Mastering the largest cargo vessel in the Elite: Dangerous universe
In short: The Lakon Type 9 Heavy is a behemoth of the stars, offering massive capacity at the cost of maneuverability. This video explores the realities of piloting the game's largest hauler, from its heavy lifting power to its notorious docking difficulties.
The Lakon Type 9 Heavy serves as the premier choice for large-scale logistics, capable of transporting 440 tons of cargo. While it excels in volume, it is characterized as the slowest and least agile ship currently available in the game.
In combat, the Type 9's weaponry is only marginally superior to the Cobra Mk III. Pilots must weigh its immense hauling potential against its lack ofnimbleness, which often leads to collisions during docking maneuvers.
