You can't buy them, they're NPC Ships. However, you can fly underneath them with a freighter, shoot the containers with a single cannon, and tractor in the goods without hurting your reputation with the corporations...

Well then are there any BIG trading vessels?

the most cargo you can carry is 275 in a Dromedary. You can buy it at mactan base in magellan from the lane hackers.

Thankx

Can you mod the ship? And if so how do u do it?

The Dromedary can be modified, and there's some discussion of how to do it in the editing forum. One of the threads actually uses the Dromedary as an example, and explains what most of the lines mean and how they could be changed.

Unfortunately, I don't have the time or skill to do much modding, but as an experiment I--very easily--changed the three guns in the Dromedary to make them a maximum of Class 10 instead of Class Six (or whatever it is originally), and making the shield Class 10. Only took a few minutes, following instructions found on that forum. I'm sure it could be further modified; but I just don't have the time to learn how to do it.

There are some excellent tutorials available in the editing forum area, too, and some good utilities in the downloads area. Have a look.

You might even be able to get some generous soul to do a mod of a freighter for you. Let me know if you do; I'd be interested, too.

BTW, it's also possible to modify--again quite easily--the cargo capacity of other ships. You could have a VHF with a freighter's cargo capacity, if you wsanted to, and if didn't too much offend your sense of realism.

Personally, I find a modified freighter (kinda like the "Q-ships" in WW2) more believeable than a fighter with 200+ cargo carrying capacity, but each to their own.
