Freighters and Frigates explained - what are Frigates and Freighters how do they work in No Man's Sky?

Freighters, and their new companions the Frigates, are special spacecraft you can now own for yourself in No Man's Sky, that can be used to complete missions for you to earn resources and money, or to just store anything you want to stash away for a rainy day.

Freighters explained

Like all things in No Man's Sky these days, Freighters are ranked in terms of quality, from S at the top, down to A, B, and C Class. They come in various sizs, up to 48 slots in the main inventory - the first one you get is randomly sized - and are generally found floating around in space.

The main purpose of a Freighter is to use it as a mobile base of operations. You can build base objects on board, run expeditions to get resources, host a farm of your own on board so you can have a continuous stream of income, and use it for storage. They're easily summoned (down on the D-pad on consoles and then select it from the menu), so essentially it's a whopping great storage unit and base that follows you wherever you go - neat!

Frigates explained

Frigates are smaller support craft that hang around your Freighter. These are the things you actually send on missions from your Freighter's command room (there's a tutorial that runs you through all the essentials for this when you first get your free Freighter), and again they come in various degress of quality.

Expeditions are fairly hands-off - that's sort of the point of them - but the main thing to know is that the more Frigates you have, the better their chances of success, and likewise the more expeditions you can run at the same time.

How to get a Freighter for free in No Man's Sky

Early on in No Man's Sky, you'll warp to a new system and a Freighter, with some support craft, will burst into the area. It'll be under attack, with a 'Battle Detected' notification coming up and around half a dozen enemy ships flying around it.

Take out the enemy ships (exercising caution while doing so - try not to properly damage the freighter!), and you'll receive an incoming transmission from the Freighter's captain. Accept it, and then head on board the Freighter like you would a Space Station.

Follow the waypoint to the bridge and talk to the captain, and they'll offer you the ship themselves, clearly releived at the chance to rid themselves of the hassle. With that, the Freigher's yours! There'll be a short tutorial you can follow afterwards which guides you through building your first Freighter base, too.

Note, as well, that this battle will keep popping up every time you enter a new system, so there's no chance of missing it if you fled the first time - and likewise no reason not to get it over with and accept the free Freighter when you feel like it.
