Star Liner Hull: Is the transportation choice in the AIC realm.
As a slow but cost efficient means:
For Population Transport to and from the Colonies as long as the Population Life Support Module is installed.

The Starliner Hull as a Freighter or Barge , it will haul from near 1000 to 3000 Kilo Tons of Cargo and require just the basics for life support

Components, Vehicales and Facilities all have descriptions assigned to each; please right click over the picture, for more information

-----------------------------

Go with 1 or 2 Starliners {Pop transports} for each Planet in your Home System and the domed planets that or in other systems.

For Colonies on breathable atmospheres in other systems, I may have up to 5 or 10 Starliners in a fleet ferrying population from the Home World, then get the population up to over a few hundred and build a Ship Yard for an Industrial World with allot of population.

Use Freighters small to large to carry Satellites, Weapon Platforms, Troops all units, to local planets and systems far away.

Remember you can load a Small Transport with all Supply Bays for a high capacity escort refueling tanker in AIC

In need of something delivered faster, then use a Cargo Ship, built from a Transport Hull.
Transports are a little more expensive to maintain then the freighter and do not have as much initial cargo space, but they will get your supplies to the frontier much faster.
At higher levels of propulsion they will move even faster
With a higher Cargo Tech , you will find that Transports are great for a fast Population shuttles as well

Population Life Support Module is for Starliner Hulls, HercMighty
