Salvage bay cargo

[ophidius]

The salvage bay does not count as a cargo bay, when trying to design a ship. More specifically you have to have another cargo bay, because all ships must have a cargo bay. But the salvage bay stores cargo. I'm not sure if this you would consider this a bug or suggestion. I would like to use the salvage bay as my only cargo bay as it fits the play style/ role playing I'm trying for. Never bought goods and never will.

You can remove the large cargo bay if you have a small slot cargo component. That might help you.

That is a big sacrifice to make. I like running small ships. I already am barely able to make due with what I'm running. In fact, my crew and ship are floating debris at this moment as I got a bit too cocky. Thought I was ready to take on a xeno ship, I was one pilot assist module short. It could have made the difference.

I agree among all the modules storing cargo, it is not obvious which ones "count" against the requirement to have one cargo module. I was told that you can tell, by selecting the "cargo" filter in the ship component list. If a module doesn't show up there, it doesn't count, even if it stores cargo. I had requested some consistent text on the other modules which store cargo so we could tell they don't count. Maybe, "adds to cargo capacity" rather than "stores cargo", or something.

This is a suggestion. Salvage Bays are not considered cargo bays at this time. There are small slot cargo bays you could use instead.
