Freighters are trading vessels of the caliber available in the original Freelancer game. They range from the Liberty Rhino to the Camara Heavy Freighter, and are used by many NPCs.
Rules-wise, a freighter is a trade vessel marked as a freighter by the Freelancer ship types, but with less than 650 units of cargo space, larger ships are transports. Gunboats, Cruisers and Battleships are also not freighters, despite being marked as such in the ship purchase window.
Another oddity about freighters is their shields, freighter shields range from class 1 to class 6, instead of class 1 to class 10 like fighter shields, This is because freighter shields classes 7 - 10 are reserved for transports and capital ships. But don't start hyperventilating thinking you will be stuck with that class 6 Advanced Sentinel Freighter Shield because freighter shields keep progressing even though they are still marked "class 6". Really, this is a good thing, it means if your freighter can handle a class 6 shield, it can handle any freighter shield. If you want to know what class your freighter shield really is, just look at the shield of the same name sold for light or heavy fighters.
