ok im asking this ? in both venilla and dlc which is the strungest trade the and the biggest hold reason i ask is i saw 1 in a wiki but i can never find it plus that wiki has not been updated with the dlc

The strongest trade ship is the Lyramekron from OL galaxy.has 200ish cargo hold space too and can carry most items,container/bulk ect.

Largest hold = Lyranea
Best firepower of freighters = Lyramekron

and thats even over the titurel i would think that is the most powerful but thats a non buildabale

Titurel is an okay universal tradeship that has enough defenses to swat small fighter wings.

I'd query if it gets reflagged in the future or not based upon how the negative rep system works.

-10 non-aggressive hostile (Stations will not deal with you or your ships)
-20 All combat ships are attacked (Tradeships seem to get ignored)
-25? Every ship/object owned by a faction is attacked if in range.

If it changes from "Tradeship" to something that flags it as being pirate capable due to Universal wares, the capacity it has and weapon system, then you could find it getting shot by factions that you have low rep with.

The Lyramekron can solo a zenon k and a wing or 2 of fighters, the tituriel is probably the easyest to cap for what it gives, but the Lyramekron has twice the weapon systems. hard to cap and pretty expensive.

Cargo hold, weapons, speed, cargo type (container, bulk, universal etc.), there are many choices when choosing a ship for trading, I prefer a compromise between cargo hold and speed, my Rahanas take half the time to fulfil trade orders compared to my Titurels, of course the Titurel has universal cargo hold, but I rather make a quick buck than not having to worry about the right cargo type ship.

start with rahanas then move to bigger ones i have 7 trade ships in my fleet 2 universal 1 vulture energy 1 fedhem rest rahanas. my stations always have rahanas

[hawlk2004]

yea if im doing something in zone im doing mediums but sector and systym wide im needing but if going out of a gaurded area im looking at the titurels for there firepower with combat drones i think that is a beast is 1 moving around till they fix it

Sahanar is better than any other capship however. Same cargobay as Rahanas, but the speed is almost 100 m/s, and the ship is very small. Ideal for everything except automatic station supplies. Heck, I even use the Sahanar as my pirate freighter, it collects goods which were ejected from ships/stations after hacking, and thanks to the speed it escaped many Ks and Titurels.

you mentioned this in another thread if I recall, since I dont board anymore I have no use but I would use a sanahar like this if I still did

[Chew Ass and Kick Bubblegum]

I don't board, I hack, empty and escape :)

Like a lot of "what's best" questions in this game, the real answer is "it all depends". 8-)

There are enough ways to do things, that it does depend on how you want to do it and what you want to do...

But ask if you need info, here or in the Egosoft.com forums. This game has good forums.
