Type: A2 - Far Trader
While normally a modified free trader, the far trader
has a series of modifications that have become
accepted as standard and many free traders are
either modified to this specification or are built this
way from new. The far trader swaps cargo space
and low berths for a larger jump drive and fuel tank, allowing it to reach systems a basic free trader
cannot travel to. While less cargo can mean less
profits, the ability to reach further systems or to
travel between stars at a faster rate can more than
make up for this in the hands of a clever captain.
