Next trader ship?

[napalmeddie]

Hi all. I'm new to the game and server and so far I'm enjoying it! I wanted to know what would be the best ship to upgrade to for a trader after the Rhino and where would I pick it up? Obviously I'm just getting started but I expect to get up to 40 in no time so I can join a faction.

I like my Rhino now becuase I can haul a good amount for a new guy. It has a good amount of firepower so I can do mercenary jobs now and again for some excitement. What should I be looking to buy next?

CSVs are nice, and available on Manhattan. Otherwise, check the Discovery readme file, it lists the stats and where to find all the ships.

And you don't have to be level 40 to join a faction. You can join one right off the bat if you want.

Yeah, 40 is just the point where you have to get an ID.

dromedary....or, camara....not many smooth transitions from the rhino, but, I think the dromedary is the closest...245 cargo.
costs 200k or so...

Yeah Camara is a beast with 6 turrets that have a nice field of fire. It turns like a hog but that doesn't matter much in turret mode.

If you like more of a forward gun approach, save up for a Kushan Freighter. Very agile for a freighter, 350 cargo or so, and excellent weapons and shields.

Dromedary's a good choice. Good hold, reasonably tough.

Making use of those features would cost like 5 mil wouldn't it? I would just buy a transport at that point.

If your goal is simply to make $$$ trading, then sure, get the ship with the biggest hold. I have a 2500 hold transport and 3 freighters. The transport makes money and the freighters are for fun.
