The RAFT (Reinforced Advanced Freight Transport) is a 2-person crew cargo container transport ship made by Argo Astronautics. The ship can carry three 32 SCU cargo containers, the weaponry includes a remote turret and two gun hardpoints. The interior features a two deck layout. Bridge, access to an airlock and crew accommodations are located on the lower deck (deck 1), and engineering and the container control room are located on upper deck (deck 2).
The ship was first demonstrated to various players on November 24, 2021 (Day 4 of the Intergalactic Aerospace Expo 2951),[1][2][3] one day before it was officially revealed and implemented to the PU.
| “ | As it does with all its industrial concerns, Argo takes cargo transport very seriously, on every scale. The RAFT is no exception, sporting a hefty 96 SCU cargo hold, and capable of carrying up to three standardized 32 SCU cargo containers. Perfect for entry-level haulers and old pros alike, the RAFT is an ideal solution for reliable local freight transport. Once again, Argo gets the job done. | ” |
