Tradewars Ship Selection

Heavy Freighters

CargoTran (ANSI)

Cargotran

With 125 maximum holds, the CargoTran can raise cash quickly for you. The ship can carry 400 fighters and 1,000 shields for defense.

Stats:			Combat Odds - 0.8:1
Max Holds: 125	Max Fighters: 400	Max Shields: 1000	Turns to Move: 4

KOZAK'S ADVICE: I do not advise buying this ship. Its competitor, the Taurean Mule beats it with 150 holds. The CargoTran has slightly higher combat odds than the Mule, but if you are piloting a heavy freighter, those few decimal points will not do you any good against a well-armed Pirate or Ferrengi.

Colonial Transport

The Colonial Transport (Colt) is the largest ship in terms of Holds (250) and has an immense mass to pilot. This is also one of the weakest ships in battle. The ship is a favorite for Evil players to use for robbing Ports. No long-range scanner is available for this ship, which leaves you flying blind.

Stats:			Combat Odds - 0.6:1
Max Holds: 250	Max Fighters: 200	Max Shields: 500	Turns to Move: 6

KOZAK'S ADVICE: Do not buy one early in the game. Wait until you have established yourself in a dead end or bubble with an advanced planet for defense. This ship will be an excellent addition to your Corporate Fleet, for planet trading of Soylent Green (organics).

Taurean Mule

A great trading ship, although weak in battle. Most game players will select this as an intermediate ship, after selling off their Merchant Cruiser or Merchant Freighter. Full scanning capability.

Stats:			Combat Odds - 0.5:1
Max Holds: 150	Max Fighters: 300	Max Shields: 500	Turns to Move: 4

KOZAK'S ADVICE: Buy this ship as soon as you can afford one. The Mule will raise the majority of your cash until you are ready to get Commissioned or turn Evil.
