Charon Class Transport

The Charon Class Transport is the only ship approved for civilian and droid transport. Each one is capable of ferrying 6 workers between your worlds.

Usage

To transport workers, go to the fleet screen, add a Charon Class Transport to your fleet, and you will notice a "Transport Workers" link will appear. Clicking the link will open a window displaying all of the workers available for transport, and whether they are currently assigned or not. Select your workers, select your destination, and your mode of mission (deploy or transport), and dispatch the fleet.

Evaluation

ADVANTAGES

Charon Class Transport ships are the only way to shuttle workers to/from planets. Each allows you to shuttle up to 6 workers at a time. To build a level 4 Factory from scratch costs 6000 Ore, 1800 crystal, and 3000 Hydrogen. This makes the Charon Class the most economical way of putting droids on your colonies.

DISADVANTAGES

The Charon Class costs more than an Atlas Class Cargo and has little to no utility outside of moving workers around. Due to the low cargo space the ships cannot hold enough fuel for long inter-galactic trips at maximum speed.
