Type-7 Transporter
The Type-7 Transporter, previously known as "Freighter 3", is a large and moderately armed freighter. It is one of four freighters produced by Lakon Spaceways, the others being the smaller Type-6 Transporter and the Keelback, 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 dedicated trade ship (Freighter class vessel) 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.
The weapon hardpoints are located as follows: Two forward mounted Class 1 small hardpoints next to the cockpit (one on each side, visible from cockpit), One underside mounted Class 1 small hardpoint located amidships and off-center to the right, and One top mounted Class 1 small hardpoint located amidships. The top and bottom hardpoints have a full hemisphere of clear lines of fire making them good places for turrets, while the two front mounted hardpoints are mostly suited for fixed and gimballed weapons.
Note: As of v1.4.01 it is possible to overheat and do module damage to a stock T-7 if the frame-shift drive is charged for a jump to supercruise or hyperspace but not throttled up/aligned for a jump.

Location of utility mounts
- The 1st is in the left cutout on top of the ship.
- The 2nd is in the right cutout on top of the ship.
- The 3rd is on the bottom of the ship where the right wing connects to the body.
- The 4th is on the bottom of the ship where the left wing connects to the body.
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.
