== Description ==
The design of the Water Bug is almost as old as the Aphid, but until recently it never saw much use. A spike in aggression from the Unfettered Hai has led the tougher and more well-defended Water Bug to see an increase in popularity over its little brother, the Aphid. The Water Bug is now the most widely used Hai freighter, comprising the bulk of all Hai merchant fleets.

== Performance Information ==
A Water Bug is a fairly straightforward light freighter. It is meant for carrying cargo, but a Water Bug has the benefit of having some decent weapons and shields. With proper outfitting, a Water Bug can defend itself fairly well, albeit its small engine capacity prohibits it from being very maneuverable. In its default role as a light freighter, the player can use a Water Bug for a flagship or an escort to effective results. Water Bugs also have enough bunks to be a light passenger transport.
The Unfettered Hai use these in their fleets on occasion. In mixed Unfettered fleets, Water Bugs fill a support role, staying out of the primary battle while launching Trackers to hammer enemy ships.
