Notes:
The Premia SC is another merely average entry into its class by Tens & Piney. While it lacks the
maneuvering problems of the Buzzard, it has the smallest cargo bay of the three heavy shuttles,
merely average top speed, and 2 size 1 gun (and missile) mounts which severely hamper its
mining capacity (which is one of the best ways for nugget pilots of any faction to make money).
And once again, the optimal equipment for the ship requires a fair amount of rank (by which time
the Light Fighter becomes available). While not bad in any way, the Premia SC isn’t particularly
spectacular, either.
