It's based on the Type 6 frame but with extra weapon hardpoints. It has a reduced cargo capacity to support a higher class of powerplant, and can even accomodate a fighter bay. Its durability is improved by better defence capabilities for armour and shields. Its similiar silhouette to the Type 6 makes it a suitable vessel for commerce raiding or convoy support.|In-game description}}The '''Keelback''' is a freighter ship with enhanced combat capabilities based on a Type-6 Transporter chassis. It debuted in the 1.5 "Ships" update on December 2015. It was first mentioned in a list from the ''Answers from the Devs'' where it said it is an upcoming ship.<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=191898&page=3&p=2952777#post2952777 Answers from the Devs 15/10/15]</ref> | ||
As this had never been heard of, people speculated that it was an alternative name to the [[Panther Clipper]].
