Besides trading...

...Are freighters worth buying? I mean, they got turrets but they have the same hull armor rating, or lower than their heavy and light fighter counterparts. So, if your attacked, you have the same armor level, but your a whole lot slower. And the turret view is cool, but it leaves you a target that flies in a straight line, unless your strafing ( but you dont strafe that quickly). Its actually hard to miss...Anyways, in my opinion, freighters would be real cool, they just need to have much bigger shield/armor advantage. Feel free to agree or disagree.

It totally depends on what you want to do!

a) Be a fighter pilot and advance via taking missions which requires you to kill people. Use heavy fighters!
b) Be a freighter captain, and advance via shipping cargo and making profits.
Use Freighters.


If you want to do both you need to choose,... make easier kills but risk ending up with a full cargo hold before you want it,... Or pick a freighter, make kills, be it harder,... but you;ll be able to shove whatever you want in your cargo hold!


And BTW,... there are several types of freighters,... some of which have heavy shielding and armor,...
