Heavy Freighter

A Heavy Freighter carries enough supplies and cargo to help establish a new station. It cannot create a physical planet.

Base statistics

Property	Value
Structural integrity	50,000
Shield	200
Attack	50
Speed	5,500
Cargo capacity	250,000
Fuel coefficient	150

These are base values before research. Structural integrity is not battle hull: combat uses one tenth of integrity. Fuel is a coefficient for the flight calculation, not a fixed price per trip.

Construction

Resource	Base cost per unit
Metal	30,000
Crystal	20,000
Deuterium	10,000

Requirements: Shipyard 4.

Material Physics reduces the resource price. Use the construction screen for the modified quote and timer. Ship construction also costs Credits from this galaxy’s wallet; check the full quote before ordering.

Use and limitations

Choose an available station slot at a physical planet where you do not already own a station. There are four slots per physical planet. Your starting station counts toward your empire limit: Astrophysics 1 gives two total stations, not unlimited expansion. A successful establishment consumes one Heavy Freighter and delivers carried supplies; surviving escorts return. Research purchases use RP. See station rules and Astrophysics.

Drive research modifies fleet speed. Its level-one bonus grows through completed research tiers, not fixed additions each level. Hyperspace Technology modifies cargo.

Rapidfire is a chance of another shot after a hit, not a guaranteed number of kills. See rapidfire and test important matchups in the simulator.
