Freighters - can they cut it?
Thinking of getting a freighter and try some of these cargo runs. The thing that is holding me back is that I don't think they are good on defence? My rep in the Sigma sectors is pretty low with the bad guys, so low that the last time I was on the trade lane from Freeport 1 (?) to the Jump Gate I got three trade lane disruptions, first time 6 - 8 Daggers, then 4 - 6 Stilettos then 4 Centurions. My Barracuda was limping a bit by the time I got to the Jump Gate, no flares or shield batteries left - any more bad guys and it would have been a bit dodgy.
So should I look to paying a bribe first then getting a freighter, or just stick with my new Falcon as it has a 60 capacity cargo bay, and concentrate on the highest value goods?
