Type-7 Transporter
Freighter

Description

The Type 7 Transporter is Lakon Spaceway's medium size transport vessel. This is a new model, released in 3290. It's slow but moves a lot of tonnage for its size.

The Type-7 Transporter, previously known as "Freighter 3", is a large and moderately armed freighter. It is one of four freighters produced by Lakon Spaceways, the others being the smaller Type-6 Transporter and the Keelback, and the larger Type-9 Heavy. While it has the potential to defend itself from small ships, the Type-7 is not designed for combat and thus it is recommended to anyone flying this ship that they should avoid combat whenever possible.

Unfortunately due to this ship requiring a large Landing Pad, the Type-7 cannot dock at Outposts. For any traders who plan to dock at an outpost it is recommended that they opt to fly the Type-6 Transporter instead as it is the biggest dedicated trade ship that can dock at outposts.

Repair costs on the Type-7 are low which makes trading without shields a reasonable strategy if you can avoid combat along the way.
