Freighters

Freighters are small trading vessels, typical of the cargo ships that were pilotable in the original Freelancer. They are relatively inexpensive, but their limited cargo capacity produces relatively small profit in comparison to Transports. Freighters can be fairly agile (although some of the largest models are not), and they all have a cruise speed of 400 m/s (the fastest speed available). However they are usually lightly armed and armored, and can be destroyed by almost any serious combat vessel.

Freighter Shields are available in four different classes (2-6), with the Class 6 shields having four separate grades. Higher classes and grades provide more protection, but require more energy to operate.

NB: The Freelancer game engine marks all non-fighter vessels as "Freighter" type ships, since the original game did not support any other large pilotable ships. In the Discovery mod, a "Freighter" is a cargo ship with less than 650 units of cargo space.

Freighters

All of the cargo-hauling Freighters have Countermeasures, and most of them have Cruise Disruptors and Mine Droppers.

Repair Ships

Due to their cargo size, repair ships are classified as Freighters by the rules, despite having Transport-class turrets, shields, and handling. Moreover, they are not typically used for hauling cargo, and instead are typically used for carrying consumables onto the battlefield to resupply combat ships.

Repair ships do not have Countermeasures, Cruise Disruptors, or Mine Droppers.
