Crew & Cargo Screen

Example of the Crew/Cargo Screen

The Crew/Cargo Screen [I] is where the player can observe & manage their current inventory, including supplies, fuel, personnel (crew and/or marines), and other items including commodities, unequipped weapons and special items.

The player will commonly see this screen when conducting trade of any kind, whether resupplying for another expedition, looking needed equipment or making profitable trades on the black market.

Inventory grid

The inventory grid is in the center of the screen, similar to the Fleet Screen, featuring a grid with 10 columns that displays all the items in inventory. When the player is docked at a market (or an abandoned storage station), the main grid at the top shows the submarket inventory, while the one at the bottom contains the player inventory. Otherwise, the player inventory is at the top.
