This article has not been verified to be up to date for the latest version of the Discovery mod. The last edit was made on 02.02.2012 (DD/MM/YYYY). You may help by updating it, often by using the code generator.

Capital ships are the largest ships usable by players in the Discovery mod. Their size ranges from elegant cruisers to gigantic warships.

Note: Capital ships - due to their size - are hard to maneuver. While going through an asteroid or a minefield, they easily collide with obstacles, which makes the trips longer. Battleships have a tendency to get stuck in asteroid fields. Docking with jumpgates and trade lane ring requires much more attention than with a small vessel as you need to get into position or else you get stuck or (in luckier cases) take a long go-around. In the case with Trade Lanes, it is a common occurrence when the capital ship bumps into and disrupts the lane. Note that relatively flat capital ships may be able to get through certain parts of asteroid fields by rolling and/or backing up and taking a different route, when they may otherwise get stuck.

Also note: You may freely purchase and operate a capital ship, however be aware that many of the ships factions have registration requirements. Buying a capital ship without the appropriate approval and registration may and usually does incur the unwanted attention of the ship faction. Often they will put unregistered ships on a hunt and destroy list, the roleplay premise being that you have stolen some of their technology.

When purchased, Cruiser and Battleship class vessels will show up as a "Freighter" on the ship purchase dialog. This is because the Freelancer game itself was never intended to have these ship classes available to players, and cannot be fixed. Refer to the ship info card to review the actual ship class.


Cruisers and Destroyers

  • Destroyers are fast and maneuverable warship intended to protect large warships from bombers. However, most ships classified as destroyers are simply more agile and less armored cruisers.
  • Heavy Destroyers are destroyers with more firepower (and usually armor), but maintain maneuverability as a primary trait.
  • Cruisers are the primary warship in Freelancer. They can be fit for use against fightercraft, capitals, stationary targets, and some can do both of these simultaneously.
  • Heavy Cruisers are usually, but not always, less maneuverable. They have significantly increased firepower, exceeded only by their even heavier armor.
  • Siege Cruisers have a fixed forward gun that is usually more powerful and efficient than a Light Mortar. They are otherwise lightly armed.
