{{quote|A compact, adaptable ship, the Adder has a larger cargo hold than other ships of similar size, and its base jump range of over 30 light years makes it a viable choice for explorers. The ship can also hold its own in a dogfight, when properly outfitted.|In-Game Description}}
The '''Adder''' is a [[Ships|ship]] manufactured by [[Zorgon Peterson]]. It is a small yet sturdy multipurpose ship known for its reliability, built with a classic shuttle-type design. The original model was first built in 2914 by Outworld Workshops and the type is now manufactured by Zorgon Peterson. As the cheapest ship with a Class 2 [[hardpoint]] and an [[Armour Hardness]] on par with the [[Cobra MkIII]], the Adder is a viable early choice for [[combat]]. The hardpoint also gives the Adder the distinction of being the cheapest ship capable of mounting a Class 2 [[Mining Laser]], making it a serviceable vessel for [[Miner|mining]]. Furthermore, it has a relatively high jump range potential for its size and price range, and can carry up to 30 tonnes of cargo, allowing it to tackle [[Explorer|exploration]] and [[Trader|trading]] with ease. The Adder's adaptability and price make it ideal for new pilots seeking to upgrade from the [[Sidewinder MkI]].

==Overview==
The Adder is a powerful multipurpose ship that can fit a variety of roles when outfitted correctly, having a high cargo capacity and good combat efficiency. It serves as an upgraded [[Hauler]], and has a very similar appearance.

As a [[Trader]] the Adder is the best ship available until the [[Cobra MkIII]] becomes an option. With 26T of space available when unshielded it can make a decent profit from selling cargo and allows for a lot more trading [[missions]] to become accessible. Unlike the [[Hauler]], it also retains good combat efficiency and has decent armor for its price; letting it tank hits. Finally, it has good manoeuvrability, allowing it to dodge an [[interdiction]] with ease, and it is capable of [[Mass Lock|mass locking]] several small ships.

As a combat vessel, the Adder is surprisingly effective in the role. When compared to the [[Eagle]] the Adder's manoeuvrability is far lesser but it has far better shielding, an additional utility slot and better armor. Because of this, it becomes a choice of mobility vs defense. The Adder also replaces the top small hardpoint with a medium one; greatly increasing its damage potential, however, it pales in comparison to the [[Viper MkIII]] so a [[Bounty Hunter]] or [[Pirate]] may find it more viable. The top hardpoint is very effective when turreted and can help deal with tricky nimble ships; especially as if the bottom hardpoints are also turreted the ship will have a full 360 range of its surrounding space due to its size, where an [[Eagle]] with its single [[Chaff Launcher]] will have little room to hide.

As a [[Miner]] the Adder is the best ship available at its price range and will do very well until the [[Cobra MkIII]] becomes an option. Its medium hardpoint lets it carry a class 2 [[Mining Laser]], and the two small hardpoints can be swapped out for very fast mining speed; at the sacrifice of any offense. The Adder also has a respectable amount of compartment space, enough to carry a decent amount of ores, however, one may have to go without [[Collector Drone|Collector Limpets]] to maximize cargo space.

For [[Explorer|exploration]], the Adder can reach heights of around 32LYs. While this is far smaller than the [[Hauler]], keep in mind the Adder has a better [[FSD]], which means it can take more weight without losing as much range; thus the Adder is a more appealing ship for long-range trading or [[Rare Goods]] trade. Additionally, the Adder has a better fuel tank and more compartment space; meaning the Adder can make more jumps without nearby fuel stars and needs refuelling less.

Its inexpensiveness and respectable general-purpose capabilities make it a rugged, attractive craft, especially for newer commanders. Unlike many other ships, the Adder has no notable downsides and can perform any job needed with relative effectiveness. The Adder still performs well as an exploration vessel even late game or for rare goods trade.

The weapon hardpoints are located as follows: 2 small hardpoints on the underside of the ship, 1 medium hardpoint on the top of the ship behind the cockpit. Additionally, the wings exhibit a small hinge which allows them to fold inwards when the landing gear is deployed. It is assumed to be to allow the Adder to fit onto small landing pads. The pilot's chair is offset to the right of the centerline. Additionally the Adder is capable of Multi-crew, and is the cheapest ship capable of such. A single seat is available adjacent to the pilots seat, in a fashion nearly identical to a modern automobile.

