Overview
"The vehicle of choice for the prosperous trader, this sturdy model emphasizes cargo capacity but does not neglect defence. Though not flashy, a Tanker using skillful defense tactics can often send a more maneuverable Dart packing."
Tanker is a viable alternative for those Cobra mk. III pilots that pursue a trading career. It can withstand heavier pounding than the stock Cobra 3, that combined with bigger cargo space and just a tad slower speed more than compensates for slightly inferior combat capabilities, at least from a trader's perspective.
As it stands, the Tanker is primarily a trading ship.

Seeing the potential, but not quite happy with the standard configuration, Far Arm shipyards have manufactured a limited number of "Special Edition" Tankers that can take even more punishment than already sturdy basic model. Tanker SE comes also with possibility to install Military Shield Enhancement and has some other combat-oriented upgrades as well. All this takes considerablew amount of space, which resultsm in smaller cargo capacity.
