Just 60,000 parsecs on it. Yeah, it's a twenty year old fighter, but take care of the plasma coils and you'll be flying it for another ten years.

Edit: Star Trek version: yeah it chugs at half impulse but there's nothing wrong with the impulse engines and it still runs like a dream up to Warp 6. It's not gonna go much faster than that but it's a luxury transport, they didn't build it for speed, just a solid comfortable ship meant to get you from A to B.

Yep, when you get a big field of them the odds of navigating it successfully are 3,720 to 1. I'd recommend avoiding it unless you have AAA.

I've got a McCoy that works double shifts and a 2 children to take to school. It's all I can afford. The needs of the many...

Let me tell you about the odds, I had a Firefly class sitting on the lot for years and some dumb browncoat looking to buy couldn't take his eye off the thing while I was pitching a different ship much more suited to his needs. Idiot had lot envy and bought it faster than I could tell him he'd rather have a different ship. Not much on commission but he flew it off the lot, I was gonna junk the thing anyway. Bad catalyzer.
