Build Description
A sturdy space cow. Moves a lot of cargo in one go: 752 t or even 756 t if you accept a shorter jump range. You are able to earn Powerplay rating 3 (750 merits) in one go. With rating 3, you can buy special power-specific modules that aren’t available otherwise. With a bit of skill, you can also escape human pirates in open play.
The ship is named after Palmyrene queen Zenobia a.k.a. Bat-Zabbai.
Pros and Cons
Pros:
• Sturdy cargo space cow with a balance between cargo space and defensive systems.
• Able to earn Powerplay rating 3 (750 merits) in one go to unlock power-specific modules.
• Very good value for money.
• Needs no Navy rank like the Cutter.
Cons:
• Sturdy cargo space cow that turns as fast as a sloth.
• No offensive capabilities whatsoever, so you better run.
• No Supercruise Assist, so don’t doze off. (You can exchange the Guardian FSD Booster for a Supercruise Assist.)
Materials Required
The following numbers assume the following rolls required to progress:
Grade 1 rolls - 2
Grade 2 rolls - 4
Grade 3 rolls - 5
Grade 4 rolls - 7
Grade 5 rolls - 10
This can vary greatly since rolls are randomized events, which means these are at best estimates to target.
