The privateer (PVT) is a cargo ship able to transport up to 250kt and sporting numerous multi-function slots. It is a very useful freighter in the early stage of the game for two reasons:
- It can take 3 fuel-pods, giving it extended range.
- It requires very little germanium, leaving more available to build factories.
The drawback is that the base hull does, however, require a lot of ironium and a little more resources to build than its closest relative the medium freighter. While the medium freighter is also available sooner at Construction3 versus Construction4 for the privateer, this disadvantage is somewhat reduced by the increased capacity of the privateer which is able to transport 40kt more cargo per hull.
Many players also use the PVT hull as a coloniser, with two fuel pods and one colony module.
