{{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 (Freighter class vessel) 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. Additionally, the Type-7 has the highest base yaw speed of any jump capable ship.

Discovery Scanner

2014-12-03T10:27:55Z

85.93.199.122: /* Usage */ Replaced "it's" with the correct version "its".

The Discovery Scanner is a unit that fits inside of a internal compartment and allows you to scan for unknown astronomical objects within a certain radius of your ship.

All vessels come with a basic discovery scanner fitted as standard however there are 3 levels of Discovery Scanners:
* Basic Discovery Scanner - Has a 500 LS range and costs 1,000 CR
* Intermediate Discovery Scanner - Has a 1000 LS range and costs ~500,000 CR
* Advanced Discovery Scanner - Has a system-wide range and costs ~1,500,000 CR
== Usage[[Category:Equipment]] ==
The Discovery Scanner needs to be assigned to a fire group and can be triggered in both super cruise and normal space. The assigned control to trigger the scanner must be held down in order to charge the unit. It will tell you when the scan is complete. In addition, if you pass extremely close to an astronomical body it will automatically discover the object.

As the basic/intermediate scanners have a limited range you will not necessarily find all the astronomical bodies by triggering it just once. (The advanced scanner will discover everything). You may need to scout the system to discover additional astronomical bodies. This can be achieved by travelling very fast (over 30c is best) and looking for moving objects from your side/top windows on the static backdrop. When you see moving objects, head towards them until you get them within the maximum range of your scanner and trigger it to discover them.

Once you discover the objects they will initially appear in your Navigation panel as "UNEXPLORED" (discovered but not scanned) and you will need to get close enough for your ship to automatically scan them to get further information. The distance you need to get to the object in order for the automatic scan to begin depends on its size. Stars may be automatically scanned from over 1,000 LS away but small moons may require you to be within 10 LS or even closer. Once you are close enough and have the "UNEXPLORED" object selected you will see it begin scanning and the name will eventually change from "UNEXPLORED" to a more appropriate name based upon its position in the system. You will also see further information on the body in the system map.

Although not necessary, it is beneficial to also have the [[Detailed Surface Scanner]] to maximise your profits as this gains additional information such as the atmosphere type and composition of the astronomical body. '''(You need both, not one or the other).'''
