Transports are very large cargo ships which were not pilotable in the original [[Freelancer]]. Transport ships have cargo capacities between 650 and 5000 units, and are able to generate much more income for their owners than [[Freighters]], but they are also significantly more expensive to purchase. Transports are much larger than Freighters, less agile, and have a maximum cruise speed of 350 m/s (compared to 400 m/s for Freighters). Only a few ships in this class have hardpoints for defensive equipment such as [[Countermeasures]] and [[Cruise Disruptors]], and none of them have [[Mine Droppers]]. However, Transports also have stronger hulls, larger [[Shields]], bigger power plants, and use [[Class 4 Turrets]] in place of fighter guns and turrets, all of which gives them better survivability.

Some transports use interchangeable [[Cargo Pod|Cargo Pods]]. The cargo pods do not actually store cargo (the cargo is stored in the ship's main hold). However, cargo pods are independent from the ship hull, and take damage separately from the hull. As such, cargo pods provide an important defensive function by absorbing weapons fire that would otherwise hit the ship hull.

Commercial transports have cargo holds that are capable of holding more than 3,600 units, and therefore cannot be used with the Freelancer ID. The pilot must carry a faction ID that gives the privilege of flying these ships. Most of these ships are far less agile than the civilian transports, making them much more succeptible to piracy attempts. However, these ships also have greater hull strength and larger power plants on average, which gives them better survivability in a fight.

Article possibly outdated (
v4.86
)
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 15.09.2012 (DD/MM/YYYY). You may help by updating it, often by using the code generator.

Transports are very large cargo ships which were not pilotable in the original Freelancer. Transport ships have cargo capacities between 650 and 5000 units, and are able to generate much more income for their owners than Freighters, but they are also significantly more expensive to purchase. Transports are much larger than Freighters, less agile, and have a maximum cruise speed of 350 m/s (compared to 400 m/s for Freighters). However, Transports also have stronger hulls, larger Shields, bigger power plants, and use Class 4 Turrets in place of fighter guns and turrets, all of which gives them better survivability. About half the ships in this class have hardpoints for Countermeasures, but only a few have Cruise Disruptors, and none of them have Mine Droppers.

Some transports use interchangeable Cargo Pods. The cargo pods do not actually store cargo (the cargo is stored in the ship's main hold). However, cargo pods are independent from the ship hull, and take damage separately from the hull. As such, cargo pods provide an important defensive function by absorbing weapons fire that would otherwise hit the ship hull.

Large transports with engines at the front of the ship have an inherent resistance to Cruise Disruptors that are fired from behind the ship, since the disruptor explosion may not reach the engines.

When purchased, Transport 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.

Price note: All prices listed are for full package price, which includes hull and standard equipment.

Civilian Transports

Civilian transports have less than 3600 cargo, and therefore do not require a special ID to operate. They are typically used as the first step up from Freighters. All of these ships have Countermeasures.

Commercial Transports

Commercial transports have cargo holds that are capable of holding more than 3,600 units, and therefore cannot be used with the Freelancer ID. The pilot must carry a faction ID that gives the privilege of flying these ships. Most of these ships are far less agile than the civilian transports, making them much more succeptible to piracy attempts. However, these ships also have greater hull strength and larger power plants on average, which gives them better survivability in a fight. Some of the transports in this sub-class have 10 or more guns, which provides a very capable defensive ability. Most of the ships in this sub-class do not have Countermeasures or Cruise Disruptors.

Liners

Liners are transports that are designed to carry human cargo. They are typically the largest ships in the Transport class, providing ample space for the cargo to get up and walk around. They also have the strongest hulls and largest power cores in the class, and typically have enough turrets to defend themselves adequately. Unfortunately their sheer size and slow turning speed makes them difficult to manuever in combat.
