Biggest ship that will dock with an outpost?

[Dr Roly]

I've got a Type 6 for trading (and a Cobra for fun). The Type 6 needs a medium docking bay, so I can land on an outpost. I'm always looking at my profitability, so more cargo space would be great. However some of my trade routes contain outposts and I've heard that the larger ships cannot land on them.

Are there any ships with more cargo capacity than the Type 6 (100 maxed) that will let me trade at an outpost?

Right now, the biggest ship that can dock at outposts is the Python.... Anything that requires 3 blast pads can't land at most of the smaller docks. All of the unsanctioned ones have been modified to have 2 pad bays.

The ASP is the biggest LAKON that can land at outposts

Good info this - hadn't occurred to me that you might not be able to fit on outposts

Yeah, I only just recently began to think about this; I have been spending time running between a station and a outpost, delivering goods, and it occurred to me as I spent more time looking at the outpost that there isn't a big docking pad.

Sad to hear, but good to know.. and I suppose it makes sense. Ideally it will keep a niche for the smaller size ships, at least if the economy makes doing small loads viable for more than new players.

Good to know - I was wondering about that myself.
Maybe there will be something like cargo delivery drones or stuff like that for the big freighters later on to transfer stuff from or to big ships to small stations? For the internal slots or so.
