{{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 '''{{PAGENAME}}''', one of three 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 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 {{PAGENAME}} 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 {{PAGENAME}} can be equally good at hauling commodities long distances.

The {{PAGENAME}} has also found a niche as an exploration vessel; when stripped of all unnecessary weight and stocked with an upgraded frame shift drive, the {{PAGENAME}} 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 quite a bit more expensive than the [[Cobra]] 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%). As of v1.2, this tendency has been corrected and the ship now runs much cooler, making it less likely that modules suffer heat damage.

==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, 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.
