	As the result, the next ''Epsilon'' variant was configured with large side sponsons for carrying of cargo and passengers (or in the typical case, impounded goods and incarcerated wrongdoers). Both sponsons now featured gangway hatches and associated tractor cranes for moving the cargo. The nose profile of this flight was trimmed down to keep the center of mass close to the original location atop the ventral takeoff engine, which was in turn swapped for a more powerful type. In contrast, the warp engines were downgraded for affordability: significant savings came from the adoption of the older DB-2243 familiar from ''Argon'' merchant transports. Performance was accordingly reduced to warp 5/6, and some seven thousand tons were added to total mass, yet satisfied customers eagerly bought some 340 craft to replace their ''Solars''.

	[[Star Fleet Training Command]] ended up purchasing just four Flight Is for basic training and later adding two ex-FCS Flight II craft for support duties. These were retired in [[2290]].
