It's based on the Type 6 frame but with extra weapon hardpoints. It has a reduced cargo capacity to support a higher class of powerplant, and can even accomodate a fighter bay. Its durability is improved by better defence capabilities for armour and shields. Its similiar silhouette to the Type 6 makes it a suitable vessel for commerce raiding or convoy support.|In-game description}}The '''Keelback''' is a freighter ship with enhanced combat capabilities based on a Type-6 Transporter chassis. It's confirmed to debut in the 1.5 "Ships" update in December 2015. It was first mentioned in a list from the ''Answers from the Devs'' where it said it is an upcoming ship.<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=191898&page=3&p=2952777#post2952777 Answers from the Devs 15/10/15]</ref>

As this had never been heard of, people speculated that it was an alternative name to the [[Panther Clipper]]. However, on a stream David Braben revealed that it is a ship similar to the Lakon [[Type-6 Transporter]], but with better weapon hardpoints.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdP1DmRYco8&t=32m22s Elite Dangerous - On the Horizon Episode 4 - Q&A with David Braben 6PM GMT - 04/11/2015 ]</ref> It also has a better power plant at the cost of fewer internal compartments.

The ship has firepower similiar to most of small combat ships, boasting two small and two medium hardpoints. Two medium are located on top of the ship, very close to the cockpit, two small ones are on the bottom a bit further back. One of three utility mounts is located on the nose of the ship directly above the frontal landing gear piece, and two more on top and at the back.

According to the in-game description, this ship is capable of mounting a fighter bay, similiar to the [[Anaconda]].

{{quote|The Type 7 Transporter is Lakon Spaceway's medium size transport vessel. This is a new model, released in 3290. It's slow but moves a lot of tonnage for its size.|In-Game Description}}

The '''{{PAGENAME}},''' previously known as "Freighter 3", is a large and moderately armed freighter. It is one of three freighters produced by [[Lakon Spaceways]], the others being the smaller [[Type-6 Transporter]] and the larger [[Lakon Type-9 Heavy]]. While it has the potential to defend itself from small ships, the {{PAGENAME}} is not designed for combat and thus it is recommended to anyone flying this ship that they should avoid combat whenever possible.

Unfortunately due to this ship requiring a [[Landing Pad|large landing pad]], the {{PAGENAME}} cannot dock at [[Outpost]]s. For any traders who plan to dock at an outpost it is recommended that they opt to fly the Type-6 Transporter instead as it is the biggest freighter that can dock at outposts.

Repair costs on the Type-7 is low which makes trading without shields a reasonable strategy if you can avoid combat along the way.

== Trivia ==
* The {{PAGENAME}} has the same yaw and pitch speeds, which means it can turn side-to-side just as fast as it can adjust up and down on the nose. This offsets the low manoeuvrability rating when it comes to docking manually, as it has a similar yaw speed to much smaller ships such as the Eagle or Adder.
