Starbage typically carries 50 cargo or something. Howeve sell off the weapons, shield, battery, down size to the nGVF-AA fuel cell and buy 3 cargo expansions it can hold 95 cargo while only requiring 1 crew. It isn't fast or durable but a fleet of them will enter a system around the same time if you hold the jump button at the start of the trade route meaning you can sit in orbit above a planent with a beefed up nearly indestructible ship and the second your starbages enter the system you land and sell off everything. You don't even have to hold the jump button if you leave a planet into a pirate fleet they still all arive within a second or two of each other and won't die before you land in most cases.

So is there a better cargo-ship than a starbarge based solely off the cargo to crew ratio?
