Star Citizen ship: MISC Freelancer, light freight

The Freelancer serves major corporations as a long-haul merchant ship, but is just as often turned into an exploration vessel by independent captains living on the galaxy’s fringes.

📜 Its history

The Freelancer applies MISC-HI’s extreme modularity to a smaller, distinctive hull. First sold as a long-haul merchant ship for businesses, it quickly became the ship of choice for explorers, who have charted several new jump points with it. It is also the most debated ship on the market: detractors call it ugly and criticise the cockpit’s view, while fans swear it is the secret of their success, filling many of the same roles as a Constellation with far fewer crew.
