Freighters are responsible for transporting goods between systems. They are defenseless and require fighter escorts to defend against raiders and Pirates. They sometimes carry valuable loot, which could be sold for extra money.

Appearances[]

Terran[]

Terran freighters have designs similar to all of their ships, they have a pair of 4 engines on the sides and feature multiple antennas, carries 3 cargo containers. There is also a small raised part of the ship on top with fins and on the engines, which really makes them have a resemblance to a submarine.

Vossk[]

Vossk freighters look very similar to Terran freighters in terms of shape and design configurations. They have large blade-shaped wings on the front like all Vossk ships and and zig-zag patterns on the back of the whole freighter. If you removed the containers then it would have a strong resemblance to the S-64 Skycrane.

Nivelian[]

Nivelian freighters are a little unique, they have their bridge all the way at the back instead of the front unlike all other freighters, it is raised up and separated from the containers. The engines are in the back instead of the sides. They have a resemblance to real life cargo ships, where as the containers is the hull and the ship itself is the superstructure.

Midorian[]

Midorian freighters look broken and rusted, they look like their connected to multiple parts, large cargo containers are held up by hooks on the sides of the hull. They have engines place horizontally on the sides and a cockpit drooping down like their ships. They have some resemblance to World War II era aircraft such as the B-17 Flying Fortress.

  • The Terran Freighter features the word "Cargo" on either side of the rear engine panels. Its the only Freighter of any faction to do so.
  • Terran freighters will only appear in Terran, Mido and Nivelian Systems.

  • Vossk "K'Sarr" freighters follow the same colour scheme as the rest of Vossk's technologies. They also follow the insectoid-like style of Vossk ships.
  • Vossk Freighters tend to carry more valuable loot than other freighters.
  • Toward the end of the Void Threat period, Erkkt Uggut, a Vossk commander, piloted a K'Sarr freighter loaded with Nivelian-Terran explosives blew up the Void Mothership and sacrificed himself in the process.
  • In the description for the L'ksaar turret, it mentions that the Vossk arms its "K'saar" freighters, a fishlabs moderator has stated this is not the same as the existing Vossk freighter

  • Midorian freighters are also made of salvaged parts from other ships. These are also found in the Ginoya System, as far as Naneroh.
  • The Midorian freighter comes in two variants, "heavy" which includes all hull cargo pods; and "light" which only contains the front and rearmost pods.

  • Because of the raised bridge, it is possible to hitch a ride on top of these freighters.
  • The Midorian Freighter looks similar to the Nivelian Freighter, perhaps because Midorian Ships are based on Nivelian Ships.
  • Midorians captured a couple of Nivelian freighter that transported the bomb needed to destroy the Void Mothership in the base game.
  • On the back near the engines, the line in between them, can come in white, blue, green, and orange colour.
