How do you get one? The thunderous booming heard out in space are freighters warping into the star system. Okay, so freighters are great for any number of reasons. Frigates open up new ways to play and are deserving of a guide of their own. Frigates can be sent on expeditions to different star systems to explore, trade, carry out industrial operations and more. The most interesting feature of freighters for many players is that they serve as the hub for a fleet of Frigates. A freighter’s landing bay holds six ships, so if you own more than one, you can bring them all along when you move to a different star system by loading them into your freighter. The Galactic Commission Station has a selection of missions and the Freighter warp map lets you pilot the freighter to other star systems just as you do your Starship. Pressing down on the D-pad brings up the command to call your freighter.įreighters come pre-equipped with several terminals that are located below the glowing orb on the freighter’s bridge. It doesn’t matter where you left the freighter or where you are, the freighter will instantly warp to your location. If you’re in a Starship, it will arrive right next to you. If you’re on a planet, the freighter will arrive a little outside the planet’s atmosphere above you. Speaking of convenience, you don’t have to go to your freighter, it will come to you when you call.
