel trade.

I fell for the Taurus. Then I saw the MM and started lighting my money on fire for that. Too bad the MM will probably be modeled after the game is released. #mostneglectedstarship

The Retaliator as a smuggler ship, definitely. But as anything else besides it's original intended functions, no.
