Small transport
The cheap starter freighter: it moves resources between your planets and brings home your first loot.

The small transport is your first cargo ship. It is cheap, quick to build and burns very little spice per flight. For trips between nearby planets and your first raids it does the job nicely.
Strengths and weaknesses
- + Very cheap: only metal and kryptonite, no spice in the building costs.
- + Available early and economical to fly.
- – Little cargo space compared to bigger freighters and practically no weapons.
Later on, the Large transport and the Transmitter take over the hauling because they carry many times as much. Small transports then remain handy for small deliveries or as cheap extra cargo space.
Background
The small transport was developed to ship resources between planets. It is ideal for short distances thanks to its relatively large cargo capacity in comparison to its small size. This spaceship is powered by rocket engines, allowing it to reach a maximum speed of 300 m/s.
