What is the best Freighter?

If you are stuck in a mission and do not know how to continue, this is the place to ask for help. Missing that elusive Level 10 Shield? Don''t know where to find the lost Ohtori ship? This is the only place where spoilers are allowed!

What is the best Freighter?

I was wondering what is the best Freighter?

The Humpback, in my opinion. 250 cargo and it supports a higher weapon/shield class than the Dromedary. Only thing the Dromedary has over the Humpback is the slighty higher 285 cargo capacity. Kinda ticked off, I searched just about everywhere in the game for those huge transports and when I realized I had been just about everywhere, I came here and found out there is no way you'll ever have one -_-

Actually it'd be nice if there were a mod adding in those large transport ships. I'm sure there were quite a few people upset about that.

Considering how easily those blow up I wasn't very saddened over it. I like the dromedary, it may not be as strong as the humpback but it's a lot more manuverable .

Hmmm, I flew all but the final two missions in a Dromedary. It's available on a certain base anytime...... but no spoilers here!! You do need to get to level 10 to buy it tho. Nice starship.

I gotta pick the Dromedary for piracy and the Humpback for freight runs. The humpback's extra armor helps when you have to wait to go through a jump gate. The Dromedary is WAY more fun to fly though. Another thing about the dromedary, if you get one, you have to make peace with the hackers. I have a lot fewer enemys now that I have a Dromedary.

I'd walk a mile to fly a camel.

I vote for the Dromedary because it's... well... a dromedary!
Dromedaries are cool!

Remember, while Jesus loves you,
Everybody else thinks you're an ass.

If you're "Captain Neutral" like me, and have fairly few enemies, then the dromedary is great for trade and exploration. It's more nimble and has the little bit of extra cargo.

If you want to carry cargo through really rough areas, then the humpback is probably the way to go. But to be honest, it's probably better to pick a differetn run
