{{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 '''Type-7 Transporter,''' previously known as "Freighter 3", is a large and moderately armed freighter. It is one of four freighters produced by [[Lakon Spaceways]], the others being the smaller [[Type-6 Transporter]] and the [http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Keelback Keelback], and the larger [[Type-9 Heavy]]. While it has the potential to defend itself from small ships, the Type-7 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 large [[Landing Pad]], the Type-7 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 dedicated trade ship that can dock at outposts.

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

The weapon hardpoints are located as follows: Two forward mounted Class 1 small hardpoints next to the cockpit (one on each side, visible from cockpit), One underside mounted Class 1 small hardpoint located amidships and off-center to the right, and One top mounted Class 1 small hardpoint located amidships. The top and bottom hardpoints have a full hemisphere of clear lines of fire making them good places for turrets, while the two front mounted hardpoints are mostly suited for fixed and gimballed weapons.

Note: As of v1.4.01 it is possible to overheat and do module damage to a stock T-7 if the frame-shift drive is charged for a jump to supercruise or hyperspace but not throttled up/aligned for a jump.

== Location of utility mounts ==
* The 1st is in the left cutout on top of the ship.
* The 2nd is in the right cutout on top of the ship.
* The 3rd is on the bottom of the ship where the right wing connects to the body.
* The 4th is on the bottom of the ship where the left wing connects to the body.

== Trivia ==
* The Type-7 Transporter 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.

'''Smuggler'''s are similar to traders except that they sell goods where it is illegal, on the [[Black Market|black market]]. Smugglers have to use stealth, cunning, and special equipment to outwit the Police and sometimes military authorities, especially around [[station]]s, to sell their [[goods]] at a profit while escaping fines and a criminal record. Smugglers can also be a special case of [[courier]]s, where the player is asked to transport forbidden items.

When dealing in stolen items looted from wrecks or from piracy, smuggling is also essential as cargo is tagged and detection of stolen goods on a ship will carry consequences as well. For this reason, most pirates are also typically skilled in smuggling items into stations.

== How-to smuggle ==
Smuggling can be done in three ways, steal illicit cargo, pirate ships or buy goods that are allowed in one system and station, and sell it in another system where it is prohibited.

Buying goods from one system to another is usually between [[Empire]] and independent stations using [[Imperial Slaves]], but other goods and commodities are also profitable.

==Smuggling as a Player==
The goal is simple: enter the station without your hold being scanned by either players or police forces. There are multiple ways to get inside of a station without being scanned, which differ based on pilot skill, ship type, and station. It is far easier to smuggle in a smaller vessel, and larger ships will find the task to be not only difficult without detection, but extremely dangerous to the ship.
* '''When at an Outpost station:'''
** Don't expect to be scanned as police forces do not normally hang around these stations. These are the stations that have no docking slot, only pads on their surface. Beware of players that may seek to scan you, but dock as normal.
* '''When at a [[Starport]] station''' such as the [[Orbis]] or [[Coriolis]]:
** *Note that there is significant controversy over the effectiveness of the following technique, given that law enforcement officers tend to fly with very high end scanning equipment, able to detect you when your heat levels are incredibly low*
** At maximum range (7.5km) request docking clearance. Approach station from the side with the docking slot, as lined up as possible, and be sure that no large ships will be in your way. Be sure that you don't draw too close during this process.
** Disable all but the following modules: Life Support, Thrusters. Allow your ship to cool below 20% heat if possible. A Heat Sink Launcher aids in this.
** Head towards the docking slot at speed. As soon as possible, engage [[Silent Running]] (Delete key by default). This closes the heat vents on your ship to help hide it, but makes heat build-up inside; this is why we allowed the ship to cool. 'Ship Scan Detected' does not mean the scan was completed. Scanning takes a moment, and if you enter the docking ring or escape before it can be completed, the scan will fail (thus no [[fine]] or reputation loss).
** Enter the docking bay, disable silent running, and slow down as quickly as you can. Your shields will be offline, so any impact can easily cripple or destroy you.
*'''A sufficiently-skilled pilot '''is able to accomplish the task of entering the station without any special preparations, by requesting docking at a distance and then entering the station at considerable speed. This method is, when performed by a skilled pilot, by far the fastest and most likely to succeed, but carries the highest consequence when failed: impact with the station and immediate destruction.

==Penalties==
If the Police finish a scan on the player's ship while it is holding [[Illegal Goods|illegal]] or [[Stolen Goods|stolen]] cargo they will be [[fine]]d and their reputation with the system's controlling faction will drop. It is recommended to not smuggle in systems where the controlling faction is one that you want to continue to be friendly with.

==Notes==
* In the vast majority of cases, NPC ships will not be able to finish any scan they've started once you are inside of the docking ring, however, players can continue to scan you through the station if they so choose. It is also important to note that once landed and have entered the hangar, you are safe. You are not scannable by anyone once you have touched-down on your pad.
