The Musashi Industrial & Starflight Concern Reliant is the third starter ship. It was built specifically to best accommodate some of the more PU-focused play-styles like Research and Reporting. It is the only starter ship with two seats.
There are currently 4 Reliant variants in production.
Reliant Kore - Mini HaulerEdit
Reliant Sen - ResearcherEdit
Reliant Mako - News VanEdit
Reliant Tana - SkirmisherEdit
With the success of the Freelancer Built for Life campaign, MISC has moved to join RSI and Consolidated in the single-seat introductory starship arena. Their silver bullet? A starter ship with more than one seat… and their ace in the hole: Xi’An technology. Where the Aurora is a pure utilitarian platform and the Mustang is a delicate, maneuverable personal transport, the Reliant is MISC’s most Xi’An tech-heavy ship to date. Featuring impossibly sleek lines, two separate crew seats and a vertical fuselage design, the Reliant’s streamlined cockpits glow with some of the finest xenotechnology available!
Horizontal to vertical transformationEdit
All Reliant variants are capable of transforming between a vertical and horizontal orientation. The vertical-configuration will be the ideal combat and maneuverability mode of flight because of a better spread of the thrusters. The Horizontal configuration won’t handle as well, but will have an improved top-speed over the Vertical mode. Right now it’s only planned to have you getting in/out of the seats while the ship is in Horizontal mode. The upper-seat will be the pilots chair, with the lower seat the gunner/turret operator.
The MISC Reliant will be available as a "Tier II" starter ship. It has been announced that it will be available as a standard starter package. The ability to seat 2 pilots and unnamed starter package extras will make this package slightly more expensive than the standard Mustang and Aurora starter packages.
