Star Citizen Freelancer
Freelancer role, variants and buying considerations. Check the source-dated RSI specifications before choosing a hull.

The MISC Freelancer is a beloved mid-size multi-crew cargo ship, and the Freelancer MAX variant doubles as a referral reward at 100 recruits.
What it is
Roomy, sturdy and versatile, the Freelancer has variants for cargo, exploration and combat, with a big hold that makes it a classic step up into serious hauling. The Freelancer MAX is also earnable on the recruitment ladder at 100 recruits. See the rewards.
Who it is for
Players who want a serious step up into cargo hauling and small-crew operations. It is a classic upgrade target you grow into, and one version is earnable through the referral program.
Match the variant to the job
MAX, DUR, MIS and the base Freelancer emphasise different roles. A family comparison should not substitute one variant cargo specification for another. For hauling, account for the cargo you can afford, loading time and route risk before selecting the largest hold.
Cargo route planning. These are buying considerations based on intended roles, not measured flight-test results.
