Template:Quote The Hauler is a light freighter ship manufactured by Zorgon Peterson. Although it is not designed for combat, as it is slow for its size, poorly protected, and can only wield a single small hardpoint, its large cargo hold and relatively low price make it an excellent option for traders just starting their careers and seeking to upgrade from the Sidewinder MkI. Despite having more cargo space than the Sidewinder, however, the Hauler is still better suited for trading rare commodities rather than general goods.
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 and Eagle, it is still a very low amount and won't allow for much profit with regular goods.
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 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 stations and is a very easy target for pirates.
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. Combined with its low Mass Lock dodging 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 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.
