Standardised storage rack for use in automated cargo transfer system.
— In-Game Description
A Cargo Rack is a holding case for Cargo Canisters used in transporting commodities. They come in a variety of sizes starting with the smallest at 2 ton capacity and increasing by exponents of 2.
Pre-Engineered Cargo Racks have larger cargo capacity than regular cargo racks of the same Class, and can be installed in any of the same optional internal slots.
They were first introduced in limited number as Community Goal rewards, and are neither purchasable nor unlockable. In the first Community Goal event, participating Commanders were rewarded with one of each Class, and those finishing in the top 75% received an additional pair.[1] In the next two events, Commanders in the top 75% received one Class 5.[2][3] Therefore some Commanders may currently own up to 2X Class 6 and 4X Class 5.
They are pre-engineered with the Expanded Cargo Rack Grade 5 blueprint for +34.4% cargo capacity, and cannot have experimental effects applied (none exist). Their value is 0 credits if sold.
