Freelancer

It's like a "pick-up truck" can do everything a car can do, but has a little more space to do some hauling if needed.

This is literally the Freelancer:

Especially the MAX. You could play a game of raquetball in the back and still have room for a large poker table.

You could always dance, drink and get lost while working.

I am a Max man my self all fur coat no knickers.

Awesome Video! Thanks for sharing that.

I wouldn't say it's not a true cargo ship, but it doesn't sacrifice everything else to pack in more cargo space. It's more like a protected cargo ship, for smuggling or precious deliveries.

See, this is what appeals to me. I hate the thought of being completely defenseless out on my own. I want to be able to transfer "acquired" materials out of lawless space, etc. and not worry about getting ambushed.

You can't go wrong with a Freelancer. It's a beautiful ship and it can do almost anything.
I was kind of hoping that the Starfarer turns out crappy so I don't have to CCU my Freelancer to it.

How much longer until we see the re-worked versions of the Freelancer variants? The new Freelancer is amazing.

From what they've said, the variants for any of the ships will be a long time coming. They want/need to get the full functionality of the hull handled first and foremost, before starting to apply variants.

I'm just going to buy the base and probably upgrade it later in game using UEC. Even the base model is pretty awesome.

I like my MIS in hangar and my base in 2.x

The view is crap, but it isn't a fighter.
