The Type A2 class Far Trader is a further development of the venerable Type A.
- A prominent production run of this type is manufactured by Ling-Standard Products.
- Its QSP is Far Trader (A2-BS12).

Description (Specifications)
Description: Using a 200-ton TL-10 streamlined hull, it has drives capable of Jump-2 and 1-G acceleration. Fuel tankage supports Jump-2 and two months of operation, and the ship incorporates fuel scoops and fuel intakes for wilderness refueling. The bridge is standard and has a computer Model/ 1bis and a basic sensor suite. There are two hardpoints, but no weapons are mounted. Like the free trader, the far trader is built around its cargo bay, in this case 78.0 tons, plus passenger staterooms. A single air/raft is carried for various ship duties. The ship is streamlined, and can land on uneven terrain. [1]
Crew Dossier: The far trader requires a crew of four: pilot/astrogator, two engineers, and steward. [2]
