All said and done. I wanted a Freighter to move stuff around with some speed better then the pods. Looking at it Freighter are not made to do this.

Large are for use on the front line suppleing ord and repair.

Using beta23. Host 213. Planet 65.

I'm not sure what the bug is supposed to be. The key statistic for
freighters is how many pod bays they have. The LDSF has 2, the MDSF
has 1, the SDSF 0. A life pod can carry 400'000 colonists, the
'passenger' (or 'guest') statistic therefore becomes almost completely
irrelevant on these three freighter types. The SDSF is practically
useless (unless it's the only freighter on your ship list...).

Unless you are playing the Privateers (or have bought lots of exotic
tech) freighters will move pods a lot faster than the pods will go by
themselves. This is also where the MDSF has an advantage, since it
can go 120ly per turn compared to the LDSF's max speed of 90. As an
MDSF only has one engine to the LDSF's two, a lot of people find it
more useful to build two MDSF's instead of a single LDSF.

Most races have warships that can go as fast if not faster than this,
and that can also carry pods.
