Do weapons take up cargo space?

Sun Apr 20, 2003 4:41 pm by SSquared

As I beam in new weapons, they don't seem to register as taking up cargo space. Is this actually the case? I usually hang on to certain ones I think I may use. I have several weapons not mounted on my ship, but they don't appear to be taking up cargo space. If they aren't actually taking up cargo space, where are they? It seems like a bug, although beneficial to a player.

This seemed like a question someone may have already asked, but I couldn't find anything when I did a search.

cargo space, and weapon space are seperated, they appear under your normal weapon slots as unmounted weapons

so no they do not take cargospace
still you lose them like cargo if you die in mp
only missiles and other consuming items together with all mounted stuff are saved when you die in mp and respawn.

everything unmounted and all your cargo are gone when you die in mp.

No, it's not a bug. It was made that way intentionally. Think about how annoying it would be if your weapons took up cargo space? And especially if you wanted to keep some weapons in your inventory (such as the c10 weapons). In the end, it would just be fustrating.

OK. Thanks. Yeah. I just got found some Level 10 wepaons (in SP) and want to hold on to them. I have several unmounted weapons and was just wondering if there is some type of limit on how much I can hold.

Talking of this, how do you attach stored weapons, the only way to this that I can find is to sell it to a dealer and buy it back, there has to be an easier (and cheaper) way than this.

If anyone would tell me I would be very greatful, thanx.

lol.

just unmount one of your weapons when being at a station (that little icon in the top left corner of the weapon) and place a new gun there by clicking the corresponding icon.
ofc your weapon levels should fit

and as far i am concerned, unmounted weapons should use up cargo space.
where do they go in the moment?
why dont they use cargo space?
why cant i drop cargo where these guns are stored?
=> illogical!

Yes, it doesn't make sense that they take up zero space, but hey, go with it! :-)

When killing Mollys in Dublin or Red Hessians in Dresden, I've had nearly 100 items (weapons, missles/mines, thrusters, etc.) in addition to whatever cargo they drop. I've found there is a limit on mines/missles (just like bots/bats) of 50 per type.

Taking them back and selling them can bring you a really nice bonus (level 8 weapons bring about 16,000 each.)
