To store items on your ship in Starfield, board your ship and interact with the ship's cargo hold. On PC, this can be done by tapping the "R" key near the cargo hold console, usually located in the cockpit area near the pilot seat. Alternatively, open your character's inventory, go to the Ship menu, and select the Cargo Hold button (Q on PC). From there, you can transfer items between your inventory and the ship's storage by selecting items and pressing the appropriate key (E on PC) to store them. You must be near or on board your ship to transfer items. The ship’s cargo hold acts like an extension of your inventory and can store various items including weapons, ammo, apparel, suits, and aid items. You can also use the ship's storage to aid in crafting, research, or selling items directly from the ship's cargo when near appropriate vendors. Additionally, there are other storage options on the ship like the Captain's Locker, which is a smaller storage separate from the main cargo hold. The cargo hold capacity can be expanded by upgrading your ship through a Ship Services Technician or purchasing ships with larger storage. In summary:
- Enter ship cockpit, interact with cargo hold (press "R" on PC).
- Or open character inventory, select Ship menu, then Cargo Hold (Q).
- Transfer items by selecting and pressing E on PC.
- Must be near/on the ship to store items.
- Ship storage includes cargo hold and Captain's locker.
- Cargo capacity can be increased by ship upgrades.
- Items stored can be used at stations and for selling directly.
This method helps manage inventory and carries large amounts of items safely in the ship.
