What I have built is for cargo and research. I have a large carrier for the landers that will move cargo and equipment planet side.

Function is everything, multi-purposing ' golden '. The cargo containers can be restructured to be used as living quarters and research facilities. Nothing pretty here. Utilitarian and, as is usually the case, craft and equipment built by the lowest bidder. George Lucas with Star Wars and oddly, Serenity, reflect this thinking. Face it, both the Millenium Falcon and the Firefly had seen much better days. However, like a present day trucker, you just keep working and doing what it takes to keep the equipment ' on the road '. Other builds I have done in IW include the Ferret Run. Sadly, this is now gone.
