Overview

The progression of an industrialist usually goes:

1. T2 Modules
2. T2 Ships (Dictors and Stealth Bombers, then HACs, then Marauders)
3. T3 Ships
4. Capital Ships

Building a Jump Freighter is a bit like building any other T2 ship, and straddles the line between Battleship and Capital ship. A freighter uses capital ship components, similar to a Dread, but a Dread must be built in a large (Azbel) or extra-large (Sotiyo) with a Capital Shipyard (opens in a new tab), but a Freighter can be built in a medium (Raitaru) with just Manufacturing Plant (opens in a new tab). A freighter also gets bonuses from the rig (opens in a new tab) for "Large" ships.

Just like all T2 production, first you build the T1 ship, and then you react a fuckton of moongoo and augment the ship to be the T2 variety.

1. Setup an RCF pipeline
2. Build a CCTR
3. Build the FTL Interlinks
4. Build the Neurolinks
5. Build the Freighter
6. Build another CCTR
7. Build the T2 Components
8. Finally, build the Jump Freighter
