95$ warbond if you make it from a Spartan Warbond LTI and upgrade it then from Spartan to Raft thanks to the warbond CCU, 15$ saved is 15$ for more beer 
I like the RAFT's looks for its role. CIG did a great job on this ship design. I'm surprised it doesn't carry a bit more cargo though.
Thanks for showing this off GL, I got as far as renting it but I'll miss out on flying it due to work.
I kinda like it, kinda not as impressed. I Like the ARGO Cargo, because it has nicely shaped covered up bits. This one is too much girder/insides showing, not enough bodywork. Still, pretty good design, fits nicely to it's role and the interior is top notch!

Watched the video with Gunnar. Instabuy. It was cheap and came with black and yellow paint job for a few extra bones. Now, how do we use this to make money in 3.15 exactly? Gunnar and I are ready to start using it everyday if at all possible for Space Trucking.
Are we gonna need testie escorts?
Please advise on how to use this in 3.15 to make some money.

Star Citizen has quite enough Cargo Ships already as I feel. This might fill a niche as its a lot of cargo for a comparitively low price and might be quicker to load/unload than ships with comparable cargo space in the future but also doesn't have no versatility. It's just cargo. But that job it does well. As an owner of a Starrunner I don't feel I need it, however it's only really a comparision because the other gameplay loops for the SR are not there jet. Nevertheless it had to be done because Argo just wouldn't feel complete without a cargo ship.
The RAFT will shine after the cargo refactor, when it starts taking time to load/unload cargo. This will pay for itself with how much faster it will be to get back moving.
Just pointing out that if you just use the larger cargo containers, you SHOULD be able to fit two in a connie with ease, then have room left over at the top
For what it's worth I do like the interior. Utilitarian with little wasted space. Quite what you expect of an industrial ship! 
Also, never buy more cargo than you're willing to lose, bugs still happen and there are other players that'll try to either force you to pay them to leave you alone or blow you up for kicks.
However, profit margins are still pretty terrible, so hiring crew is currently impractical (outside of people doing it for fun from TEST) as mission payouts are far greater than what you'd be able to afford out of your measly profit margins...especially with only 96 SCU.
