Data ships in Star Citizen are designed to securely and efficiently transport sensitive information through the universe. These ships are equipped with advanced technology to store and transmit data in the form of transmissions, research findings, or other digital content.
The main task of data ships is to transport data from one location to another, often being highly maneuverable and equipped with stealth devices to protect themselves from potential threats. Players who specialize in data running can take on missions to safely transport sensitive information from one point to another, whether it be for scientific research, news delivery, or espionage.
Since data is often a valuable resource, data ships are able to move quickly and discreetly through space. These ships provide players with a unique opportunity to focus on the transport and protection of digital information, while tackling the challenges of interstellar communication in the Star Citizen universe.
