Caldari State Freighters Charon Class Has Huge Cargohold HIGHLIGHTS RELATED UNI-WIKI REFERENCES EVE Online Ships Overview EXTERNAL LINKS Charon on zKillboard Charon on EVE Workbench Charon on Janice Charon on EVE Ref

As the makers of the Charon, the Caldari State are generally credited with pioneering the freighter class. Recognizing the need for a massive transport vehicle as deep space installations constantly increase in number, they set about making the ultimate in efficient mass transport - and were soon followed by the other empires. Regardless, the Charon still stands out as the benchmark by which the other freighters were measured. Its massive size and titanic cargo hold are rivalled by none. SHIP BONUSES Caldari Freighter bonuses (per skill level): 5% bonus to ship cargo capacity 5% bonus to ship max velocity Role Bonus: 100% reduction in Reinforced Bulkhead CPU requirements 90% reduction to effective distance traveled for jump fatigue Required Skills Caldari Freighter I1h 23m Advanced Spaceship Command V29d 15h 6m Spaceship Command V5d 22h 13m Caldari Hauler III17h 46m Spaceship Command III4h 26m Advanced Spaceship Command I41m Spaceship Command V5d 22h 13m Training Time what's this? 36d 8h 30m 0s Estimated training time only for the listed skills based on zero implants and without neural remaps.

Summary

The Charon has the highest cargo capacity of any freighter in the game, being able to carry 1,247,762 m³ of cargo at Caldari Freighter V when fit with faction modules to maximize cargo. Caldari freighters with Caldari Freighter IV can hold more than any other freighter, even with their respective freighter skills trained to V, so if you want to carry massive amounts of materials, the Charon is the way to go. However, the Charon have absolutely no power nor CPU capacity, and no slots for modules, allowing it to only equip passive modules such as expanded cargohold or microfiber internal structures.

Skills

Since Freighters cannot fit any high or mid slot modules, if you want to focus primarily on flying freight there are only a handful of support skills that will matter.

Tanking:

• Mechanics - Adds Structure (Hull) hit points.

• Hull Upgrades - Adds Armor hit points.

• Shield Management - Increases shield capacity.
• Shield Operation - Reduces shield recharge time.
• Tactical Shield Manipulation - Reduces shield damage penetration when shields are less than 25%.

Navigation:

• Evasive Maneuvering - Increases ship agility (time to align).
• Navigation - Increase sub-warp velocity.
• Warp Drive Operation - Decrease capacitor use per jump.

Spaceship Command:

• Caldari Freighter to V - Maxes out Charon cargo capacity and velocity.

Not absolutely necessary, but helpful:

Neural Enhancement:

• Cybernetics IV - Allows +4 implants for faster training, allows for Warp and Align implants to improve both.

Trade:

• Contracting - Allows creation of 4 more contracts per level (total of 21 at level V).
  • Advanced Contracting - Allows creation of 4 more contracts per level (total of 41 at level V).

Patch History

A long, long time ago...

April 2022 Version 20.04 Patch notes Renaming of the <Racial> Industrial skills to <Racial> Hauler 18.04 Release - Build: 1706308 - 2020-04-15 - "Surgical Strike" Update (Patch Notes) Suicide Ganking and the Void buff This topic is more complicated to untangle but it is certainly not our intention to make suicide ganking easier or cheaper. While divorcing damage increases from suicide ganking is not simple, we are planning to increase freighter hp while we do some investigation on the current state of high sec ganks. Depending on results from those investigations we will look at further changes if necessary. -CCP Rise, Surgical Strike Update Follow-up Structure HP increased from 77,500 to 93,000 (+15,500 HP, +20%) Armor HP increased from 15,000 to 18,000 (+3,000 HP, +20%) Shield HP increased from 50,000 to 60,000 (+10,000 HP, +20%)

Notes

In ancient Greek mythology, Charon was the ferryman who carried those who died across the River Styx separating the world of the living from the world of the dead.
