Argonaut

The Argonaut is a cheap but fragile Freighter that favors shield health.

Description

The Argonaut is the third tier trading ship of eight total. It usually is obtained after the Tempura although usually skipped to get better ships. This ship has more health than then Wyrm and Tempura, but is still relatively fragile. Aliens and Pirates are easily able to obliterate it, the latter more so. It also has a recognizable hexagon shaped windows in the front part of the ship.

• More health than the Tempura.

Strategy

• Make sure to trade in a Faction that is in no wars and has strong allies. If there are none, go to a new server. If all servers have wars, try your best to be safe.
• Go to the Mega Base when it is safe. Always check your route if you're in a war, there might be a pirate waiting for you.
• Check how far away the closest Alien is and where it is heading to.
• Always check your trade route, there could be a pirate waiting for you anywhere.
