Research
Cargo Holds
Cargo Holds: Increases cargo capacity for raids, world transfers and trade convoys. Asteroid mining uses Prospector Holds research.
How to use it
Increases cargo capacity for raids, world transfers and trade convoys. Asteroid mining uses Prospector Holds research.
Each level expands the hold of every mobile ship for raids and transfers between your worlds. Courier, Wayfarer, Atlas and Argosy also carry more in trade convoys. Prospectors use Prospector Holds instead.
Requirements & connections
No prerequisite research.
This project has 5 paid levels. Completed research applies across your planets. Payment comes from the selected world’s Store. Funding from another world does not create another research queue. Started research cannot be cancelled.
Reference values
Each row is the separate cost of reaching that level. Research time uses your capital’s Core even when a colony pays the bill.
