Description
37,500,000
97,500,000

Introducing something long thought extinct, the Trilobite was underneath the waves of Jago- biding its time till your next hauling mission. Hand sculpted by Koriandah and engineered by BlindingBright, this ship is the undisputed king of M core haulers- and gives many of L core a run for it's Quanta. Carrying more than any other within it's weight-class, with over 21kt+ from the ground of Alioth, no AG, into space.

"*Cackling* 21kt?! What... have we done?!" - Blinding Bright
"It's existence is an affront to god, I've created a monster." - Koriandah
"I need to get the MTI new hauler" - Cobqlt

The-best-hauler in it's weight/size class compared to other ships on DU-Creators.
30L containers of internal storage, room on the top of the ship for cargo pods.
10 XL Maneuver Space Engines go brrrrrr
50 Large Military Atmos for pushin' power
32 Large Stabilizers... 32 LARGE STABLIZERS?!!!
No. stacked. elements.

With a focus on performance, she ain't too bad lookin' with a fully built out posh interior- made from some of the finniest wood & marble found in Helios. The bridge gives you beautiful views for you and all of your a̶l̶t̶s̶... or org mates ;) Fully built out crew & captains quarters, engineering bay, and built-in bar for your never ending party in space.

If you want to come face to face with this monster, see it now on display at "Blinding Bright Ship Store", with a VR directly to it "MTI Trilobite"

Regularly pushing 2 dozen 1.8kt packs at a time to and from space stations with the backpack. Had a Trilobite docked to the space only that took a couple rounds to the hull courtesy Legion and Bright redeployed no charge. Bellwether approved

Bought it today. Handles very well for a ship this size and the design, interior and capabilities are awesome!

Koriandah took his Trilobite out to win an easy 100mil bet, showcasing it's advertised 21kt of weight off Alioth and into space: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITppuS626po

@kodiak This ship uses a lot of fuel, it's not for the faint of heart- 50 Military Atmos and 10XL Space engines is a loooot to feed no matter what your carrying, at a dry weight of 4+kt + 1-2kt for fuel. Pushing even an "empty" ship around can cost a lot in this case and more than most people use on an daily driver of a ship even full of ore. This is a monster truck, not a prius ;)

What's your in game name? I don't see you on the buy-list :) My suggestion to atmo fuel use, use space-hops. If you launch into space/orbit it uses a lot less fuel and is the recommended way to travel on any ship for any sizeable distance.

For reference, my last haul with this was over 40KT of ore into Alioth, without AG and 60+ containers/pods stacked on top of it. Using the ship properly for heavy transport is where it shines and saves on costs. if you're just making quick market runs and as a daily driver... I highly suggest a Tomahawk, gotta have the right tool for the right job :D

This ship is great but the fuel it uses is so much that its not a great ship after all. You spend more money in fuel then you can carry in ore. I have wasted more money then I ever should on a ship the eats fuel just to run it. If you want a ship there are so many ships out there that use fuel the right way.

This ship is hilarious, I don't know how it works but it does. I've not been near 21kt (!) yet, 13kt being the most I've needed to move so far, and zero effs were given. In fact by that time I was so confident in it's ability to just stay in the air that I stopped, turned around and started the engines again from a stop @ 1800m with all that cargo on board after absent mindedly flying past my destination lol

It does have *some* things to take note of, a lot of the airbrakes are nestled inside, should that ever be a nono. And atmo flight characteristics are workable but weird, with a necessary high alpha required for level flight. Neither a deal breaker though and I recommend this as pretty much the be-all and end-all of hybrid hauling.
