Tips

Core Transport Ship

Large Cargos become your primary haulers as soon as you unlock them. One LC carries the same as 5 Small Cargos at lower fuel cost per unit of cargo.

Farming Fleets

Send a fleet of 10–100 LCs with combat escort to strip inactive players. With high Combustion Drive, they're fast enough for cross-system raids.

No Combat Value

Like the Small Cargo, Large Cargos have minimal weapons. Never send them unescorted into defended territory.

Resource Transfer

Use LCs to centralise resources from colonies to your main planet for large construction projects or fleet builds.
