What are warehouses for? What items can I put in them and how do I do this?

Warehouses are used to store any items that you do not want to carry with you. They are planet based so if you leave items in a warehouse on Venus and travel to Earth you will not be able to access the same items again.

Any items can be placed in a warehouse as long as the amount of items you are placing there does not exceed the capacity of the warehouse.

Warehouses are primarily controled through the Details page. If you are at a planet and you do not currently own a warehouse there you will be given the option to purchase one. The link to do this is "Rent a Warehouse" and appears as the last link on the right hand side of the main window, beneath the notice board.

Note: The Buy Warehouse link will only be visible if you have more than 2000 Credits, the minimum initial cost of buying a warehouse.

Note: If you already have a warehouse at the planet the link will take you to the warehouse management page.

Once you have purchased a warehouse you will be taken to the warehouse management page were you will be able to buy more storage (through the plus and minus buttons), place cargo into the warehouse from your hold or move cargo from your warehouse to your hold.

To move cargo to and from your ship simply fill out the boxes with the amounts you wish to transfer and click the 'transfer' buttons.

Note: You can view what stocks are in all of your warehouses by selecting My Warehouses from the left hand menu, this will give you a list of all the warehouses you own and there current stock levels. You cannot alter stock from this screen.

Note: Warehouses are rented and you will be subject to a weekly fee for using the service. This fee is dependant on the size of the warehouse, but is fairly small.
