Rahanas half empty

[Andrea92]

Hi, I'm not sure this is really a bug, but I have to know if it is.

I'm doing the campaign, and decided to build a bit of empire before going to devries. I found an extremely good deal with e-cells but my rahanas can't put more than 32500 in its cargobay. with that amount, and the jump fuel, I have 71.700 m3 occupied on a 130.000 total. But still, I can't buy more cells. I can buy other things, but not cells... what the hell...

Your Rahanas is an hybrid capable of carrying container/energy wares, the trade off is that half the total storage is for energy and the other half for containers.

Thank you. What should I do if I want to buy another trade ship? do I need another capital for it? and, is the rahanas a capital? I really got everything messed up in my head with this new game...

Rahanas is a Capital ship, when you buy a new trade ship you need to make a choice rewarding which type of cargo type is going to have, bulk/container/liquid/energy, depending what you want to trade with. Container is the most used one as it has a lot of wares that can be traded.

You can buy capitals or small freighters.

For containers trades, I suggest going for small freighters. Containers wares are, in general, really expensive and required in small amounts, unlike energy and liquid wares. So u don´t need to spend 10mi in a ship if a 1,5mi one will solve your problem.

The problem is that the small freighter ships have no defences. So u should add some escorts to protect them.

Lastly, I suggest you to subscribe to the faster ships mod on the steam, which makes small traders much more equivalent, in viability, to capital freighters. Their speed got some boost.

Well I did a bit of research on roguey, and it seems that the Lyranea is a good XL transporter. the cargo seems nice and it doesn't costs too much..
