The Mercury Star Runner is a multi-crew space ship with focus on cargo and data transport manufactured by Crusader Industries and released in Alpha 3.11.1. The cargo bay can be accessed from the outside via ramp and is capable of transporting multiple ground vehicles, and it has a separate shielded cargo area that is undetectable by scanners. The ship additional has a scanning station, multiple server racks, and maintenance tubes that run at the bottom of the ship.
CIG has recognized the lack of a secondary access as a flaw in the ship design, but has not committed to, or announced, to add a secondary access.[1]
| “ | The Mercury checks all the boxes expected of a dependable courier vessel, and then some. If you need it there fast and unscathed, you can’t do better than the Mercury. Built with the same engineering and design principals that has made Crusader the go-to manufacturer for galactic transport on any scale, the star runner chassis sets new standards for data and cargo conveyance. | ” |
