Small transport ship

The small transport is your first cargo ship. It is cheap 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.
• + Economical to fly.
• – Slow, with a long setup time and practically no weapons.
• – The Mortar deals bonus damage to it.

Later on, the Large transport ship and the Transmitter take over the hauling because they carry many times as much and travel faster. Small transports then remain handy for small deliveries or as cheap extra cargo space.
