Sections of Cargo

Supply

Supply is the lead distribution of minerals in the station.

Supply plays a vital role in taking order requests, managing finances, completing bounties, and trading at the Automated Trade Station(ATS). Supply mainly focuses on managing spesos (The galactic currency). Spesos can be gained by selling items at the ATS and completing bounties.

Salvage

Salvage is the main source of rare materials and equipment.

Salvage mainly operates through mining and scavenging useful equipment for the station. Salvage's main goal is to provide as many rare minerals and scrap to the station as they can early on so that they can turn it into valuable materials that supply can distribute.

Quartermaster (QM) is in charge of the Cargo Department and mainly focuses on managing the employees within the Supply and Salvage sections.

The salvage specialists must follow orders from QM and ensure that orders for specific minerals and materials are fulfilled.

Automated Trade Station

Typically the way to reach the ATS is by using the cargo transport shuttle. The ATS comes equipped with it's own atmosphere, solar array, and station anchor. This makes it a habitable place to be without a space-faring suit. (assuming there is no meteor damage done)

The ATS comes equipped with conveyor belts for easy transport of cargo goods on and off the shuttle. The green-hashed area within the ATS is for selling object for spesos. For items to be sold they must be on the green-hashed area when you press the SELL button on the Cargo Sale Computer. The orange-hashed within the ATS is used for retrieving objects from order purchases made on the cargo request computer.

Cargo Sale Computer

The cargo sale computer is held within the ATS. The cargo sell computer is currently the only way to sell objects.

The buttons along the bottom perform various functions:
