One other important attribute is the BFF-1's tractor beam. Besides cargo of all sorts, the manufacturers managed to make later versions acceptable for passenger transport, making room for about a hundred people. However, it flies rather sluggishly while travelling at sublight speeds, requiring a pilot with a steady, yet gentle hand. One advantage of this type of transport is that despite its significant size, the BFF-1 has the ability to land. The BFF-1 Bulk Freighter is all and nothing more than what its name states with a design that amounts to a decent hyperdrive engine surrounded by lots of cargo containers.
