{{quote|Lakon Spaceways are famous for building dependable, jump capable transport vessels. The Type 6 is their smallest commercially available model. It has limited combat capability, but is capable of transporting decent size loads for its size class.|In-Game Description}}

The '''Lakon Type-6 Transporter''', one of three freighters manufactured by [[Lakon Spaceways]], is mainly used for trading and hauling [[commodities]] throughout the galaxy. This ship uses medium-sized landing platforms and, unlike both of Lakon's larger trading vessels, may still dock at [[Outpost]]s. Due to the focus on carrying capacity and jump range the Type 6 is not suited for combat and it is advisable that traders avoid entering any combat situation without an escort.

When fitted for maximum cargo capacity, which can reach 112 tons, many [[Trader|traders]] find that the Type 6 becomes quite suited for trading standard commodities in bulk rather than hauling rare commodities long distances. After upgrading the [[Frame Shift Drive]] to increase its jump range, the Type 6 can be equally good at hauling rare commodities long distances as it is hauling standard commodities in bulk for short distances.

The Type 6, oddly enough, has also found a niche as an exploration vessel; when stripped of all combat-related modules and stocked with an upgraded frame shift drive, the Type 6 can reach jump ranges comparable to the [[Asp Explorer]] at a much lower cost, though is significantly less capable of defending itself should it encounter a hostile vessel, and is still quite a bit more expensive than the [[Cobra]] which can also be used for exploration.

Something to note: The class 3 shield gen that comes equipped by default on the Type-6 is woefully suboptimal for a ship of its weight class, it'll save you the cost of a new paint job when you underestimate its breaking speed on landing but it is about as good as paper against a pirate. You might want to consider swapping one of your class 4 cargo racks for a class 4 shield generator, granted you'll suffer a net loss of 8 cargo capacity but the loss of potential profit is significantly less than getting mugged by a pirate.
