Transports
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 14.09.2012 (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, have a maximum cruise speed of 350 m/s (compared to 400 m/s for Frieghters), and use Class 4 Turrets in place of fighter guns and turrets. However, Transports also tend to have stronger hulls, larger Shields, and bigger power plants, which gives them better survivability over Freighters.
Some transports use interchangeable Cargo Pods. The cargo pods do not actually store cargo (the cargo is stored in the ship's main cargo 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 cruise 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 can be flown by any pilot, and do not require a special ID. They are typically used as a step up from Freighters.

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. Only a few ships in this class have hardpoints for defensive equipment such as Countermeasures and Cruise Disruptors, and 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 much greater hull strength on average, which gives them better survivability in a fight.

Battle Transports
Battle transports are commercial transports that are expected to see combat. These ships have 10 or more Class 4 Turrets, above-average hull strength and power plants, but slightly less cargo space.

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 provide adequate coverage. Unfortunately their sheer size makes them difficult to fly in combat.
