- The Terran Freighter features the word "Cargo" on either side of the rear engine panels. Its the only Freighter of any faction to do so.
- Terran freighters will only appear in Terran, Mido and Nivelian Systems.
Freighters are responsible for transporting goods between systems. They are defenseless and require fighter escorts to defend against raiders and Pirates. They sometimes carry valuable loot, which could be sold for extra money.
Terran freighters have designs similar to all of their ships, they have a pair of 4 engines on the sides and feature multiple antennas, carries 3 cargo containers. There is also a small raised part of the ship on top with fins and on the engines, which really makes them have a resemblance to a submarine.
Vossk freighters look very similar to Terran freighters in terms of shape and design configurations. They have large blade-shaped wings on the front like all Vossk ships and and zig-zag patterns on the back of the whole freighter. If you removed the containers then it would have a strong resemblance to the S-64 Skycrane.
Nivelian freighters are a little unique, they have their bridge all the way at the back instead of the front unlike all other freighters, it is raised up and separated from the containers. The engines are in the back instead of the sides. They have a resemblance to real life cargo ships, where as the containers is the hull and the ship itself is the superstructure.
Midorian freighters look broken and rusted, they look like their connected to multiple parts, large cargo containers are held up by hooks on the sides of the hull. They have engines place horizontally on the sides and a cockpit drooping down like their ships. They have some resemblance to World War II era aircraft such as the B-17 Flying Fortress.
