Cargo gameplay in Star Citizen offers a thrilling and dynamic way to explore the universe while turning a profit. With vast distances and wide expanses of space between pockets of civilization, someone has to transport goods to where they need to be. This is where haulers come in; dedicated individuals who load up their ships with goods and ferry them across the stars to their final destinations.
Cargo ventures can be fraught with risks, including piracy and fluctuating commodity prices between pickup and delivery. However, with the right knowledge, tools, and ship, it can be a lucrative endeavor.
Below is a quick start guide to the Cargo career as of Alpha 3.23. We’ll also add to this page as additional aspects of the career come online in the future, including the exciting changes coming in Alpha 3.24, which will bring substantial improvements and even more depth and realism to your cargo adventures. And if you're looking for additional help in the 'verse, check out the Guide System to get paired with an experienced player who can help show you the ropes.

Starting Funds

Keep in mind that you’ll also need funds for fuel, repairs, and upgrades.
The in-game currency, Alpha United Earth Credits (aUEC), is also essential for buying commodities that you can transport and sell for a profit. You can earn aUEC through various activities, including completing missions available on the mobiGlas.
Cargo Carriers
Externer Inhalt robertsspaceindustries.comInhalte von externen Seiten werden ohne Ihre Zustimmung nicht automatisch geladen und angezeigt.In the expansive universe of Star Citizen, a ship with ample storage space is essential. A ship's carrying capacity is denoted by its Standard Cargo Unit (SCU) value. This becomes even more crucial if you decide to begin your journey as a cargo hauler or commodity trader, as the more you can fit in your ship's hold, the bigger your potential earnings become.
While a specialized cargo ship with expanded SCU capacity focuses on maximizing profits, it’s equally important for players to pick the ship best suited to their career level, intended tasks, and playstyle. We've included a non-exhaustive list of suggested ships below for your various cargo needs.

Commodities
Commodities are resources not meant for personal use but rather for processing or trading.

Their value can fluctuate based on supply and demand, making it crucial to identify optimal trade routes and markets.
Note: In the 'verse, vice commodities refer to a category of goods that are often associated with illegal activities or are regulated by certain jurisdictions. The legality and availability of these commodities can vary depending on location.

Getting Good(s)
Externer Inhalt robertsspaceindustries.comInhalte von externen Seiten werden ohne Ihre Zustimmung nicht automatisch geladen und angezeigt.Most commodities can be bought or sold at kiosks in Trade & Development Division buildings (TDDs) at major landing zones, admin offices in space stations, and storage buildings at some surface outposts.
Commodities can also be acquired from mining and research facilities, hydroponics labs, cities, and space stations as well as certain illegal operations on planets and moons.
Buy Low, Sell High
Externer Inhalt robertsspaceindustries.comInhalte von externen Seiten werden ohne Ihre Zustimmung nicht automatisch geladen und angezeigt.Each locale stocks a limited selection of commodities and will have different demand levels for different goods. Pricing also differs per location, so it is worth keeping abreast of the economy to know where demand is highest for a particular type of commodity. To maximize earnings, buy low and sell high.
Sealing the Deal
Ready
Externer Inhalt robertsspaceindustries.comInhalte von externen Seiten werden ohne Ihre Zustimmung nicht automatisch geladen und angezeigt.Once a suitable ship is acquired and outfitted for a run, your next step is to determine your most profitable trade routes and commodities based on your ship's SCU capacity and preferred risk level. Trading high-value commodities can be very profitable, but it also comes with increased risks, such as piracy and market depreciation.
Some commodities popular with traders include laranite, beryl, diamond, gold, medical supplies, hephaestanite, and recycled material composite (RMC).
Get Set
Externer Inhalt robertsspaceindustries.comInhalte von externen Seiten werden ohne Ihre Zustimmung nicht automatisch geladen und angezeigt.It's now time to acquire the commodities you'll be trading. Purchase commodities from locations where they're cheap; mining outposts often sell raw materials at lower prices, while high-tech planets may offer advanced goods at a premium.
Head to the nearest trade kiosk relevant to your needs and interact with it by tapping 'F' while looking at it. Select your ship from the dropdown menu. Click on the Buy tab, select the commodity you want to purchase, and adjust the purchase quantity using the slider in the lower-right corner.
Tip: Avoid investing all your credits into a single commodity. Diversify your trades to mitigate risk and capitalize on varying market conditions.
Cargo!
Externer Inhalt robertsspaceindustries.comInhalte von externen Seiten werden ohne Ihre Zustimmung nicht automatisch geladen und angezeigt.Once your ship is loaded with commodities, navigate to your chosen destination, preferably where your commodities are in high demand. Stay vigilant during the journey to avoid being attacked by other players. It might also be helpful to monitor the in-game global chat for any reported pirate sightings. Upon arrival, land near trading kiosks for efficient cargo handling and sell your cargo for profit. You must land legally in order to trade, as your ship will not appear in the kiosk if you don't.
Congratulations — you’re on your way to establishing yourself in this lucrative profession!
Tip: 'Creatively-acquired' cargo or vice commodities require unscrupulous buyers. Your best bet is to head to a "No Questions Asked" terminal, typically found in salvage/scrap yards to offload these 'sensitive goods.'

