Captain's locker is useless.

[Malnaur]

It shares the same limit as the regular cargo and every time you edit your ship, it becomes empty with everything dumped back in the general cargo list.

[arti_llery]

It usually stays with the ship. Unless you are rebuilding. Just swapping leaves it on the ship you were using.

[Boe Jiden]

Yeah it sucks.

Actually changing home ships will either delete everything in the extra containers left on the ship, or move them to cargo.

They don't have a system in place to have individual storage areas for the player's multiple ships, and I don't think they intended to put the resource into that.

When you open your inventory you call for files in your installation for all of the saved items on a list, to have multiple ships and their storage means this list gets bigger and bigger, until it stutters your game for opening a inventory screen or scanner.

[Kai]

Where everything on a list is saved, is in your save file... This is why with longer and bigger saves of your game, the worse the performance gets with the stutter.

The situation with ship editing and any items not in the cargo hold – I'd call that a misfeature, certainly regarding containers. It makes sense for loose items, though.

I see no reason why items in containers shouldn't remain in the same containers, so long as the container continues to exist in the ship (i.e. the corresponding habitat module wasn't replaced), with an exception for the captain's locker when replacing the cockpit (content effectively gets moved to the new locker, which may mean that – in implementation terms – it merely doesn't get moved to the cargo hold).

It works for my purposes which is a small storage seperate from cargo so I don't accidently sell a treasure.

Its as useless as the rest of the game. Everything is useless in this game because it serves no point once you uninstall, which you will do once you realize the game is crap. Why are you even still playing? You could play literally any other game on steam and have a better, more enjoyable time.

[Kai]

It would be better if every single container in a ship calls to the ship cargo remotely, just as a quality of life access.

to be frank having those containers around is kinda useless unless you do not plan to upgrade a ship for a very very long time.

But if you play certain quest lines that forces you to equip a different ship, then things gets screwed up.

Rather than storing everything on the ship and having it get moved around or random junk keeps spawning because the HABs spawns them naturally, I'd rather have a capital ship that your faction the Constallation or Starborn owns, and stays with you throughout universe jumping, it should be a 'static' space station sort of interior which has upgradable rooms and capacity, but otherwise saves everything you leave on there.

Outposts is kinda useless as a storage area because you don't travel back there unless you need something.

It's more interesting if Starfield has multiplayer, because all these extra goodies would have some use as other players can stay or roleplay in an area and move items around.

[fauxpas]

I wouldn't mind being able to build my own station that linked to workshops and the like; but I like the fact that you don't get to carry any material items over between NG+.

Give it some time. I thought it was very bad at first because my expectations were too high. Once I tempered my expectations, it's a decent game.

[Empukris]

Storage in this game sucks.

Yes, it's just completely incomprehensible that different people have different tastes, I don't understand the concept behind it either, shouldn't we all have the same taste? it's all very very strange.

I have thrown in enviromental gear into the Captain's Locker. It is fine for that until you build an armory into your ship and get some hanging space for Backpacks and the like. Of course, it eventually becomes a bit obsolete.

[Jeff]

I like the captains locker for tossing a few things that I always want to have as an option just in case, but don't want to carry because of the weight.

-Cutter
-Either a skip pack or balanced pack, whichever I chose for current planet
-A weapon I like but ran out of ammo for it

You don’t even know how it works. Your opinion is invalid.

For the record it has its own limit and it doesn’t empty when you edit your ship. Your thinking of items in your ship and they do need to do something about that.

Anyway I suggest you learn the game before critiquing it.
