Introduction
WIP
There are four overarching classes of cargo, which different ware types fit into:
- Bulk (stuff like minerals and refined materials).
- Container (higher-end items like ship components).
- Energy (Antimatter, Energy, Ion and Plasma Cells).
- Liquid (Hydrogen, Ions, Plasma and Water).
The most lucrative and numerous wares fall into the Container class and as such, this page deals with those initially.
There are currently 18 ships capable of carrying Container wares, although 8 are also able to carry at least one other cargo type. Seventeen are designated as "Trade" whereas the Phoenix Marauder is a "Fight" ship (see here for info on the significance of that). It's worth noting that Titurel is used as a combat vessel by various pirate factions and and the Lyramekron is heavily-armed along the lines of a "Fight" ship.
Statistics for all 18 Container-capable ships can be found in the table below.
