What is it?
Gameplay Style: RP, Cargo Hauling, Modded Gameplay
Combat Capability: Good
The Astral Engine is a small line of HopeTech ships, designed by us at Eag's Ship Shop, at Ron Hope's request. This particular model, the standard Astral Engine, is a massive cargo hauler: One of the largest and most capable haulers ever manufactured by Hope Town.
We deviated from HopeTech's traditional "space truck" theme, and instead opted to market the Astral Engine as a "space freight train." You should have heard Ron Hope's pitch to the shareholders, "They're freight traiiiinnnnnss!!! Innnn spaaaaace!!"
Featuring some of the largest cargo capacity ever seen in the settled systems for a C-Class vessel, the Astral Engine is capable of hauling around 9000 tons. Made possible by the exclusive experimental Slayton SAL 6830 engines, only available on the Astral Engine.
If you're a heavy hauler looking for a rugged vessel to get your freight from point A to point B and back, and you got the creds, then look no further. It's time to tell your crew to ditch that rusting pile of junk you call a freighter and step on board a brand new Astral Engine today!

*Potential spoiler modules: This ship contains the Slayton SAL-6830 Engines which are an unlock after completing the mission "All That Money Can Buy."
