Materials do not require space in [[Cargo Rack]]s.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/node/335 Community/node: Dev Update (12/11/2015)]</ref> Instead, Materials have a separate inventory and are stored in smaller quantities that do not affect a [[Ships|ship]]'s overall mass. Materials remain accessible when switching between a [[Ships|ship]], [[:Category:Surface Recon Vehicles|SRV]] or [[Ship-Launched Fighters|SLF]]. If a commander [[Redeployment|loses their vehicle or is critically injured]], none of their Materials are lost. | Materials do not require space in [[Cargo Rack]]s.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/node/335 Community/node: Dev Update (12/11/2015)]</ref> Instead, Materials have a separate inventory and are stored in smaller quantities that do not affect a [[Ships|ship]]'s overall mass.
