• Freighter
  The Freighter is used to transport resources only. To have a maximum on free space to hold all the material most Freighters don't have any weapons. Therefore you should always add some Fighters or Destroyers to your Transport-Convoys to protect them.
  There are different types of Freighters to transport resources from Planets to Space (and opposite) or to other Stellar Systems...
  
  
• Builder
  The Builder constructs the infrastructures of your stations.
  It is one of the most important vehicles in your development within the game. It allows you to build Bases on planets and in space, as well as the structures surrounding it.
  Generally Builders are also equipped with no weapons and the higher the technological level of the Builder the higher technological level it can build.
  
  
• Transports
  The Transports unit is used to transport Settlers only and generally don't have any weapons on board. Therefore you should always add some Fighters or Destroyers to your Transport-Convoys to protect them.
  You need Settlers to build any building or vehicle with your Builders and Factories.
  As the habitation of a Base is to very large (to "store" the Settlers) you can use a Barrack to enlarge it.
  
  
• Shuttle
  The Barge is used to transport Land forces (driving vehicles with wheels) only and normally don't have any weapons on board - so use them carefully.
  
  
• Bomber
  This type of fighter have powerful weapons with a wide range. They are used to specially destroy stationary buildings.
  As a negative aspect they don't have a very high weapon cycle and therefore they are weak against manoeuvrable Fighters for example.
  
  
• Destroyer
  The destroyer is the standard warship at space and are useful for nearly all kinds of attacks.
  
  
• Cruiser
  The Croiseur is used to transports other military vehicles through the galaxy and therefore it has very much space to transport many vehicles.
  They also have a strong shield and a heavy fire power to protect themself.
  On the other side they are well seen targets because they might be fully loaded with your Enemies force.
  
  
• Intruder
  The Intruder is mostly used on planets to attack your Enemy and also protect your Stations.
  If possible, he can only hyper jump a short distance and therefore is only used for short range missions like exploration or protect your air sovereignty.
  
  
• Fighter
  The Fighter is a small and fast vehicle, whose firepower is well done. It is often used to escort and protect your Transport-Convoys - to fight against Destroyers and Croiseurs.
  As a negative aspect, Fighters can't go down to any planets surface.
  
  
• Landforces
  Land forces are driving vehicles and are only useable on planets. Therefore you need Croiseurs to transport them to other planets or stellar systems.
  You can use Land forces to protect you planetary Installations and Cities - additional to the DCA and Artillery.
