Type-7 Transporter
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
Previously known as "Freighter 3", the Lakon Type 7 is a large and moderately armed freighter. It is one of three freighters produced by Lakon Spaceways, the others being the smaller Lakon Type 6 and the larger Lakon Type 9. The Lakon Type 7 is mostly used for trading and performs this role very well - its cargo capacity and jump range is substantial for its cost. While it has the potential to defend itself from small ships, the Lakon 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 Lakon Type 7 cannot dock at Outposts. For any traders who plan to dock at an Outpost it is recommended that they opt to fly the Lakon Type 6 instead as it is the biggest freighter 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.
