Spaceship Armory

Whats the point of putting guns and gears on display when they go into the ships cargo hold?

To free up a small amount of space in the cargo hold of your ship, and for display. That is really it. Also - Dont ever edit your ship when you have anything in your armory (or mannequins); you will lose guns/armor in some cases due to a bug..

It's kind of pointless until your ship is "maxed out" - the items are only moved to the cargo hold if you use the ship builder to modify the ship. I can understand the reasoning behind this from a programmers point of view (less checks). But I'd find it better if they are only moved to the cargo if I really touched that armory module. Just adding a new weapon shouldn't reshuffle all the ships interior

I use the armory as my entry point because sometimes I switch out weapons depending on circumstances but it just feels right to have an armory ready room.

I'd prefer just a ready room.

yeah everything in the ship even decoration gets transferred to the cargo hold hence its always full of Junk like cups and plates

A sorta workaround for this is the StarUI mod which makes the inventory a bajillion times better but you can sell by category AND sub category so you can sell off all your JUNK at once to a vendor to free up that space.

It's not ideal but I hope this is at least a little helpful.

I stopped using armory storage on ships after all the guns I had just up and disappeared twice. Landed on a plant stored some guns went out to run mission came back and gun storage was all empty...lost 20k in hoarded weapons. They did not move in cargo storage.

This bug is still happening after all this time. It is not just modifying, just changing the home vessel for a while, i.e after boarding another vessel, and all items on all modules remain unchanged, including the weapons rack on the cockpit, whilst everything on the Armory disappeared. I noticed however that all items that were added to the storage box in the Armory, or on stuff that I created afterwards, like a mannequin will still be there. Therefore, I believe that the only possibility is to add an empty Armory module and then add all the stuff yourself. This should then still be there when modifying the ship or changing home ship.

This is a good idea. Never thought of doing that.

Because it's cool to have them displayed for role playing purposes. It's fun to decorate the ship.

Agreed.

[Foliacea]

just tested it and with the empty armory, whatever you put there, in weapons boxes, weapons racks, manequins, etc do not disappear.

Good question

[sarcastic_godot]

I mainly use it to place good-ish and somewhat specialized guns out of the way, so I don't accidentially sell them to the vendors...
