Freighters

Players will have a choice of taking a break from the constant fighting by taking the control of a special class of ship designed to do everything but fight. Freighters are commonly used by the freelance traders, miners and smugglers. They are definitely not famous cause of their agility and firepower, but once they kick it into high-gear, they can get to some decent speeds. Since the SPG Warlords have a special accent on the in game economy, you can earn some serious in game currency if you know which commodity to mine or find, and then sell them in vast amounts. Combined with their increased cargo hold allows them to be quite useful in conducting a lot of business... legal or otherwise.

Additional Information
Combining Freighters with your fleet makes almost no sense if they are not accompanied by the escort that can protect their valuable cargo. One can find the basic firepower on Freighters, but these are mostly used to destroy asteroids in order to mine their resources. They are not as big as Freightliners, but can still carry a lot of resources and can achieve considerable speed. With time, players who focus on economy will earn as much money as players who only focus on chaos and destruction. Remember that the economy features are still being discussed in order to balance them as much as possible.
