The Galleon S204 Cargo Hold is the best cargo hold we've encountered in the game so far as it provides the most storage space.

10ST Hauler Shielded Cargo Hold | 17860 | 320 | Red Mile |
The 10ST Hauler Shielded Cargo Hold is the best shielded cargo hold we've encountered in the game so far. With its large shielded cargo space, it will allow you to smuggle the most contraband to different systems.
The cargo hold can be purchased from Lon Anderssen in Red Mile at Planet Porrima III after reaching level 32.
How to Smuggle and Where to Sell Contraband
Cargo Hold Stats Overview | |
---|---|
Cargo | Increases the amount of items the ship can store by the indicated amount. |
Shielded Cargo | Indicates the amount of contraband items the ship can hide and protect from scans. |
Hull | Increases your ship's health by the indicated number. |
Cargo Hold modules act as your ship's storage. They store items for smuggling, delivery, and safekeeping.
When entering some systems, your ship will be scanned for contraband. If you are carrying contraband, you may be arrested and the contraband may be confiscated. To be able to smuggle and move around contraband, your ship will need shielded cargo holds that protect contraband from scans.
If you don't want to spend any credits to protect your contraband, you can sell them instead. The easiest way to sell contraband is to go to The Den's Trade Authority branch in the Wolf star system. Find Marcel Duris at the west side of The Den.
There are no factions that will scan you as you enter this star system, making it possible to bring contraband without needing to install special ship modules or spending skill points in Deception skill.
How to Smuggle and Where to Sell Contraband
You can access the ship's storage or cargo hold from a screen beside your cockpit as shown in the image above. You can also access your ship storage by being on your ship and pressing Q while on your inventory menu.
Press R while looking at the Cargo Hold to access the Inventory Transfer Menu. From this menu, press Q to switch to your inventory. Highlight an item from your inventory and press E to store it into your Ship Storage.
You can sell items from your ship storage directly to NPCs without having to carry your ship's inventory. When interacting with a vendor, use the Q button to toggle between Buy, Sell, and Sell from Frontier. Utilize this so you don't have to carry all your items and be over-encumbered to sell items.
You can upgrade ship parts by replacing them at a spaceport. Interact with the local ship technician, and from there, you can purchase modules with higher stats. Equip them to your ship while replacing the old parts.
