Hauler · Tier 4
Tradewind
The Mule's big sister: a Kheper container liner twice the length, carrying twice the standard containers in two tiers on an open truss spine, with a heavier keel, a crewed bridge tower and point-defense turrets fore and aft. Slow to align and hard to crack, it carries the Syndicate's bulk trade between the foundries and the hubs.
Overview
Heavy container hauler: twice a Mule's container stack, a 24,000 m³ hold, two defensive turrets and a chin pair for mining lasers or salvagers
Slots and bonuses
4 high (2 S turret, 2 S utility) · 4 mid · 5 low.
- Turret S 2Turret mount · small. Turns on its own to track a target anywhere above its deck, so it keeps firing while you orbit or fly past. Takes size S: energy guns, mass drivers, missile launchers, point defense, salvagers, Seal Breakers, Splice Rigs, barrier projectors, nanite projectors. Sizes must match exactly (S).
- Utility S 2Utility mount · small. A tool mount, not a gun mount: no guns or missile launchers fit here. Takes size S: mining lasers, salvagers, Seal Breakers, Splice Rigs, barrier projectors, nanite projectors. Sizes must match exactly (S).
- Mid slots 4Mid slot · shields and electronics. No mount restrictions: takes any mid-slot module. Barrier regenerators, amplifiers and weaves, thrusters, point defense, jammers, scanners, doctrine arrays, the shroud and guidance rigs. Only this class of hull can fit: Lightfold Cloak.
- Low slots 5Low slot · armor and engineering. No mount restrictions: takes any low-slot module. Platings, nanite repair arrays, bracing, cell banks, hold extensions, augers and launcher rigs. One armor plating per hull.
