Ship cargo space
 

I've been toying with ship properties via a custom ship. I finally figured out why my ship wasn't displaying properly. A problem I'm seeing is that regardless of what number I set cargo to in the ship definition file, my ship in-game has 0 cargo space. I tried taking away one of the SYST slots (thinking that perhaps if the items were maxed there was a bug there) but that didn't solve the problem. If I pick up more ships during my travels, they give me more cargo space (as would be expected), but when they die, I lose the cargo space they added (as would be expected, this was more a test to see if my ship's cargo could be kick-started by gaining an ally).

Is ship cargo tied to ship size in any way? Would it matter how many item slots the ship has? I've tried a number of different things (sometimes at complete random), but have yet to see any effect.

The cargo hold size is determined by a line like this in the hull's ini file:

CARG 12

It's not affected in any way by hardpoints or the hull size.

I double checked my ini, and that's what the problem was (I had typed in CARGO). Thanks.
