	A series of ill-advised modifications have been made to militarize this normally-harmless hull. Whether it's more dangerous to its crew or its enemies remains a point of contention at dockside bars, but these modification are often favored by pirates seeking to create the impression of overwhelming firepower. Most commonly used as interplanetary ferry, the Mudskipper is indeed interstellar-capable. The ship has no built-in shield generator so must rely on its durable - for a civilian craft - armor to protect passengers and cargo. There is little hope for the Mudskipper in combat, but it is generally equipped with a rear-facing turret to foil attacks by the ever-popular Salamander missile. First produced as the "Pegasus"-class but due to a trademark claim was reverted to its model code in official documentation. Operators quickly anointed the MGA-220 model with the name "Mudskipper" and the name. This tough little ship has been a mainstay in backwater civilian transport for centuries, and although not pretty, the rugged construction simplifies maintenance and generous bay doors allow for great versatility. To this point, the Mudskipper's image in the public mind was cemented by a somewhat unlikely holovid sequence featuring a Mudskipper transporting a herd of bovids to a picturesque arid-terraform.
–In-game description

Converted from the Mudskipper, the Mudskipper Mk.2 is an interesting frigate capable of mounting a large ballistic weapon, though the ship's lack of shields or other defenses leaves it vulnerable to counter attacks.

Overview

The only frigate capable of mounting a large weapon, the Mudskipper Mk.2 is capable of firing most large ballistic weapons, except the Gauss Cannon, which requires 1200 flux to fire one shot and therefore necessitates a minimum of 3 capacitors in order to fire at all.
