{{quote|Specialised storage rack for use in automated cargo transfer system that can resist the effects of corrosive cargo.|In-Game Description}}
The '''Corrosion Resistant Cargo Rack (CRCR)''' is a unique [[Cargo Rack]] that can be used to safely transport corrosive objects of [[Thargoid]] origin. They were created using a new material developed by [[Lea Tantaga|Professor Lea Tantaga]] from [[Meta-Alloys]].<ref name="CGN">[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/56f41cea9657ba5637de99c0 GalNet: Community Goal: Neutralising the Unknown Artefact Threat]</ref><ref name="GNM">[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/56fcf1399657ba367fe2647c GalNet: Galactic News: Meta-Alloys Appeal Comes to an End]</ref>

== Overview ==
The '''Corrosion Resistant Cargo Rack''' is required to safely transport corrosive materials, usually of [[Thargoid]] origin, such as [[Thargoid Sensor]]s, [[Thargoid Probe]]s, [[Thargoid Link]]s, [[Thargoid Interceptor]] Tissue Samples, and perhaps most importantly, the [[Titan Drive Component|Titan Drive Components]], without them inflicting caustic damage on the player's [[Ships|ship]].

* If ship has '''Resistant rack'''(s) installed, acquired '''corrosive cargo''' is automatically stored in the '''Resistant racks''', up to the '''Resistant racks'''' capacity. Commanders do not need to and cannot manually manage which '''corrosive cargo''' is stored where etc.
* Any '''corrosive cargo''' that does not fit into '''Resistant rack'''(s) capacity is still stored in regular racks and will cause '''corrosion'''
* If ship contains '''corrosive cargo''' stored in regular racks and new '''Resistant rack''' is installed, the '''corrosive cargo''' is automatically instantly moved to the new '''Resistant rack'''
* When '''corrosive cargo''' is removed from ship or moved to '''Resistant rack''', '''Corrosion effect''' caused by that cargo instantly stops. No additional decontamination is necessary.

==Aquisition==
'''Corrosion Resistant Cargo Racks''' can be aquired either through outright purchase, a Technology Broker unlock, or as a Community Goal reward.

'''Class 1''' modules are exclusively <u>sold</u> at two locations: Abel Laboratory on [[Arque]] 4 e and Cinder Dock on [[Shenve]] A 6, the workshops of [[Engineers]] [[Ishmael Palin]] and [[Chloe Sedesi]] respectively.

'''Class 4''' modules can be unlocked through a Human [[Technology Broker]], and are then available for purchase at any station where a Human Technology Broker is present. Unlocking requires the following [[Materials]]:

*16 [[Meta-Alloys]]
*26 [[Iron]]
*18 [[Chemical Manipulators]]
*22 [[Radiation Baffle]]
*12 [[Neofabric Insulation]]
'''Class 5''' and '''6''' modules do exist in limited numbers among CMDR's who received them as a [[Community Goals|Community Goal]] reward<ref>Such as [https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/collect-meta-alloys-for-professor-palin.603071/ Collect Meta-Alloys for Professor Palin] and [https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/deliver-critical-aid-for-the-rhea-disaster.626528/ Deliver Critical Aid for the Rhea Disaster]</ref>, but they are otherwise neither purchasable nor unlockable.

==Notes==
*1E and 1F Corrosion Resistant Cargo Racks were created via an 8-tier [[Community Goals|Community Goal]].<ref name="CGN" /><ref name="GNM" /> Higher-capacity versions of the module were potential rewards in the CG, but only tier 4 was unlocked when the CG concluded.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteCG/comments/4bt9di/neutralising_the_unknown_artefact_threat_horizons/ reddit: Neutralising the Unknown Artefact Threat (Horizons Required)]</ref> At the time, the only use Corrosion Resistant Cargo Racks had was for transporting [[Thargoid Sensor]]s (then labeled "Unknown Artefacts") to sell at blackmarkets. Larger 4E Corrosion Resistant Cargo Racks were later added by [[Elite Dangerous: Beyond#Chapter One - v3.0|Beyond Chapter One (3.0)]]. On November 29, 2018, the deleterious effects of selling Thargoid Sensors were removed, allowing Thargoid commodities to be legally sold at station markets and increasing the viability of Corrosion Resistant Cargo Racks as a tool for traders.<ref name="TSDN">[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5bffdc5e33cee07033255f0a GalNet: Thargoid-Sensor Disruption Neutralised]</ref><ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/removal-of-ua-bombing.461658/ Frontier Forums: Removal of 'UA Bombing']</ref>
*Also appears in game as "'''Anti-Corrosion Cargo Rack'''".
