== Overview == | |||
Each Cargo Canister is shaped like a rounded octagonal prism and is roughly two meters in height. They are designed to fit through a standard [[Cargo Hatch]]. There are various different cannister designs, used by different types of commodities, but most are manufactured by [[Vespine Transport Systems]]. Other markings on the exterior may relate to the canister's type and content. | |||
All [[commodities]] transported in the [[Cargo Rack]]s of [[Ships]] and [[SRV]]s, including [[Miner|mined]] commodities, are contained in canisters. Cargo Canisters can be [[salvage]]d with a [[Cargo Scoop]] or [[Limpet Controller|Limpets]] in space or on a planetary surface. When a Cargo Canister is targted, the [[HUD]] will indicate whether it is legal or illegal salvage. | |||
Various other objects, such as [[Black Box]]es, [[Occupied Escape Pod]]s, and [[Thargoid Sensor]]s conform to the size dimensions of a Cargo Canister closely enough to be compatible with standard Cargo Racks, although Thargoid technology is corrosive and must be transported in [[Corrosion Resistant Cargo Rack]]s to prevent damage to the ship that is carrying it. | |||
