Freelancer MAX Guide, Specs & Features
What to know
The MISC Freelancer MAX widens the familiar Freelancer around a 120-SCU internal hold. A rear ramp, room for vehicles such as the Ursa Rover, four main thrusters, and living space for four make it a practical heavy hauler for crews that still want a self-contained ship.
Freelancer MAX specifications
Loading and turnaround with the Freelancer MAX
The Freelancer MAX treats loading, transit, and unloading as one transport job, with the 120-SCU vehicle-ready cargo bay at the centre of the route. The enlarged internal hold carries 120 SCU and has enough height and floor space for medium ground vehicles such as an Ursa Rover. Four main thrusters help the Freelancer MAX manage its wider hull and heavier freight load, supported by additional hydrogen fuel capacity for the route.
Move cargo through the Freelancer MAX
For the Freelancer MAX, usable cargo space and direct loading access make freight easier to load, secure, and deliver.
Development note: The Freelancer MAX is flight ready and entered the live game in Alpha 3.4.0. Because Star Citizen remains in active development, specifications, features, and imagery may change over time.
Plan around the hold and its doors
The Freelancer MAX turns the 120-SCU vehicle-ready cargo bay into working cargo capacity through direct loading access, secure transit, and a simple unload.

The MAX's enlarged cargo bay
The Freelancer MAX widens the familiar Freelancer hold to carry 120 SCU or a medium ground vehicle such as an Ursa. Four main thrusters help manage the heavier load, while the internal bay keeps freight and vehicle access protected during the trip.
120 SCU with room for an Ursa-sized vehicle
Match the load carried by the 120-SCU vehicle-ready cargo bay to the container sizes and equipment available at both ends of the Freelancer MAX's route.
Keep the load carried by the 120-SCU vehicle-ready cargo bay restrained, balanced, and clear of the access the crew still needs.
Arrange the load carried by the 120-SCU vehicle-ready cargo bay in the order the destination can receive it so unloading stays straightforward.
Freight Transport in action
The Freelancer MAX earns its place on a cargo route by matching the load to the hold, using the 120-SCU vehicle-ready cargo bay well, and making the unload as deliberate as departure.
-
Choose cargo that works at both ports
The first Freelancer MAX decision is whether the load, route, and receiving port suit a freight job.
-
Place cargo carried by 120-SCU vehicle-ready cargo bay in delivery order
Weight distribution and unloading order decide where every part of the load sits aboard the Freelancer MAX.
-
Secure the Freelancer MAX's load without blocking access
The Freelancer MAX's crew keeps the 120-SCU vehicle-ready cargo bay accessible and balanced around the loading equipment available at both ends of the route.
-
Unload the Freelancer MAX in delivery order
After unloading, the crew checks access, restraints, and equipment before the Freelancer MAX accepts more cargo.
Freelancer MAX's cargo equipment in detail
The Freelancer MAX uses its 120-SCU vehicle-ready cargo bay to keep cargo moving from loading and secure transport to delivery at the destination.
Four bunks, a shared kitchen, and a washroom support a full crew, although one pilot can still operate the ship alone.
Four Size 3 guns under pilot control form the Freelancer MAX's main battery, backed by a two-gun Size 2 rear turret and mixed Size 2 and Size 3 missiles.
The Freelancer MAX can only carry what its doors, ramps, clamps, and destination equipment can handle.
The Freelancer MAX's crew balances and restrains the load without blocking controls, doors, or the first delivery.
Loading the Freelancer MAX for a clean delivery
The Freelancer MAX's cargo run works best when the crew prepares the hold around both the departure point and the final unload.
Plan the Freelancer MAX's hold around the destination
Loading order, clear access, and destination equipment determine how the Freelancer MAX uses the 120-SCU vehicle-ready cargo bay.
Both ports need a clear plan for moving the selected freight into and out of the Freelancer MAX.
A balanced cargo plan protects the Freelancer MAX in transit and speeds up unloading at the destination.
A clean cargo deck and checked handling equipment close the delivery and prepare the Freelancer MAX for its next customer.
