Biggest cargo ship?

[Vyrex]

Whats the biggest carog ship that you can customize to but not taking shield out cause iirc the cutter is acutally bigger than the T9 if you take the shield out. But since i cant buy the cutter and i dont like the T9 anyways whats the next biggest cargoship?

Anaconda?

Good morning!
I think its the T10 , awesome brutal ship...

Helps decide what ship you want

If you are not running a shield it is the Imperial Cutter. Otherwise wanting to run a shield like you said it is the type-9. If you need to land on small stations with the max landing pad size being a medium then the Python.

Yeah but whats the largest cargo ship size after the Cutter and T9? Cause i dont like the T9´s look i rather get a ship withi slightly less cargo space but somethign i enjoy flying and looking at and i cant get the cutter anyways yet.

Go to the link provided above. Look at max cargo per ship.

Don't think only about the size, also think about the deliverability. You need a ship that can get through pirates to deliver your cargo to its destination. A bit less of successfully delivered cargo is much more profitable than a lot of cargo lost to pirates.

Biggest cargo ship is the fleet carrier. 25,000 tons of goodness.

Check Inara for base information about price / mauverability how it looks like:

More detailed info as was mentioned above can be found on Coriolis:

For example Best trading ship is definitely Imperial Cutter but it requires lots of ingeneering for thrusters + Frame Shift drive + Guardian frame shift booster.
Insane 500+ m/s max speed (easy to flee from combat) and awesome jump range (47l.y. empty and 35l.y. with 760t cargo) makes it Best cargo ship[coriolis.io] with no alternatives.
Only weak spot is shields. Smallest shield Cutter can equip is 6 size. So you need to choose 64t of additional cargo or shield protection.
If you want to trade - Cutter is your choise.

T9 has the same ammount of cargo but alot slower (if you were interdicted most definitely you will losse your ship).

Python can carry something about 300t of cargo but can land on Outposts (medium landing pads)

Other ships are awefull as traders (small jump range or small cargo hold)

The T9 is awesome, plus the biggest money maker I've had, shame you really don't want it.

Aside from the Cutter, the Corvette is the one with the biggest cargo with shield.
T10 holds less cargo than the Vette, with or without shield.
Then is the Anaconda.
For medium pads, the Python is king.

Get the T9

Corvette, though the grind for the cutter rank isn't long if you run data delivery missions between Mainani (Mies van der Rohe's Claim) and Ngalinn.

Jump with your carrier, then ferry goodies to and from station... Rinse & repeat...Watch the creds roll in...

Yep, and an unshielded T9 or Cutter only has to be in Supercruise for about 5 seconds.

"That's the haul I've been ..."

Sometimes the pirates actually drop out of SC with me, close to the carrier. If I'm fed up with their banter I hover about just outside the no fire zone, and if they open up I move about 200m closer to the carrier, which then vapourises them.
