        It’s not recent update but basically your ships gear slots - weapons, shields, landing gear, etc - and cargo slots were 1.

        This way you could do interesting builds.

        Ship which has all slots filled with ships equipment and your big ship is for cargo, etc.

        Right now you have dedicated cargo slots and dedicated equipment slots. Ofc they are smaller than when they were combined…

          I would have been happy with the change if they dropped the slot system entirely for cargo now that it serves no purpose (equipment gets bonuses based on slot and adjacent gear, cargo does not). For some unfathomable reason they kept the manual slots for cargo and it makes finding anything specific in a large cargo hold a nightmare.

          This is compounded by their terrible crafting system where you have to manually pick every single component of a recipe rather than just clicking on the recipe and having it grab stuff from cargo for you. Cargo should have been turned into a sortable list like in nearly every other RPG.

          The inventory has been one of the primary sources of complaints since day one, but despite several major overhauls they haven’t fixed the core issues, just made it slightly less inconvenient to use each update.
