Biggest freighter and where to find it

[Naewyng]

Which is the biggest freighter in the game? I'm talking about the model, like the visually largest one :D

Also would like it S class with the best possible stats, if possible xD

[Rexxer]

I'm guessing you really mean capital ship. There are lists of some which have been found. The wiki even has some places listed under "starship catalogue - freighter". But nearly every organized multiplayer region in the various galaxies also publishes pages showing their discoveries, including planets with known freighter types.

[Naewyng]

So which one is bigger, the Resurgent (biggest horizontal kind of freighter) or the dreadnought (biggest vertical kind of freighter)?

I recall the max freighter slot size is 34 and it only gets that high in class S ships. Whether you get that much is a matter of luck. That is why people "hunt" ships....basically repeatedly flying to a system to see if the max slot S class ship of their dreams has spawned.

No, I'm talking about the model size, how big the ship is from the outside :)

That is subjective, choose what you like to look at.

How can it be subjective? The 3d models have an exact volume xD and I'd like the biggest one.
That's what I like to look at: a massive spacecraft :D

Anybody? xD

It is a choice between flat and wide or long and thin. I have always ended up with the long and thin variety and it looks plenty big to me. I never seen two different kinds side by side...but my guess is they are very similar in size.

The Dreadnought or Resurgent classes are the biggest ones

[Naewyng]

Ahhh but that's the thing, I want the objectively bigger one xD

[Psyclos]

Each capital ship has a number of spherical pods along its sides - the largest will have the largest number of such pods - 6, I think

Hehe.. this game has yet to draw the attention of 3D modelers that do size comparisons like ED or SW and pretty much any other space IP's. Well none that I seen. Other a few scattered in yeggi. Maybe email MetaBallStudios since they do that really well.
I have a feel only NMS devs really know the mass.

I personally feel the largest Venator capital freighter has the most "presence " when flying outside it.

This is mine, not sure if it's the largest or if there is one size bigger. I have a base in a system one jump away because I did the reload grind for a day and half trying to get an S

S class 34 slots- so top of the line....not sure of the type name.
