Jump Freighters: Difference between revisions

Line 4:

Jump freighters are the [[Tech 2]] industrial [[Freighter]] ships that use [[Jump_drives#Cynosural_Fields|cynosural fields]] to move between systems, which allows ships to move around the universe in nullsec and lowsec without the use of [[stargates]]. Jump Freighters contribute notably to the availability of modules and items into the outreaches of the universe, and represent the way those items are primarily moved between empire space, nullsec, and player-staged systems. For a well-experienced pilot, they are also one of the most safe ways to transport goods into and through the harshest conditions. For most people however, it is best suited to contract the services of reputable player-operated hauling services, or lean on their corporation-provided jump freighter services should they offer them.

Jump freighters get 5% bonuses to cargo capacity and agility per level of the pilot's racial freighter skill, and 10% bonuses to shield, armor and hull hitpoints for each level the pilot has in {{sk|Jump Freighters}}. The Jump Freighters skill also gives them a 10% per level reduction in jump fuel needs.

Jump freighters have much larger potential tanks than freighters when properly fit, but at the cost of a much reduced cargo bay. All jump freighters can exceed 500,000 EHP in tank, which makes ganking them in highsec extraordinarily difficult and expensive. At the same time their value makes them attractive targets for gankers.

The four Jump Freighters are:

* {{Sh|Ark}}

* {{Sh|Rhea}}

* {{Sh|Anshar}}

* {{Sh|Nomad}}

Before getting started with Jump Freighters, you should already have a comfortable familiarity with hauling concepts and the mechanics of operating Freighter-class ships. This article should be considered an advanced guide that is built on-top of a number of existing articles, and it’s recommended that you become familiar with general hauling concepts before focusing on the content in this guide:
