The '''Hauler''' is a small [[Ships|ship]] produced by [[Zorgon Peterson]]. Built with a classic shuttle-style design, its relatively large cargo hold and low price make it an excellent light freighter for [[Trader|traders]] just starting their careers and seeking to upgrade from the [[Sidewinder Mk I]]. It is slow for its size, however, as well as poorly armed and armored, characteristics which place it at a severe disadvantage in [[combat]] situations and significantly reduce its effectiveness in other roles. Furthermore, despite having more cargo capacity than the Sidewinder, the Hauler still tops out at 26t, making it better suited for trading [[List of Rare Commodities|rare commodities]] rather than general goods due to the former's higher profit potential in small quantities. For most pilots, purchasing a Hauler is a short-term investment on the path to obtaining other, more versatile vessels.

{{quote|The Hauler is Zorgon Peterson's low-level entry in the freighter market and has been a big success. A large cargo capacity (for its size), cheap purchase price and low running costs have made these the most popular small cargo ships in human space.|In-Game Description}}
The '''Hauler''' is a light freighter [[ships|ship]] with a large cargo hold for a relatively low price. It is not suited at all for [[combat]]; it is slow for its size, poorly armoured and shielded, and features only a single small weapon [[hardpoint]].


The Hauler is the starting point of most [[trader]]s' careers; it is the first step up from the Sidewinder that is not a combat-oriented ship and not much more expensive than one. Despite having more cargo space than the Sidewinder, the ship is still better suited to the trading of [[List of Rare Commodities|rare commodities]] rather than general goods.
==Overview==
==Overview==
The pilots seat is situated at the front of the ship with a standard view. A single class 1 [[hardpoint]] is located at the bottom of the nose while 2 utility slots are situated atop  the rear of the ship
The Hauler, as its name suggests, was designed to haul cargo for a cheap price and is the trader's equivalent to the [[Eagle]] with a capacity of 26T. While this is much better than the [[Sidewinder Mk I]] and Eagle, it is still a very low amount and makes it difficult to earn anything more than a small profit from trading runs with regular commodities.


The Hauler; as its name suggests, was designed to haul cargo for a cheap price and is the trader's equivalent to the [[Eagle MkII|Eagle]] with a capacity of 2T. While this is much better than the [[Sidewinder MkI|Sidewinder]] and [[Eagle MkII|Eagle]], it is still a very low amount and won't allow for much profit with regular goods.  
Surprisingly, the Hauler is a standout [[Explorer|exploration]] ship for pilots with very low budgets. With potential jump ranges reaching around 40 ly with engineering, it can easily become an explorer's best friend until they can trade up for something better. Attempting long-term expeditions with the Hauler make its shortcomings all too apparent, however: low compartment space means the largest [[Fuel Scoop]] it can equip is only Class 3, and combined with its small [[Fuel Tank]], pilots can expect frequent long waits while refueling and may be unable to explore areas where fuel stars are few and far between. Furthermore, because the ship is so light, adding even a single ton will drastically reduce its jump range; engineering all internals to be low weight is a must.


The Hauler is, rather surprisingly, an amazing exploration ship. With Jump ranges around 40LY with engineering it can easily become an explorer's best friend. The issue is that its low compartment space means the max [[Fuel Scoop]] available is only class 3 and its fuel tank is very small meaning constant waits at fuel stars as well as being unable to explore areas with few fuel stars in range. Because the ship is so light, adding even a single ton will drastically reduce this range; engineering all internals to be low weight is a must and the Hauler can struggle with long-range deliveries when compared to the [[Adder]].  
The Hauler can be a decent [[Miner|mining]] ship, as it can carry more materials than a Sidewinder or Eagle; but it will mine very slowly due to the single [[hardpoint]]. It is generally advised to wait until the Adder becomes an option before mining is attempted, as the Hauler will be forced to make constant runs back to [[station]]s and is a very easy target for pirates.


The Hauler can be a decent [[Miner|Mining]] ship, as it can carry more materials than a Sidewinder or Eagle; but it will mine very slowly due to the single [[hardpoint]]. It is generally advised to wait until the Adder becomes an option before mining is attempted, as the Hauler will be forced to make constant runs back to [[station|stations]] and is a very easy target for pirates.  
In [[combat]], the Hauler is arguably the least viable option among all ships and [[Ship Launched Fighters]] on the market. With only a single hardpoint, two utility mounts, terrible shielding, and low armor, the Hauler is incapable of defending against even a stock Sidewinder. Combined with its low [[Mass Lock]], dodging [[Interdiction]]s becomes a matter of life and death. Despite this, [[Pirates]] will occasionally fly the Hauler, but these are generally easy pickings for even beginner pilots.


In combat the Hauler is debatably the single worst ship in the game in the role; even including [[Ship Launched Fighters]]. With only a single hardpoint, just 2 utility mounts, terrible shielding and low armor the Hauler is incapable of defending against even a stock [[Sidewinder MkI|Sidewinder]]. Combined with its low [[Mass Lock]] dodging [[Interdiction|Interdictions]] becomes a matter of life and death. Despite this occasional [[Pirates]] will fly the Hauler (and it even comes with pirate [[Paint]] options), which are very unlikely to do very much and are generally easy pickings for even beginner pilots.

The pilots seat is situated at the front of the ship with a standard view. A single Class 1 [[hardpoint]] is located at the bottom of the nose while 2 utility slots are situated atop the rear of the ship.


The Hauler's most notable failing is that it is only slightly less expensive than the [[Adder]], which can carry more cargo than the Hauler while also being capable of defending itself and maintaining more varied capability. While the Adder has less jump-range, it has a better Class [[Fuel Scoop]] and [[Fuel Tank]] as well as not losing as much range with extra weight. It is generally more profitable and viable for traders to simply take a few extra jobs in their Sidewinder and buy an Adder instead; whereas explorers should pick up the Hauler as soon as possible, and Combat pilots should steer clear and pick up the Eagle.
The Hauler's most notable drawback is that it is only slightly less expensive than the [[Adder]], which can carry more cargo than the Hauler while also being capable of defending itself and maintaining more varied capability. While the Adder has less jump-range, it can fit a larger [[Fuel Scoop]] and [[Fuel Tank]], and any added mass has less impact on its jump range. It is generally more profitable and viable for traders to simply take a few extra jobs in their [[Sidewinder Mk I]] and buy an Adder instead, but explorers should pick up the Hauler as soon as possible, and combat pilots should steer clear of both and pick up the [[Eagle]] or [[Viper Mk III]].
