No Man's Sky Best Freighter

No Man's Sky Largest Freighter

You have to find a new ship with more slots. I have a 48 inventory slot class A ship with about 8 technology slots, so there's no way to get more technology slots for such a currently-owned ship? 48 inventory with 8 tech slots is the absolute maximum of Hauler class ships. For No Man's Sky on the PlayStation 4, a GameFAQs message board topic titled 'Are our old ships 'obsolete' now? No usable technology slots?' First, the wiki claims that the max slots for a freighter is 48/21. I was questioning the legitimacy of this as the page says it's from a previous update but updated as of Sep. Synthesis: Introducing update 2.2 The Synthesis Update introduces a number of frequently-requested features and improvements to No Man’s Sky Beyond. Alongside these new features are a large number of community-led quality of life improvements, as well as general polish.

Summary[edit | edit source]

Freighter Types describes the various classes of Freighterstarships. Note that these names are commonly used by the No Man's Sky community, and are not official descriptions from the game itself.

For a description of Freighters in general, refer to the Freighter page.
For a list of discovered freighters, refer to the Starship Catalogue - Freighter page.

Capital[edit | edit source]

All capital freighters follow one of two unique designs and are very much able to defend themselves, unlike the regular freighters. They are encountered during space battles, in which a player is asked to help them for a chance to purchase them later on.

Inside a design, the classes can vary in visual size, which most likely is a remnant of Hello Games initial inventory system of small, medium and large. However, all visual sizes can have 34 slots since Atlas Rises and a player can therefore opt to 'grind' their most beloved design choice.

Venator Family[edit | edit source]

All ships in Venator family share the same base design, and differ by the number of midsection indentations:

Venator-class: 2 indentations
Imperial-class: 4 indentations
Resurgent-class: 6 indentations

Venator-class[edit | edit source]

Venator-Design (small)

This unique design seems to be a nod to the Venator Star Destroyer of the Star Wars Universe. Unlike the elongated medium and large version of this design, the small version has a striking resemblence to its original inspiration, down to the non triangular shape of its nose. Venator Star Destroyer

The Venator-Design has a basic defense of two turrets on its upper left and right per mid-section. Added to this are one slightly displaced turret on the forward midsection and another turret on the upper tip of the bow. The lower bow comes with two forward turrets, left and right respectively. Like the Sentinel-Design, the bow has 4 turrets in total and each midsection has 2. For each elongation of the Venator-Design another turret gets added below for their suborbital defense with even more extra being added alongside a military keel AND a cargo unit each. This can result in a Resurgent-class fielding up to 20 turrets, more than any freighter in the universe. Due to the inconsistent placement of the turrets, it is near impossible to line more than a handful of turrets to prevent them from firing, making the Venator-Design the one with fewer flaws in its defense. Attack from the lower back to minimize hostile fire!

Imperial-class[edit | edit source]

Imperial-class

Less distinct than the Venator-class, the Imperial-class Star Destroyer still resembles its likely inspiration more than its namesake. However, it has a longer midsection and 4 indentations, which effectively doubles its size.

Resurgent-class[edit | edit source]

Resurgent-class

The Resurgent-class Star Destroyer is the biggest known variant of the Venator-Design Star Destroyers. They all have a huge midsection and 6 indentations, instead of 4 or 2. Most freighters look like dwarves near this beast.

Don't ever make the mistake, these ships are no basic freighters and are no quick haul! Like its pendant, the Resurgent battleship is a terrifying foe in battle. While it disregards most of its lower plane defense, its frontside and broadside potential is outright insane.

The entrance to the hangars is protected by 6 turrets aligned in three rows on both sides. Meanwhile the frontside has another 6 turrets with an extra bow turret on the tip and a middle turret on the first row, giving it 8 turrets for forward and 6 for aft (rear) defense. Below the Resurgent, it foregoes defense of the back with only one turret and doubles down on the front with two, as well as possessing three centrally mounted turrets, two in front of the under hull cargo pods and one in between them. Thus the ship comes down to a total of 20 turrets if it comes equipped with a military keel. Roughly 15 are able to shoot at mid and far broadside distance at targets at all times. The number fluctuates due to the obstructing elements on the ships top and bottom. Not all turrets are mounted above or below the ships actual plane of sight.

A Resurgent battleship can dominate any non-close encounter with its broadsides. Fighter squadrons are advised to attack from below and behind.

Sentinel Family[edit | edit source]

All ships in Sentinel family share the same base design, and differ by the number of midsection segments with cargo pods attached:

Sentinel-class: 3 midsection segments
- Tier 2: 1 extra add-on with additional cargo pods underneath the hull
- Tier 1: no additional cargo pods
Battleship-class: 5 midsection segments
- Tier 2: 1 extra add-on with additional cargo pods underneath the hull
- Tier 1: no additional cargo pods
Dreadnought-class: 7 midsection segments
- Tier 3: 2 extra add-ons with additional cargo pods underneath the hull
- Tier 2: 1 extra add-on with additional cargo pods underneath the hull
- Tier 1: no additional cargo pods

Sentinel-class[edit | edit source]

Sentinel-class

Unlike the Star Destroyers, the Sentinel-Design is reminiscent of the gothic sci-fi design of Warhammer 40k. In particular it is a mix of the Ark Mechanicus' bow and superstructures and the general shape of the Vengeful Spirit. No matter its inspiration, it offers players a clear choice for their capital ship with a hugely different design.

This design is also the official carrier of the sentinel armada in No Man's Sky. However, other races are using them as well and offer the player to purchase them after a successful battle. This suggests that all Sentinel-class capital ships were made by the Sentinels and were either disabled, captured, salvaged, and/or repurposed by the other Races. The smallest visual version has three midsections, but can also show with two pairs of additional cargo pods.