{{quote|The Type-7 Transporter is a freighter that occupies a position between the smaller Type-6 Transporter and the larger Type-9 Heavy. The ship's notable jump range and comparatively low price point range make it a good option for aspiring traders. |In-Game Description}}
The '''Type-7 Transporter''' is a large freighter produced by [[Lakon Spaceways]]. A dedicated trading vessel with a classic design, the Type-7 was Lakon Spaceway’s first-produced vessel released in 3290 and is currently the cheapest large-sized ship on the market. It’s slow, but moves a lot of tonnage for its size and occupies a niche between the smaller [[Type-6 Transporter]] and the larger [[Type-9 Heavy]] in terms of overall cargo capacity. Although its cargo capacity is unimpressive compared to other large ships, such as the [[Type-9 Heavy]], the Type-7's appeal lies in its relatively low purchase cost for its size and its moderate jump range, making it a highly-accessible option for trading.

==Overview==
The Type-7 is a bulky trader and is the next step for a trader, up from the [[Type-6]]. It features far better cargo capacity at nearly thrice the amount. Due to the Type-7 requiring a large [[Landing Pad]], it cannot dock at [[Outpost|Outposts]], which somewhat limits its utility compared to medium ships with smaller cargo capacities such as the [[Federal Dropship]] or the [[Alliance Chieftain]]. The Type-7 is the cheapest and smallest large-sized ship in the game.

Repair costs on the Type-7 are low which makes trading without shields a reasonable strategy if you can avoid combat along the way; however, this can be rather risky as the low manoeuvrability rate makes the Type-7 interdiction vulnerable, meaning it is not always guaranteed to evade. However an upside is that the Type-7's rather ludicrous pitch and yaw speed combined with decent base speed lets it get away and make a [[hyperspace]] jump out of combat. Keep in mind the Type-7's mass lock factor is a measly 10; by far the lowest of any large ship and smaller than most medium ships.

In combat, the Type-7, unlike the [[Hauler]] and [[Type-6]], is somewhat viable. With turreted mounts, its decent shields and hull as well as four hardpoints it can pump out fairly high damage, higher than even ships such as the [[Vulture]], and can do a decent job of keeping gimballed and fixed mounts on their targets, and can at the very least make pirates operate with caution. While a dedicated combat Type-7 is ill-advised, it is still capable of combat unlike its predecessors and is a good way of collecting bounties along with cargo until the [[Python]] or [[Type-9]] become available, as both are very capable of combat and trade at the same time.

The Type-7 is a viable exploration ship, with some caveats. With ranges around 30LY, the ship is very capable of long range jumps and can be very good at long range deliveries or [[Rare Goods]] trading. That said, the Type-7 can easily go from 39% heat to nearly 90% just while charging its FSD for a hyperspace jump. This can make fuel scooping a tricky endeavor and the lack of thermal headroom should be kept in mind when fitting the Type-7 for exploration or long-distance travel.

The Type-7 is also a viable [[miner]] as it has enough hardpoints to mine effectively and more than enough compartment and cargo space to hold minerals and ores. It will be virtually incapable at defending itself however so in this situation a [[Keelback]] may be more useful. It also lacks the needed class 2 hardpoint mount for deep core mining.

Overall the Type-7 is a dedicated trader just like the T-6 though has some other merits worth mentioning. It is a good stepping stone towards the end-game trader the Type-9 and has a reasonable price tag for its uses.

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. A word of caution in the Type-7 is to keep in mind the cockpit is at the bottom front of the ship with a large area of the ship directly above the pilot. It is very common for pilots to crash the Type-7 into the mail slot due to this.

== 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.
* Oddly, the Type-7 has the highest base yaw speed of any jump capable ship. This particularly bizarre due to the ships very low mobility stats otherwise.
* The Type-7 is tied with the [[Diamondback Scout]] for the lowest amount of [[Livery]] options available (excluding the [[Cobra MkIV]]), with only three paint packs each and no ship kits.
* The Type-7 is the only large ship incapable of [[Multicrew]], as well as the only one to have no hardpoints above Class 1.
* The Type-7 has the smallest volume of any ship to be classed as Large, at around 116275M<sup>3</sup>. In fact, it has a small enough width and length to fit rather comfortably onto a medium landing pad, however, it is just ''slightly'' too tall to fit within a medium docking bay, being around 2 meters too tall.

== 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.
* Oddly, the Type-7 has the highest base yaw speed of any jump capable ship. This particularly bizarre due to the ships very low mobility stats otherwise.
* The Type-7 is tied with the [[Diamondback Scout]] for the lowest amount of [[Livery]] options available (excluding the [[Cobra MkIV]]), with only three paint packs each and no ship kits.
* The Type-7 is the only large ship incapable of [[Multicrew]], as well as the only one to have no hardpoints above Class 1.
* The Type-7 has the smallest volume of any ship to be classed as Large, at around 116275M<sup>3</sup>. In fact, it has a small enough width and length to fit rather comfortably onto a medium landing pad, however, it is just ''slightly'' too tall to fit within a medium docking bay, being around 2 meters too tall.
