Type-6 Transporter
The Lakon Type-6 Transporter, one of three freighters manufactured by Lakon Spaceways, is a freighter vessel mainly used for trading and hauling commodities throughout the galaxy. This ship uses medium-sized landing platforms and, unlike both of Lakon's larger trading vessels, thus may still dock at Outposts. Due to the focus on carrying capacity and jump range the Lakon Type 6 is not adept at combat and it is thus advisable for traders to avoid entering any combat situation without an escort.
When fitted for maximum cargo capacity, which can reach 112 tons, many traders find that the Lakon Type 6 becomes quite suited for trading standard commodities in bulk rather than hauling rare commodities long distances. After upgrading the Frame Shift Drive to increase its jump range, the Lakon Type 6 can be equally good at hauling rare commodities long distances as it is hauling standard commodities in bulk for short distances.
The Lakon Type 6, oddly enough, has also found a niche as an exploration vessel; when stripped of all combat-related modules and stocked with an upgraded FSD, the Type 6 can reach jump ranges comparable to the Asp Explorer at a much lower cost, though is significantly less capable of defending itself should it encounter a hostile vessel, and is still quite a bit more expensive than the Cobra which can also be used for exploration.
