As if that all wasn't enough, The Hellcat comes standard with a generous 5x5x5 Hangar space, which can also fit Long Range Radar on the ceiling, plus docked vehicles on it's floor, making this a versatile All-in-One ship.

Give it a try as your first Post-Starter CV and you will never want to use another. The ship can serve you all the way to Core13+, and can also double as a fantastic Miner or Rare-Ore miner later in your playthrough.
