Internal Compartment

The Internal Compartments can fit a multitude of different equipment types, some mandatory and some optional. The amount and size of Internal Compartments varies per ship. Some compartments are restricted to only specific equipment, while others permit any equipment type.

Internal Compartments are accessed via the Outfitting menu of Starport Services. They are divided into 2 categories: Core Internal and Optional Internal.

Core Internal

These are the ship's main internal modules. There are 2 types: Core Compartments and Military Compartments.

Core Compartments

All ships have the same types of Core Compartments. The sizes of these compartments vary from ship to ship. Each Core Compartment is restricted to a specific type of equipment. These modules are required on every ship and while they can be upgraded, they cannot be removed. No other module types can be fitted into these specific slots.
