{{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 '''Type-6 Transporter''', one of four freighters manufactured by [[Lakon Spaceways]], is mainly used for trading and hauling [[commodities]] throughout the galaxy. This ship has a medium [[Landing Pad|landing pad]] size and, unlike both of Lakon's larger trading vessels, may still dock at [[Outpost]]s. Due to the poor armour and manoeuvrability it is not suited for combat and it is advisable that [[Trader|traders]] avoid entering any combat situation without an escort or upgrading shields / hull.

When fitted for maximum cargo capacity, which can reach 112 tons, many traders find that the Type-6 Transporter 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 Transporter can be equally good at hauling commodities long distances.

The Type-6 Transporter has also found a niche as an exploration vessel; when stripped of all unnecessary weight and stocked with an upgraded frame shift drive, the Type-6 Transporter can reach jump ranges just short of the [[Asp Explorer]] at a much lower cost, though it is significantly less capable of defending itself should it encounter a hostile vessel, and is still almost three times more expensive than the [[Cobra MkIII|Cobra MKIII]], which can also be used for exploration.

Prior to v1.2, the Type-6 had a tendency to run hot - to 100% or greater - making fuel scooping and consecutive hyperspace jumps more risky unless an A-rated power plant was also used (reducing the average maximum heat to 95%). This was especially dangerous because the cargo hatch module tends to take a lot of heat damage which can lead to a malfunction causing cargoes to jettison. As of v1.2, this tendency has been corrected and the ship now runs much cooler, making it less likely to suffer heat damage.

The weapon hardpoints are located as follows: Two bottom mounted Class 1 small hardpoints mounted one on each side of the ship, separated by a central ridge.

==Notes==
* The Class 3 Shield Generator that comes equipped by default is suboptimal for the ship's weight and thus, while it will save on repair costs when bumping into objects, it will not hold up very well against an attack. It is recommended to replace the default Class 3 Shield Generator with a Class 4 as doing so will greatly increase the shield's strength and will only reduce cargo capacity by 8 Tons.

{{Quote|Only recently discovered, these mysterious artefacts are believed to be probes, but of unknown origin. Their physical appearance makes them likely to be related to the [[Unknown Artefact|unknown artefacts]] discovered in 3301. Such mystery only serves to make these objects more widely sought after by wealthy individuals and organisations alike, no matter that their unidentified status automatically prohibits them from being sold on any legal market.|In-game Description}}

'''Unknown Probes''' are objects of unknown origin and purpose. They are believed to be related to the [[Unknown Artefact]]s, as they are not only similar in design, but possess the same corrosive qualities as the Artefacts. They appear to point to Merope 5 C, the planet where [[Alien Structure|"Barnacles"]] were first found. [[Discovery Scanner|Scanning]] an Unknown Probe will cause it to emit an EMP wave and burst of noise.

On June 26, 3303, it was discovered that Unknown Probes can be used to open doors in [[Thargoid Surface Site]]s, linking the objects to the [[Thargoids]].

==Locations==
You must go to a system and near an Ammonia world. That's where they spawn. The signal source you need to drop into is a degraded emissions threat 2. It must be a threat 2. Sometimes they don't spawn. If these don't spawn after 20 minutes then you can hyperspace jump to leave the system and head back again.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCoSBvTBKug</ref>

They have been found in Convoy Dispersal Patterns (USS) with a Threat Level 4 in the following systems:

* Ross 47
* Wolf 294
* G 99-49

Convoys carrying the Unknown Probe will usually have a Python called "Military Transport" and various strange comms chatter, as well as Anacondas of varying combat ranks. The convoy will most often also carry Meta Alloys and Reactive Armour.

They have also been found orbiting planets with ammonia atmospheres in the Pleiades Sector, at locations marked as Anomalous Signals with Threat Level 2. Systems with such planets include:

* Pleiades Sector KC-U b3-1 (Planet #8) (Found 9/20/2017)

==Timeline==
[[File:The Unknown Probe shut down my ships! And Talked...|thumb|330x330px]]
On July 18, 3302 CMDR Rizal made use of the Advanced Discovery Scanner in the presence of an Unknown Probe after targeting it. The Unknown Probe responded by turning on its lights, charging and releasing an EMP shockwave, which in turn briefly knocked out CMDR Rizal's HUD (supposedly to grab his attention). This was accompanied by an audio burst; the Unknown Probe finally "spoke".

The forums were quick to respond, decoding the audio from the video and suggesting various experiments.A map has been drawn from the audio, showing a globe and possible coordinates. With the Unknown Probe pointing at Merope 5 C, many CMDRs are now on the hunt to find the next clue.

On August 17, 3302, the first free-floating Unknown Probe was discovered orbiting Pleiades Sector KC-U b3-1 8, a planet with an ammonia atmosphere, at an "Anomalous Signal" point of interest. This was quickly followed by additional Unknown Probe finds above other ammonia worlds in nearby systems. Finding the Probes above ammonia worlds is significant because it potentially ties the Probes to the [[Thargoids]], who are believed to have originated on an ammonia world.

On August 20, 3302, the Unknown Probe transmission was [https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/57b6f11a9657baec6b4f8624 fully decoded] and revealed to contain planetary data such as radius, surface temperature, gravity and atmospheric composition. This transmission was directed at an unknown receiver on Merope 5C. In addition, the transmission included distance data that, when triangulated, was found to have been measured from the star system Col 70 Sector FY-N C21-3, which is within a group of permit-locked systems that players cannot currently access. It is believed Col 70 Sector FY-N C21-3 may be the origin point of all Unknown Probes, and contain the homeworld of their creators.
