It serves all the purposes of a planet-made base, only in space and with more storage. You can build specialty stations (such as construction, science, or weapons, to name a few) in your portable base. No matter where you left it, even if it’s systems away, you can call it to your location in your current star system and it will appear, whether that be next to your starship while in space or in the atmosphere of the planet you’re currently on. It serves as a portable base, quite literally.That’s not all that’s awesome about this ship, either.

Each cargo slot (which, depending on the type of freighter, can range anywhere from 14 to 48 total slots) can hold up to 1,000 units, double the amount in your regular starship and four times the amount of your exosuit.

Along with the ship docking privileges, the freighter comes with increased storage.

This is no small ship, rather it’s a giant starship capable of carrying, I believe, nine starships in its docking bay, though the max you’re allowed to own is only 6 (as of this writing). If they aren’t in yours yet, just wait around and you’ll see about twenty ships come at warp all at once, among them is the freighter.

The freighter can be found in just about any star system.

This hodgepodge nature has its downside, though, namely its high crew requirement and the fact that any dedicated ship of the same cost will do better in a specialized role than the Mule will. The Lionheart ship designers combined a good deal of cargo space with a decent amount of weaponry and even a fighter bay, and ended up with a ship that is mostly used as a freighter but must be classified as a warship because of its heavy armament and shields. The Mule is as much of a hodgepodge as its looks suggest.
