Star Citizen Ships: A Deep Dive into Cargo Havens
"A ship without cargo is just a big, expensive spaceship," as my friend once said. And he's totally right. In the vast expanse of the Star Citizen universe, your ship's worth hinges on its hold. Shielded cargo ships take this to the next level!
The Importance of Shielding
Let's face it, space isn't exactly a friendly place. Space pirates, asteroid fields, even space weather – things can happen. Shielded cargo bays protect your valuable goods. It’s like having a fortress inside a vehicle.
Different Shielding Levels & Their Value

Different cargo ships, different cargo shielding, different protection levels! Think of it like layers of armor. A small, unshielded hold is as easy to pick as a wallet! But highly shielded cargo can defend against all types of damage.

What kind of Cargo is valuable in the universe?
Imagine, valuable resources. Raw materials? Mining products? Rare collectibles. High value goods are in demand! Think what humans want, sell what humans want, earn what humans want! All this can only bring better shielded cargo! This means you want protection for those materials, a better way for them to reach buyers! That's the true value here.
Different Ship Types and Cargo Capacity
Ships vary widely in their designs, features, and cargo holds, making one of the biggest choice elements when you are buying a spaceship.
Civilian Cargo Ships (the daily workers)

They have their special, shielded hold. Imagine cargo carriers, transporters – they often ship common goods, which also make a lot of money! (They just move goods for profit).
Military Cargo Ships

You have big battleships, designed to transport weapons and critical gear – obviously heavily protected cargo holds. You would want something that holds more! The point is protection and more cargo. (Protecting assets).

Specialised Cargo Ships
Imagine something that doesn't follow common pathways; these ships will make special deliveries. Unique goods need a specific, protected cargo ship for high-value transport! This is why special holds with unique shielding is so important!
How do Ships Compare in terms of shielding? (Personal experience & observation)
I've flown quite a few cargo ships in Star Citizen, trying out the difference!
- Some have a super secure cargo bay!
- Some felt under-protected!
- Some ship have a small but secured storage room that also felt good.
Honestly, this is so individual and important. Some ships were surprisingly solid, keeping your cargo intact even through small damage! This difference made me decide on which spaceship to keep for cargo.
The Factor of Space and the cost
It's also super important to remember: a larger cargo bay isn't automatically better! The amount of space needed for the good is huge! It might cost more to ship less.
Understanding Player Reviews and Feedback (Why it matters)
Reading reviews about cargo ships in Star Citizen forums, forums for players are like gold mines! A lot of times there are complaints, opinions about cargo bays being just good enough or bad enough!
Other gamers say something similar, complaining that these types of protection were very needed to protect valuable goods.

Community Suggestions
I found suggestions in community forums about modifying existing ships to accommodate better protection or adding more shielding options. There is huge interest in this type of cargo ship, in the player base!
My Thoughts and Conclusion on Shielded Cargo in Star Citizen (Adding a personal view)
Personally, shielded cargo bays are an absolute game-changer in Star Citizen, increasing gameplay value and depth! You can invest more! It’s essential to take care of cargo safety. I want my valuables delivered safe, so a highly protected cargo is a great investment! You really appreciate this when dealing with space piracy. If there were more protected ships available, it would be really cool! I like how they do this, that they think about security in their system and make it very available to the players!
