I'm not looking for profit here(but some is better then none), what I am looking for is a freighter that would make sense hauling refugees. Seeing as we do not really have a freighter that looks like it would logically hold passengers (Although this certainly has my hopes high) So thoughts? It has to be a freighter since its docking on the Leeds Satellite


Sent me a Comm? Haven't received a reply in a reasonable time span? Sorry! Post here and I'll get back to you asap!

Voyager fits the description, as it has space for small family (5-6 people).

Yet take into account that Freighters are having some sort of Tardis device inside, at least according to @Jansen.

//a bit off-topic here:
But seriously, we need a complete rework for every Passenger commodity that logically would fit freighter and transport - bases alone barely have space for 300-400 people. Giving these commodities 20x price and 20x taken cargo space would solve it. Why 20x? I've done some math and I think would be logical for ~40 people fitting into Pelican (max 800 cargo) and (small) Luxury Liner would not have more than ~180 people, given small bases (due to their size) usually have around 300-400 people. It would still be as profitable as shipping passangers in their current form - just removing the inconsistency of passanger commodity from Discovery.

I disagree.
A passenger train in reality can hold 1000+ people.
especially in Poland I remember how tight those trains were as well. You can be very efficient with space.

Given the size of the ship is assumed not to scale just like everything else in disco, it is hard to judge.
Plus, taking 100 or 200 passengers would be really inefficient.




Also yeah back on topic.
Voyager is cool... I guess.. But a camara would work just as well. Imagine it as a bus.

What are you even talking about.


You might want to try a Grizzly.

If you want to be sketchy, the Bactrian, being a patchwork, would be your best bet for appearances, at the cost of looking:
1. Godawfully ugly
2. illegal in most places
