[Ship Stats] Archon - Does not carry 4800 Ore

[Petitioner]

Non of what anyone is saying makes sense, the Archon does what it says on the tin,
it says cargo 2400, you mine 2400, you trade anything it's 2400,
except Earhart as that's a different ball game & can/does change when the staff feel fit.

Except for commodities which take more than one unit of volume (ie, cargo space) per unit. For example, unrefined ores, which take two cargo space per unit. 1 unit of Niobium Ore = 2 units of cargo space.

Unless you're in the Archon or Hegemon.

That is the whole point of those ships.

Yes, that's how it works. 2400 is already the doubled amount; on other ships, ore takes 2 cargo space per unit. 4800 would be 4x the effective cargo space.

This is what it's supposed to have according to the info.

Where are you pulling this info from? The variable cargo allowance isn't listed on the ship infocard.

It has 2400 volume of cargo space, and as a heavy miner class, it treats ore as having 1 volume per unit. I'm not seeing the issue.

The Archon has 2400 cargo hold, Any ore is alocated to the cargo holds as taking 0.5 of its original size.
This means that :
regular ores, originaly 2 cargo spaces x 0.5 = 1 cargo ocupied
chridebris original size 10 cargo space x 0.5 = 5 cargo ocupied
This logic was used probably to save time so one does not need to code every single ore to fit X, Y or Z ship
Its more easy to get those conditions atached to the ship than the ores,
Its a simple code logic guys. Dont see the complication.
