Light Freighters...which one?

Im in kusari right now during the SP campaign and I think Im going to build up a couple of mil trading till I move on..what should I get, I saw that dromedary at mactan and Ive been wanting it ever since, but the drone at new tokyo seems ok...some feedback would be good, thanks, keep in mind I cant access rhineland yet so no humpback : /

Well, in the story you're gonna have to switch to a fighter anyway for the serious ass-kicking portions.

I just bought a dromedary today for the first time. It seems to handle exactly like the drone, has the same armor/shield/gun level, but much bigger cargo.

So, in other words, the dromedary is pretty dang good, but don't worry about buying it (I don't know what the level requirement is). You can make good cash with the drone.

The Humpy on the other hand... is the slug on barbituates. But it has much heavier armor, shields, and guns.

I actually like the Drone, personally, as far as freighters go. It's the freighter I've used the most. Seems to maneuver better than the Bretonian freighter, at least to me. Plus it looks looks kinda cool for some reason. Squat flying brick with tiny insect wings.

Tried the Dromedary, and found it fine, but it's easier to get a Drone anyways, and 175 cargo is acceptable unless you're greedy. (Like I've gotten later on in MP gaming in FL recently-hehe)

Don't think of it as being outnumbered. Think of it as having a larger target selection.
