What happens when my ship is destroyed?
Permadeath: you lose the ship, its fitted modules and its cargo, except what is in the safety hold.
- Your hub stash is never at risk.
- The ship's level and affinity points go too.
- The rest drops in the wreck for anyone to loot, you included.
- Faction-quality items, fitted or in cargo, are destroyed, not dropped.
- The safety hold is four cells in a fixed 2×2 square at the top left of every cargo grid. Items fully on it are kept.
- Items partly on it are kept by a chance proportional to the share covered, shown in their tooltip.
- Items with the safe cipher (Tek cipher Lucky Cigarettes) are also kept.
- Kept items go to your hub stash.
Tip
Before undocking, move valuables fully onto those cells.
Changed in Beta Patch 2: most hulls had two safety cells; the Acolyte, Eidolon and Starrk had none. Safety hold improvements are coming.
