If you're planning a road trip or a camping adventure, a clutter-free cargo bay is a must-have. A well-organized cargo bay can make all the difference in your journey.

Having the right storage options can ensure that your cargo bay remains clutter-free and functional. For instance, consider using cargo nets or tie-downs to secure loose items.

Proper storage also helps prevent damage to your vehicle and its contents. This is especially important if you're planning to transport fragile or sensitive items.

For space platform hubs or cargo landing pads, cargo bays can be added to extend storage capability and item receiving rates. These bays must be placed adjacent to a part of the hub or landing pad or another cargo bay.

Cargo bays can increase the number of cargo pods that can be received from a space platform at the same time, improving overall item throughput of bases that rely on frequent orbital supply drops.

To add more cargo to your ship, you can replace existing modules or extend your ship with additional sections. The Frontier ship has a combined cargo capacity of 450, but you can add more cargo by replacing existing modules or extending your ship.

Cockpit modules can add 200-260 cargo, but you can only place one cockpit per ship. Cargo modules, on the other hand, can hold 210-320 cargo and can be added in multiples.

Here's a comparison of cargo options for the Frontier ship:

  • Cockpit Modules: 200-260 cargo, one per ship
  • Cargo Modules: 210-320 cargo, multiple per ship

Increasing your rank in the Starship Design skill can also give you access to more cargo space, potentially increasing your cargo capacity by +700 or more with the right manufacturer.

Stations and factories require additional cargo capacity to hold manufacturing components and products, with cargo space divided evenly between goods in a production cycle.

Each kind of good is hard-capped at 50,000 units, regardless of its Volume ratio and the station's cargo capacity.

Cargo Bays must be used to store collected ores and scrap from R-Mining and R-Salvaging operations.

A station's production cycles can't run if there's not enough vacant space to store the product, so it's crucial to plan your storage accordingly.

Factories and mines are provided with minimal cargo space by default, but they need more to operate efficiently.

Here are some cargo module options to consider for your RV:

  • Cockpit Modules: Can add 200-260 Cargo, but only one per ship.

Remember, the more cargo you add, the slower your ship will travel unless you upgrade your engines.
