Supply crates
Crates are containers for items. Especially large items -- such as lockers, certain robots or equipment -- cannot fit inside. Just because an item comes packed in a crate when the Quartermaster receives it doesn't mean it will go back inside once the crate is opened!
Supply Crates are ordered at Cargo Bay by either a Cargo Technician or the Quartermaster. You can also send them a request via PDA or the Requests Console. More crates can be found around the station.
Give Onto the QM his Dues
The Quartermaster can order a whole lot of crates and he usually wants the crate back after you've taken your supplies. They are worth a certain amount of points which can be used to get more supplies for the station's whole benefit. The quartermasters like it when people bring crates, and will often give things without hassle to people with crates brought in.
Crate Locks and Access
Just like the rest of the station, crates have variable levels of access. The QM can't unlock anything that is locked by default, for various reasons, the primary one being it would be pointless to make because all crates go through the QM anyway. Security crates can be opened by security personnel and those with higher access, et cetera. An emag can get into locked crates, however, or you can get resourceful. You can also move cash from the cargo budget ID and insert it into a private ID, and then use the Buy Directly option.
Making Money
Cargo budget starts off with 5,000 credits. This is the budget you use to buy crates, and this is where money from exports ends up. The QM can access this budget with the departmental card (Cargo Budget) found in his/her bag. If the QM has lost the budget card, you can also insert space cash into the bank machine in the vault to make it go directly into the cargo budget. The Quartermaster can enter the vault by using the supply door remote, found in the QM's locker.
Exports
You can receive credits by shipping items back to CentCom. Examples:
- You will get 500 credits per crate.
- Every ordered crate has a "shipping manifest" on it. You rip it off by clicking the crate. Stamp that shipping manifest with any stamp except the denied stamp, then put it into a crate and close it. Shipping that crate will then give you 200 extra credits.
- 5-1,000 credits per sheet of material (depends on material rarity, metal/glass the least rare and diamond/bananium the most).
- Every sheet of plasma shipped will give you 200 credits.
- 100-500 credits per fuel tanks and water tanks, depending on how full they are.
- 5,000-40,000 credits for some of the rare artifacts that your Shaft Miners might find. Make sure you scan the item with an Export Scanner before selling.
Crates are money. Find them. Hoard them greedily. Steal them if need be. The more crates you send back, the more stuff you can order. Other things are money, too. If you think about, the station is really just a huge pile of money. Experiment! You can use your Export Scanner once linked with a Cargo Console to verify the price of an item before you export it. Just because you think a good might be worth something doesn't mean that CentCom wants it!
Bounties
The Nanotrasen bounty console can be checked for a list of Bounties. These are items you can ship for one time credit rewards. Most of them may require cooperation from other departments. You can print the list. After you have delivered a bounty to CentCom, you must go to the Bounty Console and click "Claim" on the completed entry to receive the reward. You can scan an item with your Export Scanner to see if it's eligable for a bounty.
Ordering Crates
To spend the money you made, you need to order crates. The price of these crates is pulled from the cargo budget on departure from CentCom, unless you use Buy Directly.
- The supply request console is typically public, and lets anyone request an order. Unless you use Buy Directly, this console asks the requester to type a reason for each order. This reason appears on the supply console, where the request must be approved or denied. The requisition form printed is only used for documentation.
- The supply console lets you order crates, and approve/reject orders made on a supply request console. It's also used to call and send the supply shuttle. Do this by clicking the "Cargo Bay" or "CentCom" text near the top. When the shuttle is called from CentCom, it will ship your placed orders to the cargo bay, if you can afford them.
Buying Directly
Anyone placing an order at a supply console or supply request console has the choice to click the Buy Directly button. Doing so will charge money directly from that person's worn ID, instead of from the cargo budget. It will cost a 10% extra fee (which goes to the cargo budget), and the crate will be access-restricted to the buyer instead of having its ordinary access requirement.
Supply Drop Pods
Once Mining Technology has been researched, you are able to print an Express Supply Console computer board from the cargo techfab. Building an Express Supply Console and then swiping it with a QM-level ID card will unlock an interface similar to the Supply Console. Ordering any crate with this console will have it delivered instantly with a drop pod. The drop pod causes a fiery explosion. The drop location will be a random spot in Cargo Bay, unless you emag it, or print a Supply Pod Beacon for 500 credits. You can use the console to change the drop location to that of the last printed beacon. Printing a new beacon will make the first beacon permanently useless. Use teamwork to have one person take the beacon to locations where crates need to be delivered, while the other person orders the crate. The drop pods themselves must be dismantled with a welder.
Upgrading the Supply Drop Pods
Once Bluespace Travel has been researched, the cargo techfab will be able to print a Supply Drop Pod Upgrade Disk. Inserting this disk into the Express Supply Console will upgrade its drop pods by making their explosion size smaller, and making them automatically teleport out after landing. After upgrading you must unlock the console again and print a new beacon.
Crates
Following is a list of the crates available and their contents.
Entries marked with "Small item" can be ordered together with other small items, which automatically bundles them into a single crate per purchaser. All access restrictions on small item orders will then stack on that crate, making you require all of them to open it.
