Introduction
There are four overarching classes of cargo, which different ware types fit into:
- Container (higher-end items like ship components).
- Energy (Antimatter, Energy, Ion and Plasma Cells).
- Bulk (stuff like minerals and refined materials).*
- Liquid (Hydrogen, Ions, Plasma and Water).*
*Note that Mining Ships may also trade Bulk and Liquid wares if not equipped with mining drones.
There are 19 trade ships capable of carrying Container wares, although 8 are also able to carry at least one other cargo type. Eighteen are designated as "Trade" whereas the Phoenix Marauder is a "Fight" ship (see here for info on the significance of that). For Energy, Bulk and Liquid, there is one less ship because the Sanahar only comes in a Container class.
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 the above-mentioned ships can be found in the tables below, and notes on trends and outliers follow.

1. Full price estimated to be hull+SEs+crew+drones:
- Hull: Encyclopaedia base price (approximately equal to 2 x sum cost of all components at their base price).
- SE (Surface Elements): Sold by shipyards at approximately 2 x base costs (1 Capital Field Generator = 3 FFPs).
- Crew: 240 k Cr assumed for L/XL ships (65k Captain; 35k Engineer; 140k DO), or 30k for a Pilot.
- Drones: 1.6 M Cr assumed for L/XL ships (5 constructors, 10 Cargo, and 5 Intie. Mk I).
Merged: The cargobays of the Lepton and Hermod have no restrictions on what amount of ware types they carry.
Segregated: The twin-storage versions of Rahanas and Styrvok hulls can only carry set amounts of both ware types. The Scaldis is the same but can carry set amounts of any ware type.
Table changelog
Date | Change | Notes |
---|---|---|
20.02.2016 | Improved hull cost estimates | Switched hull cost to encyclopaedia base price from 'cost of wares' |
Corrected SE cost estimates | Shipyards sell SEs at 2x their base cost and now this table does too | |
21.03.2016 | Fixed multi-storage Styrvok stats. | Corrected tables to use segregated storage instead of merged |
