The [[MISC]] '''Freelancer''' is primarily a long-range cargo hauler, designed for shipping major corporations' goods around the 'verse. However, its modularity and versatility, as well as it's considerable firepower, have seen it fill a number of roles including use as a smuggling ship and a long-range explorer. |

* '''[[Freelancer DUR]]''': The Freelancer DUR variant is specialized in exploration. It sacrifices 25% cargo capacity of the standard Freelancer in exchange for an enhanced jump drive, a more advanced scanner, and an expanded fuel tank. This may seem like a bad call to some, but those who value discovery over profit will find it to be their ship of choice. |
