Don't know if this has been posted before but it was on a Facebook Starfield page earlier and made me chuckle :D

It was captioned 'Most people playing Starfield.........'

I'm getting confused with the whole storage system.

Penthouse storage is not linked to the lodge workbenches?
Nor is the ships cargo?
And...
Am I right in thinking that when out post building you have to have the resources in your inventory and not the ships inventory?
Also crew member storage does not link to using the resources to build out posts?

Storage is needlessly complicated :D

The only unlimited storage is at The Lodge *but* crafting tables (at The Lodge) don't pull from unlimited storage - only your personal inventory and your ship's cargo hold.

Penthouses have no useful storage - if you have crafting tables there, again, they'll pull from your personal inventory and your ship's cargo (I think).

Outposts can pull from your inventory, ship's cargo *and* storage containers (the big outdoor ones, not the crates you can decorate your accommodation with).

It's a mess - most people deal with it by making a ship with 10k+ cargo and keeping everything there (or by waddling around like the fella in the picture above).

Thank you so much! Now I need to get class B ships to boost my cargo and build outdoor containers to start dumping required resources for building the 2 out posts I have.

As explained by @Aegis just make a ship with loads of cargo. Doesn't need anything fancy on it as long as it can be saved. Swap to it to add to cargo inventory.

Cargo is shared across all ships so you can access it from any ship, you just can't add to it when the ship has less available. This inventory can be accessed at benches, outposts, traders for selling etc.

Yes I had the same problem yesterday, just taken over a class C ship. Only to find I could not steal it, due to owning 10 ships :(

So..........10 ships is the max you can own at one time?

The bigger pain is that the ship vendors don't ever have enough money to sell them all. Ie to clear ship slots you can find after the registration fee, it costs you 40k to give it away.
 

There's also a console command:

Code:
SetGS uSpaceshipMaximumOwnedSpaceships 20

But you have to run it every time you start the game.

you can put it in a batch file to run at startup.

Create a .bat file in the starfield.exe directory, call it whatever you want, ie: MyStartup.bat, and add that line to it and save.

In My docs > My Games >starfield, if it's not already there create StarFieldCustom.ini

If you're creating the file, add this:
Code:
[General]
otherwise just find the [general] section in the existing file, then add this:
Code:
sStartingConsoleCommand=bat MyStartup

You'll know if it works because you'll see the bat file has been executed when you first open the console.

Standard warning about it disabling achievements etc.

you can also add these to remove a lot of the ship building limits if you want to build some huge ships
Code:
setgs fSpaceshipLandableMaxSizeX 5000
setgs fSpaceshipLandableMaxSizeY 5000
setgs fSpaceshipLandableMaxSizeZ 5000
setgs fSpaceshipLandableSmallSize 5000
setgs fSpaceshipBuilderMaxSizeZ 5000
setgs uSpaceshipBuilderMaxModules 5000
setgs uSpaceshipBuilderModuleHardLimit 5000

and also this if you want to mess around with M class parts:
Code:
set 00155F4A to 1

Think you got a typo there bud, StarfieldCustom.ini not start? just incase people are copy and pasting.
 
Carry the Loot from the emissary / hunter through to a new game+?

Nope but you do get the Starborn Spacesuit and Guardian Ship which improve in stats in each NG+.

The weapons are not as good as you find in NG+ either since game loot scales with player and NG+ level.

Just do the below. Gives you easy money, weapons and ammo without using glitches or console, rather it being a typical Bethesda style feature.

 
I'm in two minds whether or not to bother with NG+. I like the idea of advancing as a Starborn, but losing all the weapons, quest progress, ships etc that I've attained, puts me off.
