RELATED UNI-WIKI REFERENCES

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.

what's this?
Base Time to Warp is essentially the time needed for this ship to align and accelerate until it reaches 75% of its top speed and goes to warp. The time displayed here is the base calculated time with no account for any warp related skills, modules or any other effects.

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.

Navigation:

Spaceship Command:


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).

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.
