Neptune Rocket storage system purpose?

[Jumping Spiders Are Cute]

storage of this size on an 'escape' rocket is a bad idea because it would outbalance the rocket unless it is more than an escape rocket.

the storage systems imply it is more than an escape rocket, but im reading there really is no purpose for them. has this changed since below zero?

the storage lockers do not make sense with the lore. ive heard this company is supposed to be very cost efficient, and allowing a potential-nobody to bring back a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of possibly plague-level infected and-or useless crap aboard a top secret rocket doesnt seem cost efficient.

i get that the rocket was designed for the captain, but even then, the storage lockers wouldnt serve a purpose. maybe a single locker would make sense, but this rocket has more built-in storage than the cyclops, a *dedicated* science vessel.

The rocket is likely a "one size fits all" model. They need to send a rocket for them to use, so that's the one they send.
There wouldn't be much point of making more than one type when they all have the same job of getting something relatively small (a person and/or low amount of items) from down there\/ to up there/\.

In this game the lockers only serve to be cosmetic (not a lot of point of putting much in them except for RP purposes), but lore wise having as few models for as many jobs as possible would make sense for a company that likes to cut down on unnecessary spending anywhere it can.


By the way, I think it safe to say the rocket wasn't made just for the captain. The captains computer was just a convenient place that it could be sent to that would be easier and more obvious for anyone that got the message of the data existing to be able to find.
It's not unrealistic, even for this company, to make the captains quarters and by extension the computers within, to be made to a higher standard just for the purpose of being sure that any important info sent to the ship was received.

There is a note on the PDA about the spider robot, about returning it to Alterra for mutual profit. Being that our hero (us) is in debt with the company for zillions of credits, maybe he would want to bring as much valuable items as possible with him?
I thought that, even in case it was the captain, or a scientist, to use the rocket, they would want to take samples with them. Or any of those artifacts that we are unfortunately not allowed to reach.

You take this game way too seriously, while the devs are clearly just making fun of the big companies.

Speculating is fun ;)

And Cyberpunk took big companies very seriously, but became a joke itself.

The lockers threw me off the first time I saw them. I assumed I should stock them up with food and water for the trip, but nah..

Honestly I think its there in the event that a player decides "hey I can just live on this thing", but i'm willing to bet hardly anybody does it, cuz its odd <_<

Also willing to bet that with the reams of data the player brings back to earth his debt will likely be forgiven :F

Exactly. That's why I think that if I was Riley I would stash all the strange artifacts, advanced materials etc., trying to reduce my debt as much as I can.

The problem with storing items on the ship in hopes to using them to pay off that debt, is that Alterra already claimed the planet when their ship "landed" on it. Use of those same resources is why he has the dept in the first place.
You're just shipping them their (as they see it) own resources, for free.

Thats kinda the way I see it as well. Don't forget you are using the blueprints that they provided to you with the tool (at a cost of course).

[Schrödinger's psycho]

Well, you have to eat something while trying to resolve your debt with the Alterra...

Yes they do own all the discoveries but its not going to do them any good if its stuck on the planet with the quarantine enforcement platform still active. also Alterra owns the seamoth but the guy who designed it is now on the board of directors . maybe all the potential profit from the new tech found will be enough to clear the debit.

In-universe, the storage may be intended for extra fuel, repair parts, or large tools that might be needed if something goes wrong shortly after lift-off. You don't have any of those things on you in the game, but it's not unreasonable that some extras (and space for them) might be standard.

In-game, it can be used as a small but inconvenient storage source if you choose to build the Neptune in some far off region.

bruh maybe if you fill it with diamonds you get a secret ending
