Freighters: IVY now offers all freighters, not just obelisks
Line 85: Line 85:
Freighters are subject to certain restrictions: they cannot jettison cargo into a can in space, and the only wrecks they can loot are the wrecks of other freighters. Assembled containers and assembled secure containers cannot be put in a freighter's cargo hold, so that pilots can't use containers to increase freighters' cargo capacity in the same way that they're used to increase the capacity of [[Industrial|industrials]].

Use Freighters for huge cargo through high sec and very short distances into low sec. These require proper support (someone to web for faster aligns, scouts, preferably some EW). <!-- (TODO: Describe the proper support fully) --> Remember that the Uni [[Freighter Production|provides at-cost Obelisks]] to Uni members.

The four Tech 1 freighters are good for carrying very large amounts of cargo in high security space. They align and warp too slowly to be safely used in lowsec or nullsec. Freighters are very tough, but they are definitely ''not'' immune to suicide ganking -- organised and prepared groups of gankers can and do kill freighters.
