The Tugger is a small tug ship with enough power generation to tow a ship of up to 7,500,000kg at up to 50m/s. The pilot seat can be spun to face the back, looking out the back window for ease of locking on ships using the back facing tow beam.
The blueprint is provided for free. All feedback is welcome and in game tips (in-game name Egomaniac) are appreciated. However support will be limited but I will try my best.
Please give the ship a "like" if you use and enjoy the ship. Designed by EGOTech. Join the EGOTech Discord server.
