The MISC Freelancer is a beloved mid-size multi-crew cargo ship, and the Freelancer MAX variant doubles as a referral reward at 100 recruits.
What it is
Roomy, sturdy and versatile, the Freelancer has variants for cargo, exploration and combat, with a big hold that makes it a classic step up into serious hauling. The Freelancer MAX is also earnable on the recruitment ladder at 100 recruits. See the rewards.
Who it is for
Players who want a serious step up into cargo hauling and small-crew operations. It is a classic upgrade target you grow into, and one version is earnable through the referral program.
How a new player gets one
You do not start with a ship like this, and you do not need to pay hundreds of real dollars for it. You earn it in-game with UEC, or rent it to try, once you have built up some money by playing. The smart start is the cheapest Game Package, the Citizen Starter Pack at $45, plus 50,000 UEC from referral code STAR-JTV7-FXLR to kit out your character. Then work your way up. How ship prices really work.
