Mirage Courier

A balanced Voyage trade-runner that hauls real cargo while still outpacing most threats.

Forgemaster 9 hours ago 3.4k views Patch 0.9.x EA

Overview

Speed with a paycheck

Most Dune Runners carry nothing. The Mirage Courier fixes that. It keeps a runner's pace but adds a real cargo bay and a fuel bunker so you can complete long Voyage trade loops without docking.

A single autocannon and a harpoon give you enough teeth to discourage a lone pirate, while the Overdrive Coil + Afterburner combo lets you simply leave any fight you do not want.

This is the build that pays for all your other builds.

Pros & Cons

Strengths

  • + Carries genuine cargo for a runner
  • + Fast enough to refuse most fights
  • + Self-sufficient on long voyages
  • + Strong crowns-per-hour

Weaknesses

  • − Moderate crown cost
  • − Needs route knowledge to shine

How to build it

  1. 1Start from a light runner chassis and mount the reactor low and central.
  2. 2Place the two Cargo Holds amidships, flanked by the Fuel Bunker.
  3. 3Add Composite Plating over the cargo and helm only — stay light.
  4. 4Mount the Autocannon Turret and Harpoon Launcher on opposite corners.
  5. 5Wire the Overdrive Coil and Afterburner for guaranteed disengage.
  6. 6Top with the Radar Mast for early ambush warning.
