Greetings Captains!

In order to improve your experience in Star Trek Online, we are bringing you some great news!

I heard you can get +25 for each inventory, but i dont know if thats accurate. Either way, just get every Korok you can, but dont panic if one is being a pain in the ass. Theres enough seeds, youll get enough upgrades that you dont need all of em. Finding a good ship or multi-tool is layer upon layer of RNG in the base game. Every one can spawn at one of 4 classes, with random base stats, random inventory slots, and random tech slots. Ships also spawn as one of three sizes. I got fed up with this, so I decided to remove the RNG. There are multiple options available, use only one. Save on Inventory Space & More at STO Star Trek Online, the free to play online roleplaying game set in the future of the Star Trek universe, is having a New Year’s sale for Captains on PC. Save on all kinds of services, and start your adventure in the Final Frontier with such beloved Star Trek actors as Jeri Ryan, LeVar Burton and Tony Todd. They have two types of inventory, Organ Chamber and Storage Sacs. The inventory is currently fixed at 22 slots for a Storage Sac, and 21 slots for an Organ Chamber. Note: This type of ship can use black holes without requiring repairs.

We will be increasing the number of main inventory slots for all characters by 18, and the number of character bank slots by 12. This is a free increase for all existing (and future) characters that will take effect when this week’s patch goes live.

Additionally, we will be increasing the number of times you can purchase the “12 Inventory Slots” and “12 Bank Slots” options from the Cryptic Store. This will also become available when this week’s patch goes live.

You will be able to purchase the “12 Inventory Slots” option up to 6 times, instead of the previous limit of 3. This allows the purchase of up to 36 additional inventory slots than previously allowed. When added to the 18 free slots, you can now extend main inventory by 54 additional slots.

You will be able to purchase the “12 Bank Slots” option up to 12 times, instead of the previous limit of 4. This allows the purchase of up to 96 additional bank slots than previously allowed. When added to the 12 free slots, you can now extend bank storage by 108 additional slots.

We hope this helps alleviate some of the storage issues many of our players have faced over the years, and will allow your Captains the space needed to fully stock your ship and crew for the adventures that await you throughout the STO galaxy.

You can expect to see the increased slots in your inventory and bank this Thursday, February 27th, 2014, after maintenance has completed. Enjoy!

Inventory is a general term for items that can be carried or stored by a player.

  • 2Inventory Slots
  • 3Exosuit
Sto Maximum Inventory Slots

Summary[edit edit source]

A player's inventory is divided into 6 sections: exosuit, multi-tool, starship, exocraft, storage container, and freighter. As of Atlas Rises, there are now three types of inventory slot: General, Cargo, and Technology.

Inventory Slots[edit edit source]

General[edit edit source]

General slots are able to hold any one of the following stacks:

  • up to 9999 of any basic resource (such as Ferrite Dust, Oxygen, Carbon, Chromatic Metal, etc.)
  • up to 20 tiny items, including Navigation Data
  • up to 15 small items, including Salvaged Data
  • up to 10 medium items, including Metal Plating and Di-hydrogen Jelly
  • up to 5 large items, including Glass, all trade goods, and many crafting components such as Ion Batteries and Antimatter
  • A single huge item, mostly Artifacts and uninstalled Upgrade Modules
  • A single installed Technology or Upgrade Module

Technology[edit edit source]

Technology slots are, as the name implies, limited to containing installed technology; they cannot hold any other items. Specifically, they can hold any of the following:

  • A single installed Technology
  • A single installed Upgrade Module

Note that technology slots cannot store uninstalled upgrade modules.

