Materials do not take up space in [[Cargo Rack]]s.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/node/335 Dev Update (12/11/2015)]</ref> Instead, Materials have a separate inventory and are stored in quantities that are small enough that they do not affect a ship's overall mass. Materials remain accessible when switching between a ship, SRV, or Ship-Launcher Fighter, and in the event a pilot [[Redeployment|loses their vehicle or is critically injured]], none of their Materials are lost.

== Categories ==
Materials are classified into one of three different categories determined by their origin and composition:
*'''[[Raw Materials]]''' - Naturally-occurring chemical elements; usually obtained by [[mining]] and SRV prospecting.
*'''[[Manufactured Materials]]''' - Artificial components from ships and structures; usually obtained by [[Salvage|salvaging]].
*'''[[Encoded Materials]]''' - Pieces of data, such as files, chunks of code, and scans; usually obtained by scanning objects.
