Can anyone tell me the name and location of a freighter that has a cargo capacity larger than the armored transport (at 480)? I know about the heavy lifter (at 750), I would like to know if there are any other options.
A 1000 capacity makes the ship a transport, and that is too large.
Basically, since a pirate ID prohibits the use of Transports, I want to know what is the largest cargo hold on a freighter available to pirates (excluding gunboats and any other capital class ships).
And yes, I have been "discovering"...my ship database contains 123 ships so far...and I haven't found something that meets my needs.
Thanks in advance.

The TRF is the best freighter on offer & is a Junker ship. Spot on for our activities.
The Armoured Transport is a transport hence its name. The rule is anything 500+ is a transport & the AT (while were on the subject) has been pumped upto 525 to avoid confusion.
EDIT - added this
7.14 (Rule comes into effect after Discovery 4.84 release) For purposes of the server rules, all light fighters, heavy fighters, very heavy fighters, super heavy fighters, and bombers are considered fighters; cargo ships with cargo hold less than 500 units are considered freighters; cargo ships with cargo hold more than 500 units, including liners, are considered transports; gunboats, cruisers (including destroyers and battlecruisers), battleships (including dreadnoughts) are considered capital ships.
I've flown the Turanic Raiders Freighter before. A good ship, though a bit slow is getting a performance upgrade in the upcoming mod release. Plenty of firepower for a freighter, and it's a fairly tough little thing.
