-Despite being large ship, it has no turrets, meaning it must be piloted like a smaller ship during combat.  This disadvantage is alleviated by the superior manoeuvering technology embedded in the ship.

 Once you have completed the 'Thargoid Missions', you cannot keep the craft.  You must either accept a new Thargoid vessel, which is vastly superior, or return the ship to its owners.
-An alternative is to either avoid Alioth forever, or sell it at any other Alioth port, then fly to New Rossyth where your trade in is replaced by your old ship. Then fly back to where you sold the Turner Class and buy it back. The only catch is that it won't have its' equipment and you'll never see the Interspecies Translator or the StowMaster Escape Capsule again.

 A revolution in ship design, the Turner Class ship was the result of several years of intense R&D at the [[AAAI]] shipyards.  It carries the largest and most powerful commercial hyperdrive known to humanity - the Class 4 Military.

 == Disadvantages ==
-Is harder to get hold of than regular craft, although getting your Combat rating up to 'Competent' isn't diffficult.
+Turner Class ships cannot be brought, so obtaining one is difficult.
-You have to give it back once the missions are over. Or do you? You could avoid Alioth forever but there is another way. Sell it at a different port in Alioth, then fly to New Rossyth where your trade in is replaced by your old ship. Then fly back to where you sold the Turner Class and buy it back.

 The big draw back is that despite the impressive weaponry the Turner Class ship can carry, the Thargoid missions don't involve much fighting and once you beat the missions you get a Thargoid Warship, which is even bigger, jumps yet further and is equipped with Thargoid lasers which are essentially green plasma accelerators. You don't really get to use it.
