Aside from storage components, all starships are also equipped withsafes, captain lockers, and crates. However, the capacity of these holders is significantly less than the actualship cargo. As a result, they may not be able to accommodate larger or heavier valuables.

Once the inventory is open, they canhover over the items and press A to put them away. Additionally, they may interact with the Cargo Hold console in the ship’s cockpit and “Transfer” items to it.
Storing items is only possible when players are inside the ship or have access to the Cargo Holder panel. Therefore, tounload their loot, players need to be in the proximity of their starship.
