Standard Cargo Unit

Standard Cargo Unit (SCU) is a unit used to describe the volume of cargo in game. It is commonly used to describe cargo capacity of vehicles in the verse. It is based on the size of 1m3 stored inside a container with a standard thickness of 0.125m. Making the total size of 1 SCU ca. 1.95m3 (1.25 × 1.25 × 1.25m).

Currently there are only storage containers of 1 SCU in the game, holding 100 units of commodities each.