Cargo[edit edit source]

Cargo slots can be used for storing large amounts of items, but they can't have technologies installed into them. They can hold any of the following stacks:

  • up to 9999 of any basic resource (the same as general inventory slots)
  • up to 40 tiny items, including Navigation Data
  • up to 30 small items, including Salvaged Data
  • up to 20 medium items, including Metal Plating and Di-hydrogen Jelly
  • up to 10 large items, including Glass, all trade goods, and many crafting components such as Ion Batteries and Antimatter
  • A single item, mostly Artifacts and uninstalled Upgrade Modules

Cargo slots can hold double of what 'General' inventory slots can, with the exception of basic resources and unique items.

Exosuit[edit edit source]

The base Exosuit has 12 General Inventory Slots, 4 Technology Inventory Slots and 2 Cargo Inventory Slots available. Additional slots can be unlocked by interacting with suit upgrade terminals in Drop Pods and Space Stations.

The first upgrade is free and subsequent upgrades increase cost by an additional 10,000 units per upgrade. (i.e., Free, 10,000, 20,000, 30,000, etc) (No prompt to upgrade the Exosuit is shown after the 48th slot. [Needs confirmation])

The total amount of units needed to gain the maximum number of General Inventory slots is 6,300,000 units.

Technology Inventory[edit edit source]

This begins with 4 Technology slots installed. The maximum number of inventory slots for this category is 14 spaces (2x7). They are the cheapest slots to purchase. The first upgrade costs 1,000 units with varying costs for subsequent upgrades.

(i.e., 50,000, 100,000, 150,000, 200,000, etc)

Multi-tool[edit edit source]

The starting multi-tool has five (5) inventory slots. The maximum number of inventory slots for a multi-tool is 24 (8x3). Players can exchange their multi-tool for other versions to get additional slots. Multi-tools with upgraded inventories can be found in outposts (planetary bases with Landing Pads), space anomalies, and randomly as rewards from successfully completing events.

All multi-tools have technology slots only; it is not possible to store items in a multi-tool.

Starship[edit edit source]

Inventory page for a ship with 27 slots

The starting starship has 15 general inventory slots and 4 technology slots. Claiming and switching to a pre-order ship, Alpha Vector or Horizon Omega, gives one additional general slot, for a total of 16. The maximum number of general inventory slots for a starship is 48 (8x6) (only on Hauler ships), and the maximum number of technology slots is 14 (only on Explorer ships).

Additional slots can be added to an owned ship by:

  • using the terminal next to the appearance modifier in most space stations
  • Storage Augmentation curiosity for a single-slot expansion.

If neither of these methods are suitable, a player can also purchase a new starship with more inventory slots available; this may be cheaper than repeated upgrades.

If you have 15 general and 4 tech, this gives 19 slots for a ship. Next slot will cost 1M, and the next after 2M. Table may not be accurate for 58-61.

Exocraft[edit edit source]

Each of the four Exocraft has its own inventory.

Base containers[edit edit source]

Up to 10 Storage Containers may be constructed at your base, or on your freighter. Each one contains twenty Cargo slots, each capable of storing 9999 (normal), or 1000(survival) resources, or 10 stacking items. These inventory slots are shared with like-numbered storage containers in other bases or on a freighter.

Freighter[edit edit source]

Freighters may also be purchased to expand your storage capabilities.

Mechanics[edit edit source]

Transfer Items panel

You can move items from your Exosuit to your Freighter and vice versa without a distance limit, but only when a Matter Beam is installed. Without one, you must be aboard your Freighter to move an item between Freighter and your Exosuit or Starship. On the contrary, moving an item to or from your Ship and Exosuit is limited to 25-seconds walking distance between you and your ship (walls do not block the limit).

Elements can stack up to 9999 in each of the slots in the Exosuit General inventory in Normal mode, and 250 per slot in other modes.

Elements can stack up to 9999 in any inventory in Normal mode, and 500 in each of the slots in the Exosuit Cargo inventory, Ship inventory, up to 1000 in the Freighter inventory or in a Storage Container inventory in other modes. A player may also transfer inventory to another member of their Multiplayer team. When the Transfer Items panel is displayed, the names of the other players in the group are included for selection if desired.
