The Starfarer differs from traditional bulk freighters in one key way: it is a dedicated fuel platform. The Starfarer in Star Citizen is designed not only to load, store, and protect fuel stasis units, it is designed to take in spaceborne gases and refine them for use without landing. While it excels at this, the Starfarer can also be used to ferry traditional bulk cargo pods. The listed Cargo Capacity is only for the dedicated Cargo Room and does not account for the extra space available from the bulk cargo pods.
