Type 7

The type 7 is some-what like the Type 6 but features an extra two class 6 slots (which could be used for two cargo modules, or a shield and a cargo-module). However over the Asp, the Type 7 doesnt really offer much more than an extra class 6 slot (so an extra 64 units of space). Although the Asp is more capable of defending itself, with an extra two class 2 weapon mounts. So you must decide if 64 cargo-units is better or worse than two class 2 weapon mounts, and the price difference.
