wow..it goes ion 9. big deal.
the gal freighter goes ion 8 and has nearly 6x the cargo capacity.
and no matter what ship you have, infimp is faster :P
You forgot one thing...You can't IMP with cargo :( I need something fast to improve trade... Before I bought the thing I hade a 10t cargo extension that I bought for 610crds
duh, no kidding, you can't imp with cargo.
i brought up imping because i can't imagine somebody useing an x-fighter for transering with its low armor and low capacity.

wow, a 10t expansion. congrats. now you can go ion 9 with 15t of cargo.
its still more worthwhile to go about the same speed with 39t cargo :P
plus, i think gal freighters have more armor so can feel safer during long trade runs
I have no clue where to get one and I never knew they existed. :( I need trading buddies that can help me find a good rotute to trade...I mean people. I do poorly all alone. See! I made a bad chocie to buy the x-fighter. I need people to give me advice before I do something stupid!

hmmm....
galfreighter's not a bad wee ship, especially for the price. if trading's your thing, is definately a good purchase, until ya can afford a stellar freighter, that is :)

If you use your finite probability drive (FiPro - third icon down on the left of your cockpit) you can get to Ariya, where you'll find what you need. The last time I looked there were cargo extensions at Zoric station too.

Your English is good, by the way :)

last time I checked (and I think its a post of mine you're referring to) - it was 22 (there was some confusion at the time so I bought one to check)

However - that was just before the December reset, which may have changed things - so no guarantees :) If someone is able to confirm current stats, maybe Zaroba (or whoever else is involved with that site) can update accordingly - and nock 5t off the capacity of the stellar freighter at the same time...

The current unextended cargo bay sizes and ship ion speeds are :

Interplanetary Shuttle - Cargo: 0t Ion : 6
Cargo Transport - Cargo: 20t Ion : 5
Cobra Mk II - Cargo: 18t Ion : 12
Pirate Ship - Cargo: 22t Ion: 9
Stellar Freighter - Cargo: 35t Ion: 8.5
Police Fighter - Cargo: 10t Ion: 11
X Fighter - Cargo : 5t Ion: 9
GalFreighter - Cargo :29t Ion: 8
???? - Cargo : 35t Ion: 12.5
???? - Cargo: 20t Ion: 13.5
???? - Cargo: 40t Ion: 13

'New technologies and ship specifications' (i.e. settings tweaking) mean these values can change from time to time - e.g. The X fighter and police fighter will be getting slightly large bays in the near future. (10t and 15t respectively)
