Removed from Game
This content used to be in the game but has since been removed or disabled.
The Prospector is a light Freighter with a focus on Hull health.
Description
The Prospector is a Freighter-Class ship that has the fifth highest cargo capacity for its class. It is slightly faster than the Hercules, making it a good choice for traders who want a faster ship as a backup for the Hercules.
Appearance
The Prospector is entered through a metal door on the back that leads to a larger room. To the left of the entrance is a set of three crates, a bed, and a small nightstand with a decal and lamp on it. Stairs to the right of the bed lead up to a bridge with a decorated pilot's seat and three yellow screens.
Advantages
- Faster than the Hercules.
- 6th largest Cargo Hold of all Freighters.
- A good choice for those that like to trade safely, as smaller Freighters are targeted less often.
Disadvantages
- Somewhat slow.
- A target for Pirates.
- Low health for its price.
Strategy
- Make sure to trade in a neutral Faction that hopefully has strong allies. If there are none, go to a new server. If all servers have Factions all at War, try Trading close to the Mega Base instead.
- Go to the Mega Base when it is safe. Always check your route if you're in a war. There might be a Pirate or two waiting for you.
- Check how far away the closest Alien is and where it is heading.
