<b><u>Ships listed are the basic versions. See the [[ships]] list for full information.</u></b><br>
*The [[Revenant]] is the perfect entry level trading ship. Enough weapons ports to keep you safe from Hive ships, and enough cargo room to get you through the basic trade missions.
*The [[Warthog|Warthog Mineral Extractor]] is definitely worth a look when you start out (and don't have the licenses try early on in your advancement, for a Centaur yet) combined Mining and Trading, as it has '''24 cu''' cargo space, an S & an L weapons port, and is relatively fast (Turbo 200m/s) and agile.
*The [[Atlas]] is a decent trading ship, but once you have a [[Centaur]] you can pretty much ignore this one. It is fast and has plenty of cargo room. But often is easy prey for pirates.
*The [[Centaur]] slow and hard to move this ship has often been ignored by traders with access to the [[Marauder]], but it does its job very well, and that job is to move large amounts of cargo in one go. The Centaur has the ability to carry two sets of mines, enough to send any pirate to their grave.
