6 Feat Speed Freak Reach .25c in an EI500 freighter

The name of this achievement doesn't really invoke the imagery of a highly-modified freighter, in fact a speed freak would more likely choose the Wolfen as a starter. A better way to call a tricked-out freighter would be "Q-ship", though historically that referred to a heavily armed rather than a very fast freighter. Alternatively, the achievement name can reference the Millennium Falcon, which is one of the fastest freighters in sci-fi, though a oblique reference may be required, so as not to attract the Mouse(tm).

Alternatively, the requirements of the challenge can be changed to reaching .30c in any ship [spoiler=]thus requiring the Pteracnium Megadrive[/spoiler]

[136166]

Here are some I think could be good.

Canister shot: Destroy a fighter-type ship with a howitzer.
Slam Dunk: Destroy a ship with a slam cannon but with minimal damage.
Bombardier: Destroy a station with a howitzer
Surgical Presicion: Hit an Enemy next to a friendly with a howitzer.
IED: Damage an enemy with a non combat device that can be used as a mine, E.G Excavation pod.
Big Blue Doom: Destroy a Locrym ship.

Keep on thinking!
