Originally designed as a transport for planets that possess a thin atmosphere, the Dehaviland Condor is a Ship that is now something of anachronism. The huge wingspan that was originally such an asset now makes the ship ridiculously exposed to attack and advances in engine technology make its high lift wings redundant. Poor armaments don’t help and this bird in reality is little more than a sitting duck. Although impractical, its elegant lines still attract many pilots and consequently it still commands a high market value. The fact that it was withdrawn from production 10 years ago, taken together with its relative vulnerability means that the fast dwindling supply of these ships is only likely to elevate the market price further. |
