Type-7 Transporter
The Type-7 Transporter, previously known as "Freighter 3", is a large and moderately armed freighter. It is one of three freighters produced by Lakon Spaceways, the others being the smaller Type-6 Transporter and the larger Type-9 Heavy. While it has the potential to defend itself from small ships, the 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 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 Type-6 Transporter instead as it is the biggest freighter that can dock at outposts.
Repair costs on the Type-7 is low which makes trading without shields a reasonable strategy if you can avoid combat along the way.

Trivia
- The Type-7 Transporter has the same yaw and pitch speeds, which means it can turn side-to-side just as fast as it can adjust up and down on the nose. This offsets the low manoeuvrability rating when it comes to docking manually, as it has a similar yaw speed to much smaller ships such as the Eagle or Adder.
