Basic Freighter
The basic freighters within Frontierspace have been given an armour
upgrade. The game is harder than before, so believe me, you'll need it.
Basic freighters have 150 percent of the freighter from the original game.
Heavy Hauler
The Heavy Hauler class has additional armour and cargo space. On the
downside it has higher mass, so it takes longer for the ship to reach its
maximum speed. Its engine is the same as those found in the basic
freighters. Heavy Haulers have 200 percent of the freighter from the
original game.
Fast Clipper
Fast Clippers are best used in territories that are hostile and are more
suited to running expensive cargo. Its offensive capabilities remain the
same as the Basic and its engine is the most advanced within the freighter
class. It's mass co-efficient is also heavily reduced meaning it can reach
its maximum speed the fastest out of the freighter class. The volume of
the engine is higher than the Basic freighter class. Fast Clippers only
have 100 percent of the freighter from the original game.
Gunship
The Gunship class is the freighter class that is aimed towards combat. Its
armour is extremely high and the maximum weapon class increased. The
maximum shield class is increased and the engine increased from the basic
freighter class. It's mass co-efficient is also reduced meaning it can
reach its maximum speed faster. On the downside, the volume of the engine
is so high and the armour increased to such an extent, its cargo capacity
is severely reduced. Even with these limitations, the Gunships remain some
of the most effective ships found throughout the Sirius Sector. Gunships
have 300 percent of the freighter from the original game.
