The Cobra Mk III cargo hold offers room to support freight of 20t of standard cargo cannisters. Should this prove to be insufficient, there exists a solution in undertaking a Cargo Bay expansion, which is not terribly expensive or technologically advanced, but does take some time.

From the bridge, all Cargo Bay functions are controlled by the Tichy CargoMate, often informally referred to as "the Librarian", as it is relied upon to keep all cargo indexed and updated to the ship's manifest, and using its C-claws, keep all cargo stacked and organized in the most practical manner possible.

Should the need arise to jettison cargo mid-flight, this action is prompted by pressing shift-d. It is always advisable, however, to toggle through the Tichy's register first, by pressing shift-r, to be certain it is the desired cargo that is next in line for ejection.

Adding a Fuel/Cargo Scoop allows scooped items (ie not fuel!) to be deposited in the cargo hold directly. This includes cargo pods, escape pods and asteroid splinters.

OXPs

  • Pods - peculiar cargo
  • HyperCargo created an extra dimension to your cargo hold allowing you to squeeze in more cargo - unless you run out of energy.
