This [[Free Trader]] is based on the assumption that spec-trade is where the money is. They do not carry passengers (since passengers can hijack your ship, or otherwise make nuisances of themselves). It is built as cheaply as possible (which, oddly enough, means they are [[TL-15]]). And it is designed for minimum operating expense (so fuel purifiers are part of the ship, even though it raises the cost slightly). The power plant does NOT have to operate at full output unless necessary (if you dislike that assumption, then split it into a 125MW plant (for housekeeping), and a 280MW plant (for M-drive)). Specifically, the M-drive does NOT have to operate during the 7 days in jump.

The Type TC(S) class Free Trader is a civilian Free Trader.

Description

This Free Trader is based on the assumption that spec-trade is where the money is. They do not carry passengers (since passengers can hijack your ship, or otherwise make nuisances of themselves). It is built as cheaply as possible (which, oddly enough, means they are TL-15). And it is designed for minimum operating expense (so fuel purifiers are part of the ship, even though it raises the cost slightly). The power plant does NOT have to operate at full output unless necessary (if you dislike that assumption, then split it into a 125MW plant (for housekeeping), and a 280MW plant (for M-drive)). Specifically, the M-drive does NOT have to operate during the 7 days in jump.
