SCU Info

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 1 m³ (1,000 l) stored inside a container with a standard thickness of 0.125 m. Making the total size of 1 SCU ca. 1.95 m³ (1.25 × 1.25 × 1.25 m).^[1]

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

SCU adopts metric prefix in game to indicate a multiple or fraction of the unit. One Storage Point (SP) is the equivalent of one microSCU.

CSCU ÷ 100 = SCU

EXAMPLE:

5620 ÷ 100 = 56.2 SCU of Quantainium.

To make things simple to understand, when you put stuff into the refineries for example, it shows the SCU amounts you put in as CSCU. This is because not all items take up the same amount of space in your ship. As you see above this is literally a measurement of space. This is why players running cargo should run small stuff such as cheap titanium because they can fit such a large amount in their ship and can often fill up 100% in one stop. You can generate a large profit volume hauling simply the smallest stuff in the verse aka scrap, titanium, etc.
