Shuttle

The Shuttle is a light courier and passenger ship manufactured by Betelgeuse Shipyards. It is one of the three ships available at the start of the game, along with the Sparrow and the Star Barge.
== Description ==
Although Betelgeuse Shipyards produces other ship models as well, the majority of their profits come from sales of the Shuttle. This versatile ship serves equally well as a passenger transport or a cargo courier. It also happens to be the cheapest ship you can buy which is capable of hyperspace travel.

== Performance Info ==
The Shuttle is the cheapest of the three starter ships and is well suited for missions such as courier and light transport missions. It is similar in speed, turning, and acceleration to the Sparrow and is the second fastest of the three starter ships.
The Shuttle has the highest bunk space of the three with six bunks, three more than the Star Barge and three more than the Sparrow. It also has the second best cargo space of the three. This combination of attributes makes the Shuttle a good choice for players who want to ferry passengers, carry some light cargo and board enemy ships (to fill them with Bunk Rooms and capture bigger enemy ships - rinse and repeat, until no bigger enemy ships are at hand).
The Heavy Shuttle is meant to be a direct upgrade of the Shuttle.
