Prospector

Description
The Prospector is a Freighter Class ship that has the 4th highest cargo capacity in the game. It is slightly faster than the Hercules and more vertical in shape. It is a good choice for traders who want a slightly faster ship/backup for the Hercules.

Interior
You get inside of the ship by a hatch in the roof similar to the Rorqual which leads to a small tube-like room with 2 doorways. At the front, there is the cockpit, with one seat with a screen in front. The back contains 4 passenger seats and a screen on the wall.

Advantages

 * Faster than a Hercules.
 * 4th largest cargo hold.
 * A good choice for traders as larger Freighters get targeted more often.

Disadvantages

 * A bit slow.
 * A Target for Pirates.
 * Very low Health for the price.

Safety

 * Make sure to trade in a neutral faction that is in no wars and hopefully has strong allies. If there are none, go to a new server. If all servers have wars, try your best to be safe or swap to a Wasp.
 * Go to the Mega Base when it is safe. Always check your route if you're in a war, there might be a pirate waiting for you.
 * Check how far away the closest Alien is and where it is heading to.
 * If in war, check your trade route, there could be a pirate waiting for you.

Trivia

 * You can make back what you spent quickly by trading.
 * This can give you a profit of 900 if you get a full cargo of silicate at a 5 price and sell at Mega Base.
