I always recommend Freelancer on questions like this . It ' s a very versatile option that has a lot of seats for about 5 people if you include the turret . The cargo is good , there ' s docking collar , weapons are decent enough . Only downside I see is the cockpit visibility . Now that Cutlass rework turning out to be so good , that one is also an amazing option since there ' s so much firepower and enough cargo space . Constellation Taurus is the next one I ' d think about . For only $ 150 , it ' s got a lot of cargo and a lot of firepower , and very good multicrew capabilities . Sure it doesn ' t have a rover or a snub like Aquila does but it ' s almost half the price of it . The gimbaled size 4 weapons make it such a strong ship too . I think it ' s the best bang for the buck to be honest .