Instanced and Personal Hangars
Coming in Alpha 3.24
Externer Inhalt robertsspaceindustries.comInhalte von externen Seiten werden ohne Ihre Zustimmung nicht automatisch geladen und angezeigt.The addition of Instanced Hangars in Alpha 3.24 increases the availability of hangars in stations, and players can now spend as much time as needed in them preparing for their adventures without blocking other players.
Furthermore, each player will be offered a persistent Personal Hangar at their primary residence. This is a dedicated space that can be personalized with furniture, decorations, and items. The size of a player's Personal Hangar will be determined by their largest flyable ship. Personal Hangars will also be outfitted with ASOP terminals for easier retrieval of ships and ground vehicles, ship elevator platforms, storage access kiosks, and freight elevators.
Freight Elevators and Storage Access
Coming in Alpha 3.24
Externer Inhalt robertsspaceindustries.comInhalte von externen Seiten werden ohne Ihre Zustimmung nicht automatisch geladen und angezeigt.Alpha 3.24 is set to introduce significant enhancements to Cargo gameplay, including Storage Access and Freight Elevators. These will fundamentally change how players interact with cargo, items, and ships, ringing in the next phase of physicalized cargo.
The new freight elevators will be located in player hangars and provide physical access to personal location inventories, replacing the previous method of pressing the inventory hotkey 'I.' This will allow players to transfer items to and from storage by hand (or tractor beam) and take complete control of loading and preparing their ships for their next grand endeavor. Ships will also now only support physicalized inventory, but a small personal inventory may be offered onboard some ships where players can store personal items for easy access.
Storage Access (previously known as Item Banks) will serve as a tangible interface for players to manage their FPS items within the location inventory. Multiple strategically placed kiosks across locations will facilitate this, allowing players to conveniently transfer belongings to and from their personal inventories, swap load-outs, and organize their personal weapons and equipment without needing to go to a hangar.
Commodity Transaction Updates
Coming in Alpha 3.24
Externer Inhalt robertsspaceindustries.comInhalte von externen Seiten werden ohne Ihre Zustimmung nicht automatisch geladen und angezeigt.Commodities will be purchased and sold in boxes, the sizes of which will vary based on location and ship size. This will add greater variety to trade routes and overall 'spice' to the cargo career. To tie in with the implementation of manual cargo stowage, purchased commodities will no longer be automatically and instantly loaded onto ships, adding a new layer of immersion and engagement.
These cargo boxes will instead be sent to player warehouses, requiring players to physically load them onto ships via freight elevators. Those who would prefer can utilize the automated cargo loading service at a cost of time and money. Although player ships will be briefly out of commission, they will return fully stocked, re-armed, and ready for immediate departure when the automated loading service is completed.
New Hauling Missions
Coming in Alpha 3.24
Externer Inhalt robertsspaceindustries.comInhalte von externen Seiten werden ohne Ihre Zustimmung nicht automatisch geladen und angezeigt.Players will be given the opportunity to undertake hauling mission contracts that differ from free-form sandbox commodity trading. Instead of purchasing commodities using their own capital, players will transport substantial quantities of tracked goods across a realistic logistics network, visiting distribution centers, Lagrange points, gateway stations, low-earth orbit (LEO) stations, and landing zones.
